So we’re home.
You may not know, but we were in New Orleans this week for the Annie Sloan Unfolded conference and unfortunately, the hotel’s wifi was not in service a.k.a. none of my blog posts went out.
We missed you, but are home again and going to enjoy a lazy weekend with the kids. We’ll be buying seeds to beef up our garden, and working on some online shop stuff. P.S. look for a giveaway coming SOON!
This post in no way ties into our pics, but these are a few we’ve snapped lately on Instagram, which is probably my most favorite social media must-do. I love that while I stay connected to my friends and readers, I’m filming a mini-documentary of our lives together.
The kids are so accustomed to my photographing their every move, they flinch none and dramatically pose the other half of the time.
They’re also pretty aware that I photograph things like blankets all day.
Or driving to my childhood home,
And coming back to our home now.
We love our Instagram.
I’m snapping pics of our design installs, too.
Pretty much anything.
Especially these two…
And the wild hairs I get almost daily…
I love sharing snippets of our life together, and I’m going to make myself order some prints and a book very, very soon.
So our family is not forever preserved on one of my hard drives.
Until then, I hope you can follow along our daily conundrums & the moments that make up our life.
And if our life gets boring, we snap a lot of photos of the shop, anyway.
Are the blankets in your shop? They look hand made. Beautiful color.
Glad you are home from the big city. Keep the photos coming. It is fun to catch a glimpse of what is going on in your part of the world.
Hi ,
Don’t bother with the website …it is not up …and the one I paid for which is up is so totally wrong … oh well, I have made bigger mistakes before :)(
Anyway … My daughter told me about Annie paint today …so I did a search and found you …Love your blog even though I have not really gotten into this too much …but my health is taking me away from my career so I have gotten into redoing old pieces I found … I would be totally embarrassed to ever show you so far ! And the blunders were enough to make me quit … but then what else can I do ?? Ha …I am really trying to make a go of selling them and now am in a consignment shop… if you know of a better way …please share …
Okay …back to my reason for writing … I really like you …and your blog is so personal that I feel like I know you … my daughter would love you too if she has not already found you 🙂
Can you see why I no longer have a career – I cannot stay focused ..ug ..
I want to order the paint …have a desk , and an old farmhouse type table to do and am so excited to try … what is the worst that can happen ??
I have seen many other places to order from …but I pick you !! I think that the way you have shared your life and talents with us ….and training through video that you should be blessed with my purchase ( however small it would be )
Can you make a suggestion to start with .. .I know I need the paint, wax …but do I need the other special things to do this ?
and how much paint would cover a table or a desk and chair … since i notice you have different sizes …
I have rambled enough for now …thanks again ~
Marie ( or …just call me rose )
oh oh oh …. I KNEW there was another reason for me to write !! How disappointed I was to see that this thing you went to was in New Orleans …if only I had started this some time sooner ! I am only about 3 hours away from N.O. … maybe next time : )
