If you know design at all, you like the greek key.

"God designed people to need other people. They are His prized possessions. Other people keep our souls alive just like food & water does our body." - Blue Like Jazz

Preparing to leave this place; trying to remember, "He uses you where you are."

I found this tray on Pinterest today & fell in love. I've been looking at different organizers since learning I'd be moving again. It is a great "do-it-yourself" inexpensive project for under $20. Follow the link to the Sanity Fair

I found this great website, C.S. Post & Co. Where I came across the Wheaten coffee table. It reminds me of a home from the 9th ward, we saw on our New Orleans trip. While the home experienced great devastation it's character still stands strong, and this coffee table is great tribute to the home's accents.

I found this on A Well Traveled Woman. It is old abondoned boats turned into barns. There is so much about this I love.

Santa brought me a cool new camera for Christmas this year, so I've been playing a bit with it to learn all the bells & whistles. This is a photo of my all time favorite shoes, J.Crew moccasins that lace up the back. I've been rockin' these the past 3 years.

This year for Christmas I got my mother a marbleized journal made in Italy. While in Italy several years ago we visited a store where they actually made the patterns; so I was very excited when I came across the journal. This week I found an article in House Beautiful & Country Living about home accents made with similar patterns. I love how each piece is different in the marbleized pattern, and I thought I would share some of the marbleized inspirations.

Happy New Year! Bring on a good year!

God breaks down time so we can have these new beginnings. Stop & reflect on what the Lord wants for your new year today!

One of my favorite quotes;

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel - as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them- wherever you go." Anthony Bourdain
