Random thoughts on an Easter weekend Saturday:
1. If you’ve ever wondered if you should move to Texas? You should SEE our yard sales.
Y’all.
I found THE CUTEST lamp for the new office. It looks like something right out of a Brady Bunch episode.
2. I wore a high pony last week. It was amazing. If you aren’t already, you need to add a high pony to your hair rotation. I used this hair texturizing powder to make it stay up and it was so easy to just put the hair in a ponytail and go.
3. Are you watching Sanditon on Masterpiece? I think this is the last season. It’s SO GOOD. If you haven’t started it yet go back to Season 1 and start there so it all makes sense.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about:
- how a call from a pay phone changed my life
- the one thing you need for your spring mantel
- how to paint furniture without brush marks
- should you paint antique furniture
5. A mama bird built a nest in the wreath on our front door. She laid six eggs and they just hatched and I’ve watched her feeding her chicks.
Spring is here.
And now?
Let’s see all the awesome stuff I found for us this week.

Full of things to read Easter Morning. Thank you. I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend no matter where you are who its shared with. ❤ 🐰 🌼 🌻
That was one of the more fun design style quizzes I've ever taken. Apparently I'm "vintage salon". This week's lineup was especially fun. I always loved the Little Women house from the 1994 movie. KariAnne, I think you are itching to travel somewhere ....
Good morning KariAnne and happy Easter weekend. I took the design style quiz and I am "pottery studio" who knew :) I'm pleasantly surprised by it and I do agree with tranquil and comfortable along with the sunbleached tones. Next I'm going to try and make the homemade ranch, Yum.
Some how I missed the design quiz. Can someone forward it or post it again. Thanks
Went to take style test and their was not really anything that I liked or appealed to me! The rugs were horrible. Now... if you had made a style quiz...... 😘😉 Have a funtastic Easter Sunday Big Hugs
This was nice, I needed to sit and rest after being outside in my flower beds. I enjoyed all, even though I was suppose to rest 30 min. it took a little longer. It was a fun time well spent.
AWESOME thistles this week, KA!! I loved Courtney's iphone pic taking helpful hints. And that kitchen tour? Oh my word love love love that kitchen!!!! Have a blessed weekend. ♥
LOVED the post!!!
Thanks so much for sharing my Lemon Strawberry Trifle Dessert! Love you sweet friend!
Loved seeing Julia's kitchen!! xoxo
Someone needs to do a tutorial on how to take great pics with an Android phone. I don't have/use an iPhone.
I am a little late reading your Thistlekeeping post - but wanted to say I love the piece you shared on Cultivating Courage. It is definitely something we all need to embrace, particularly as we get older. Thanks for sharing so many beautiful and inspiring things.
