Prairie Arts Festival is tomorrow!

Faye — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:46:11 +0000

It’s all happening. Or at least the Prairie Arts Festival is happening tomorrow, September 4th. For the past couple of weeks, I have had entirely too much spray glue in my life. That being said I am happy with the notebooks and journals I have made recently. My new notebooks and journals are way better than the first ones I made, so that is exciting.

Here is a tiny preview of what you can expect from my corner of our booth.

Come see our booth! I will be adding all unsold items to my Etsy store, so if you see something you like just let me know.

My husband surprised me with these cool vintage gardening books and I love them.

He is such a thoughtful husband.

Pretty Shower Curtains

Ben and I need a new shower curtain since we moved our cute shower curtain into the guest bathroom. Any of these pretty shower curtains would be great, especially the first one. I am kind of in love with it actually.

These beautiful covers make me wish I was lounging on the beach reading these classics. You can get them here.

Home Inspiration: Shutters and Windows

Faye — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 21:46:44 +0000

I have so many fun ideas for new house projects. But when I get a chance to tell Ben about them, it seems like I spend more time trying to remember which blog, site or picture inspired me. In an attempt to organize my thoughts and inspiration I have decided to share my ideas with you by category.

Pretty Shutters and Windows I Adore:

I love everything about this little cottage, especially the shutters.

I love these brightly colored windows and the window boxes.

Ben likes Bermuda Shutters.

Pretty Blue Shutters from Apartment Therapy

I love how these windows open!

Blue Shutters that would match my front door. (Remember this photo from my post titled Cottage Garden Inspiration?)

I love the green!

Kirby and Dawn Moved to LA

Faye — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 01:14:40 +0000

Living in a college town can be quite tiresome. Knowing that Starkville is a transitional place for most of its residents doesn’t make it easier when they leave. Two of my best friends moved to Lake Charles, LA a week ago today. Although I know it is for the best, Kirby and Dawn feel like family now and it is hard not to be sad. They are two of the most intelligent, supportive, kind people that I have ever met and I hope they know they are loved.

We miss these puppies as well.

Prairie Arts Festival Here We Come!

Faye — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:16:59 +0000

I found out today that my vendor application for the 2010 Prairie Arts Festival in West Point, Mississippi was approved!!!

Two of my friends (Nikki Ballard and Cory Waldrop) and I are going to have a booth at this year’s Prairie Arts Festival on September 4th. I am so excited. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would be selling homemade items, much less at the PAF. The PAF is kind of a big deal. I have gone to the PAF about ten times over the years and I look forward to it every year. One of the reasons I love living in Mississippi is that most little towns have some type of annual festival and West Point’s PAF is one of the best I have seen.

Mark your calendar or planner or blackberry or iphone or however you keep up with important dates and come see our booth. You will not be disappointed. See my items and Cory’s items on Etsy.
