~I am back and I have a winner~

Texas was all I thought it would be, and more.

It was filled with shopping, good food, and great friends.

More on that to come……

When I returned home, I had one day to whip my house in to shape

 for a Cottages & Bungalows photo shoot.

If you follow me on instagram you should have seen bits and pieces of that.

More on that to come as well.

But for today, I have a winner to announce for this lovely drink dispenser from

Jay Companies.

Thank you to all who entered.

Who is making that caramel apple pie sangria by the way?

The lucky winner is Barbara who said:

I immediately fell in love with that beverage glass dispenser because of the willow base and lid design...thought it was so rustic and unique! Also, I went to check out your dinnerware designs and I am most liking the simple but pretty American Atelier Bianca Bead White square 16 piece dinnerware set, perfect for dinner with some friends or a wonderful night with family! Thank you for giving us a chance to enjoy your products and your blog. Take care always. 

Please email me with your shipping address, and congratulations!

~cuff giveaway winner~{& sugar detox update}

Congratulations {Kathornburgh}

to the winner of the cuff giveaway!

I hope you will love your beYOUtiful bracelet from the cuff chic!

I am on day 3 of the sugar detox.

It hasn't been horrible.

On day 2 I was super tired and basically had zero energy.

I haven't had too many sugar cravings but the no dairy and wheat is a tad hard.

I am down 6 pounds in 3 days.

That's a bonus but I am hoping my allergies will go away and hoping my energy levels will go up.

I don't feel super hungry, I attribute that to all the protein I've been eating.

I hear once you hit day 5 energy levels go up, I hope so!

~help for Oso~ {& a Starbucks winner}

The following is from my friend and neighbor Patricia:

As a small business owner, because I don't answer to anyone but myself, I can make a choice to do a lot of things that larger businesses can't. I've been so very fortunate in life - it hasn't always been easy, but God has always provided for me and my family. As a little girl, I remember going door to door for the Jerry Lewis Telethon for MD. I would show up at our local TV station, walk across the set and dump my bucket of money into the pail. It made me feel so good. As an adult, I've been on the receiving end of help from the Red Cross. On 9/11/01, my cousin was one of the victims of the attack on the World Trade Center. The Red Cross contacted me to see if I needed assistance in traveling to NYC for his funeral. While I declined, I was in awe that this foundation reached out to our family. I've had the opportunity to raise money for the Red Cross in other ways - hurricane/tornado assistance, blood drives, etc. I've always tried to help when someone approaches me for a donation for an auction or to help out an orphanage in Africa. I LOVE to help people. It's in my nature. I don't do it for the accolades, I do it because it feels good and it's the right thing for me to do.

Last Saturday, 30 miles away from my home, there was a horrific landslide - the recovery of many bodies is still ongoing. As I have listened to the stories of the victims, I am again reminded of 9/11. The amazing people who are gone too soon. How can I help??? The only thing I know that I can do is ask you to help me help them. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet, but this FRIDAY, March 28, I will be donating a portion of my sales to be donated to the Red Cross for assistance to those people of this small town, Oso, WA as they try to put their lives back together again. I don't want you to think that I'm trying to bolster my sales - as a friend said, God knows what's in my heart.

Will you help me shed a bit of sunshine on this little town?

Here's what I'm doing . . . 

OSO FUNDRAISER . . . Let's start this today, through the weekend. 30% OF ALL MY SALES will be donated to the Red Cross for the people of Oso, WA. The need is urgent. Read on . . . 

I spent part of the day yesterday listening to stories coming out of the area. They are in desperate need of so many things - right now the focus is on recovery and the firefighters, the National Guard, and the relatives and friends of those lost are in need of simple supplies. I know that whatever we raise will be put to good use, however it is allocated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait to see how love grows here.

It's tough to see any natural disaster, but when it hits this close to home it tears you apart even more.

Thank you Patricia for offering to help.

This truly is a tragedy. 

On a lighter note, I would like to announce the winner of the $50.00 Starbucks gift card:

The writer of the blog, 

Living Life In The Low Country.

Congratulations, watch for an email coming your way.

~sources from our home tour & a winner~

Thank you all for the wonderful comments on our home. Like I said, fall is my favorite time of year, so I especially like decorating for it!
I wanted to share with you a few sources, so here we go. If I've skipped over anything, please let me know!

First up, lets start with the living room:
This pillow is on sale!

This little fur one is so soft:

Speaking of fur, I couldn't be more in love with this blanket:

Another soft blanket I have on the couch is this herringbone throw.
I got it after it was used in a Country Living photo shoot I helped style.
I just couldn't resist.

Back to the pillows. This one is a screaming deal:

As are these:

On the coffee table I have this urn and these pumpkins. Love, love, love them both:

Moving onto the dining room:

This science poster is off the charts cool!

The lazy susan wine barrel server I made, and you can see the tutorial here.

I also made the "bar" You can see that here.

The books in my hutch can be found here in my etsy shop.

The dining chairs are a combination of these {in the weathered oak finish} and these:

And finally, the kitchen. The wine bottle dryer I got on ebay. It's a authentic French antique. However, I do have a smaller one that I take from room to room, including outdoors that I love. You can find it here.

I love mixing up all the mugs.
These mugs are fun colors:

I love my monogram mugs!

And I love these almost as much.

I made this sign:

Above my computer desk I have 2 orange frames. They are made by me and can be found in my etsy shop.

I finally got the cow head I've been wanting off Decor Steals.

Don't forget to visit the rest of the houses on this tour! Today is The Handmade Home, All Things Heart & Home In my Own Style and finally, Better Homes And Gardens!
