I finally made the decision to open up shop! My stomach has been in knots all day. Nervous, Excited, all of the emotions in one. I have been waiting for the right time to open up trying to make sure all of my ducks are in a row. So much so that I almost put it off today, just to make sure my office was completely spotless. I'm kind of OCD in that sense. I can't think with a mess around, but i'm finding that there will always be something holding me back and there may never really be the perfect time. With much Prayer and Patience from good friends and family I am at peace with opening up shop. So here we go! Cheers to a Happy "Etsy" Launch!!!
Amelie is pretty excited for Mommy too, don't you think;)
A Very Welcomed Saturday ;) I finally was out of the house for a good part of the day, out of leggings and feeling so much better. While out and about with Chad and Amelie I found some really fun Vintage finds! Does your heart ever skip a beat when you see something you love! Wether it's the color (for me that color is Always Turquoise), texture (lace), or the way it feels in your hand...like it was meant to be. Well even if it's not "meant to be" I'm pretty good at finding very logical reasoning of why i need it. Well, I found some really great things to use for {Birds of a Freckle}, Tea cups for all of those tea parties I have (eh-hem...One day), and beautiful Turquoise hanging wire basket for the very soon flower planting (still praying for a green thumb).
I love the Crisp, Fresh air the day after a storm. There is just something about the feeling it brings... a new day, a fresh start...a new season is right around the corner. Spring!! My favorite season of all. I love the new colors, warmth, outdoors, flowers, (sigh) so much to look forward to.

Some Fun, Colorful {Birds of a Freckle} to come..................
Distressed Bow tie Clips/ Brooch pins to add a little Flare to your hair, purse, scarves, sweaters etc...
Mustard and Pink felt clips with a little touch of vintage inspired lace trim
I love how our Father knows just how to get us to stop and "Be still"
For me it took the flu. My very least favorite cold ever! I hate it, and honestly would compare it pretty darn close to child birth. Okay, okay...I guess that I'm being a little dramatic but what's new. I really cannot remember the last time I have been sick like this. My husband was such a champ. He saw and put up with a lot. The best part of it all was that he just let me (told me) to "Rest". That is what i literally did was just sleep the day away and tuned out every noise and distraction. The past couple of days have been spent recouping and sanitizing the house, which is not exactly what i pictured myself doing on these cozy rainy days. Nope, not at all. I would have loved to craft, read a good book by the fire, you know...your typical wish you could do list on rainy days.
Jesus knows my heart and what I need to motivate me. Even to clean the house. I have had Pandora on all day listening to the "Gungor" station. This is my favorite station, it is filled so much worship. Anyways, when i get going on cleaning, I am in no mood to stop until everything is somewhat finished. But today God has literally made me stop come into the living room and just praise HIm!
He is so Good! He touches my heart where I am in need the most. He is the bread of life. If i could just be still more often...how much fuller my heart would be.
My Sweet daughter Amelie, you have given us the most precious gift of all! Endless love! You have shown me how to love deeper and stronger. WIth the cute little things you do during the day or even just a glance at your little mug literally make my heart ache with such love for you. All of these emotions i feel has given me a small glimpse as to what our Father feels for us, as his children. HIs heart aches with Love for us!!
So while part of this blogging experience may be for fun and business, I am also really enjoying browsing other blogs with spiritual upliftings for your daily walk. My roots could always use a little watering as well as my daughters. Even though we pray for Amelie everyday, found this list to help me be more specific when praying of her life.
For more uplifting messages and prayers for your daily life with kids, spouses, and friendships
