Fabulous Fall

Things in my Treasure Chest *Valentine's Edition*

Been online this morning looking at cute, romantic, sweet, "valentine-y" inspiration. Here are a few treasures that I found.

These are so neat, a different twist on the standard silhouette portraits or a black and white. Even the sewing-embroidery challenged person like myself should be able to pull this off. Directions are here .

Some pretty pink blossoms that I clipped from a bush on the side of the road.

Lemon chicken, sounds delicious and looks super easy. From the Barefoot Contessa, you can find the recipe here .

Sweet napkin roses, how special for a Valentine's day dinner for the family. Found at Martha Stewart online, click here .

Several really cute and FrEe wallpapers found at Susan Branch online. I have the above on my desktop right now, perfect for Valentine's Day! You can find them here .

This necklace is absolutely adorable. I'm really into bees right now. How cute would it be to receive this with a note that said, "Would you bee mine?" Adorables!:)http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product/Liberty/Gifts-for-Her/Gold-Bumblebee-Necklace,-Alex-Monroe/14824

A sweet Valentine's card from my Hubby from a few years back. I pull it out and display it every year since, it's perfect. He said he picked it out because, "It looked like something you would make." How cute is that?!?

Hope your week is off to a sweet start!

Things in my Treasure Chest

I've found that I really enjoy reading other bloggers "like lists." You know what I'm talking about? Songs they like, books they've read, wonderful websites they've visited, products they are lusting admiring, blogs that are inspiring. I thought it would be neat to join in on the fun.

So from time to time I am going to post about things in my "treasure chest" that I'm currently enjoying, finding inspiration from, etc. I'd love to hear about yours too!


This is a beautiful song, one that I find especially meaningful. As a believer, I struggle with guilt over not having the walk with Christ that I know I should. This song helps me to put into perspective that my walk with Him is a journey, not something that only has meaning when I'm doing it "right".


I absolutely love this song. It really reminds me that I am in a temporary place, that I am going home to a place that I've never been before. That this place I am at, while it brings joy also brings frustrations and trials that God will wipe way in an instant when His plan calls it to. That this world, as amazing and awe inspiring as it is will be gone in a moment and we will be in His presence.

We got a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble and I can't decide what book or CD I want so I decided to use it for something else. I found this cute globe, I've always wanted a little globe for the house and I think it's perfect.

What are your current sources of inspiration, joy or enjoyment that you want to share?
