I know I've been a bad blogger lately. 

Well I'll be back because I have been collecting some pieces that I need to part with.

Starting with this beloved chalkboard, I've inherited another one so this one must go.

Great Size and these are hard to come by, trust me I look!

Harvest Arrangement

A unique blend of sunflowers, ornamental kale and oak leaf make a lovely arrangement for your thanksgiving dinner.

Enjoy!

French Provincial dining Table

Sorry for the terrible photo's.. time has not been on my side.

I'm getting a new dining table this week therefore I have to part with my beloved white french provincial table.

I'm not complaining at all about getting a new one, I just really, really liked this one.

It makes every table setting look beautiful and polished.

I know this will go to someone who will set it just beautifully;)

Price: $150

Peony Wedding Bouquet

Remember this bride...she's so beautiful and I miss her so much;)

She just sent me some photo's of her bouquet which I was more than honored to do for her.

This bouquets is done with white peonies, callas, stephanotis, roses and freesia and of course a touch of bling!

House Creeper

I headed down to Fort Langley with my beautiful glowing mother to be friend and we went for a walk. We both share a love for unique shopping and beautiful homes. Here is one we creeped on! I love a traditional style home and the setting in their little backyard was so cute.

Fort Langley is so beautiful and the weather played a great part in that.

I could do that every week!

Hydraneas

My hydrangeas are in full bloom and I'm so glad I planted so many. This photo was taken last week and they are even bigger this week. I catch myself standing there just staring at them, I love them so much I thought I'd Share!

My life lately..

This is what I've been doing lately

Lot's and lot's of pickles

and lot's of multi coloured beans

Which make for pretty canning

and time spent with amazing friends

(this is my girlfriends husband if you were wondering)

and we are so thankful for our husbands who catch us plenty of fresh fish!

Summer...

This summer is slipping past me and has been busy, busy, busy! Hence why I haven't had many posts lately. Hopefully this will change in the fall when I get back into the swing of things. So, I'll leave you with a link to my friend Michele's beautiful blog and she will keep you posted with some amazing photo's.

My Wedding Trip

I just got back from a great trip to Winnipeg for one of my best friends wedding. I'm already wanting to plan my next trip to somewhere hot, I left the 34 degree weather to come home to more rain.

Here's a few photo's from the wedding..

The cupcakes were good

The bride was absolutely stunning

Her nephew kept me entertained all week

Of course I have to post the flowers which I brought with me on the plane and did them while I was there

Had so much fun with the ladies

A diva of a flower girl

Best friends

Something Old

It felt like a high school reunion being back and I cherished every minute of it.

Blessings to you Michelle and Jeff

and your new life together!

CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY

I told you the photo's would be AMAZING!

"Let's Feather Their Nest"

Here is just a glimpse at the beautiful shower my girlfriends and I put on for our amazing friend and her new baby boy Beckett.

I will post a link when Capture Photography post's her blog and her photo's will speak for themselves.

For now Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Inspiring Garden

I love the look of this garden! I know planting season is over but this gives me more ideas for planning for next spring... the house isn't to shabby either. For now I will just sit back and enjoy what I've planted so far.

(If you haven't noticed I'm a sucker for white and green flowers)

Pink and Gold Party

This past weekend was very busy with birthday parties but I didn't mind the least bit! I had so much fun putting this one together. I chose pink and gold as my theme and just went from there.

This party was for my lovely friend at Capture Photography...so if you want to see the photo's in larger have a look at her blog, she does beautiful work.

Bedroom lighting so far..

I chose 2 of the wall lamps from Ikea for above each bed. They are clean and simple! I'm going to need another table lamp and one floor lamp. Lot's of lighting for this room!

Boys Bedroom Fabric

I finally found some fabric today for the boy's bed. This has been a challenge for me since I wanted the pattern fairly simple so I can add more patterns with curtains and throw cushions. Also, I wanted to find something with more white than grey since the walls are grey and I need to lighten it up in there. Now to start sewing...I think I'll just call my Mom;)

Relax...

Photo from Ohdeedoh

Relaxing isn't something that comes easy to me but maybe if I did this beautiful set up and took a day off with a good book ...sigh.

Side Table

You might remember this table from before. I have just tweeked it a bit to give it a finer finish. The hardware has been changed to something more eclectic and the top now has more of a gloss finish which makes it look more polished.

White Headboard

I'm parting with this headboard because we are doing a master bedroom makeover right after we finish our boy's bedroom. So some things have to go...

This headboard fit's a queen size bed.

Price: $60

Quickest Sale Ever.. SOLD

White Blossoms

When I got off work today I spent as much time as I could outdoors with my boys, playing pirates and digging . I also squeezed into their playtime some planting for my self. I may have an obsession with white and flowers. I planted in mass clumps some Peegee hydrangeas and some Bridalveil Spirea and it rained just in time so I didn't have to do any watering:)

What is new in your gardens this spring?

A French Look

I have fallen in love with many of the furniture from Restoaration Hardware and that's where my inspiration came from for this chair.

White cain back chair with linen seat.

Price: $45 for 1

or $80 for 2

Boys Bedroom

Wow! What a successful day at the Old School Market. I'm not going to lie I'm a little tired but had so much fun doing it and seeing all the amazing talent out there.

Now on to the projects I've been putting off.

We are working on our boys bedroom and this is all we have so far...

We have the walls painted in Metropolitan by Benjamin Moore and the baseboards are up.

Now to build two of these beds

I can't seem to find any bedding that I like so off to Joanne's Fabric next week to see if I can find something.

I'll keep you posted!

Green Bean Teepee

This will be one of my weekend projects. A green bean teepee, I thought it would be a fun hide out for my boys!

What are you working on this weekend?

Everyone Can Have a Garden!

photo from style files

This made me smile today!

Sorry for my lack of blogging but I have misplaced my camera charger so I can't take any photo's, wish me luck in finding it!

Wedding Season

I love wedding design so much and I'm missing out on it this year as I have decided not to do them at this point in my life.

But that doesn't mean I can't blog about them.

Here is one I just couldn't resist.

Enjoy!

Wedding Fever

When one door closes another one opens

At least that's what we are hoping. My husband and I are going through some major transitions right now and wondering what's next for us??

We have no idea! and that's o.k

So in the meantime I thought I'd share some beautiful black doors..my fav for front entrances
