We found a Tiny Kitten.
Last night while on my way to Old Venice, a tiny kitten ran in front of my car on Main Street. She looked too tiny to be by herself and I was worried she would get run over, not to mention it was 100 degrees outside. I tried for about 15 minutes to catch her but didn't have any luck, so I enlisted the help of my friend and neighbor Anna. We tried for another 15 minutes with no luck. We decided to go inside and eat...
Cotton District Arts Festival 2011
This past Saturday, Nikki Ballard and I had a booth at the Cotton District Arts Festival. This was our first year to have a booth and we had a blast. It was a pretty day, everyone was nice and complimentary and we sold more than we did at the Prairie Arts Festival. Overall it went really well and I am very proud of us. Our booth was really cute but unfortunately all of the photos I took were horrible. I am so thankful that Ben snapped a few here and there.

The Old River Bridge in Columbus, Mississippi
Since I am from Columbus, it is easy to forget how nice it can be sometimes. On Saturday, Ben and I had a fun little afternoon in Columbus. We started off by going to Palmer Home Thrift Store, which is by far my favorite local thrift store. Next I took Ben to see the Tombigbee River and the old river bridge downtown. In high school, some nights we would climb over the walls that blocked off the entrance to the bridge and walk around on the old bridge like rebels. Now the bridge is open for all to enjoy,...
I love Snow!
It hardly ever snows in Mississippi and when it does it never snows in Starkville. Last nights snow was awesome! I love snow!
These photos were taken by my lovely husband, Ben Hodge.

This past weekend, my husband and I drove to Houma, LA because his band, The Devil, You and Me had a gig at The Boxer and the Barrel. It is always nice to see my friends who now reside in LA and of course to see my husband play the washtub bass but the drive takes forever. About 5 and 1/2 hours to be exact. During this trip I made the most pleasant discovery, which made the drive quite delightful. MPB (Mississippi Public Broadcasting) Radio archives past program airings into podcasts available for free on their website. I have never...
Prairie Arts Festival 2010
This past Saturday was The Prairie Arts Festival in West Point, Mississippi and it was a blast. I really enjoyed my first arts festival experience. Overall I would say our booth was a success but we didn't sell all of our items. For whatever reason, people seemed to be buying more yard art and polka dotted painted trash cans. Also our booth was really close to the gospel stage which made it hard to talk to customers or to avoid the day long headache associated with standing near speakers. But those were my only complaints. I loved being a vendor,...
Prairie Arts Festival is tomorrow!
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.

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...
My Summer Essentials
With today being the first official day of summer, I felt inspired to share my summer essentials. 1. Jantzen Vamp Maillot One Piece in Red I bought this swimming suit for my bachelorette party and honeymoon. I love it. It is so classic and flattering. Its hard not to feel pretty in this swimming suit. 2. Bug Spray Mosquitoes love me. My mom says it is because I am so sweet. I usually use whatever bug spray I can find but I recently tried this insect repellent from Burt's Bees and...
