DIY Christmas card display holder
I LOVE Christmas cards, especially the photo cards. This year, and last, and the one before I have ordered our cards through Minted. I love their selection and quality. And, this years cards are just as good if not better. I mean gold foil? Done! Not to mention they were already addressed when they arrived at my house. Total win here! Since I love photo cards so much, I always try to display them in a cute way. But, it's never very cute and every year I say I'm going to create a great display for them. Well,

From my Kitchen to Yours – Shrimp Provençal
Happy Monday friends!! I hope you had a great weekend. We certainly did despite all the rain. I wanted to share a delicious and quick recipe that we made on Friday night. Ryan, my husband, texted me in route from Miami and asked if I would get shrimp. I texted back laughing saying just left the store and actually just bought some. He sent me the following recipe, and ironically, I had just bought half of the ingredients as well. So, when he finally got home he showed me that he actually found the recipe in Charleston Magazine. It's quick and easy

A garage sale, $10, paint and voila
Every weekend I keep saying I'm going to make it to a garage sale and of course I never do! However, some time ago, I did have a friend call me from a garage sale asking if I wanted a pair of end tables for $10- he sent a picture and I said, "sure for $10 why not?" I didn't realize some time later that this would be a great addition/investment for our new home. Of course I don't have the before picture but picture a blonde pine and brass handles- that should give you a good idea. So the sanding
Let’s not stress- let’s distress- Finished Product and introduction of Lemongrass Home Decor
Do you remember these tables? Like I mentioned before, my father in law came in town and I let him work on these to see if this would be something he would enjoy. He had a good time and I just learned he is working on another piece- so much fun! The picture of the final results are below. There are so many way to redo furniture but in order to create the look on the side tables the first and most important step was to sand of the previous lacquer. Then he used Milk Paint that I found downtown
