Random thoughts on a sunny Saturday morning:
1. We are heading to the airport to pick up Whitney. She and the entire team are coming home from Africa and I can’t wait to hear all the stories.
2. I tried a middle part yesterday.
Apparently, middle parts are the thing. I do think it will take a lot of getting used to.
3. It was a great week on the blog. We discussed:
4. The two couches from the family room went to Waco yesterday to the twins’ new apartments. We are getting new couches and the room is getting a makeover. I can’t wait to share it with you.
5. My nails and toes are both summer red.
Now they match my lipstick. 🙂

How wonderful that your dear Whitney comes home today! I think (deep sigh) that I will always be a side part gal. Thank you for sharing Barbie's Dreamworld.
Great reads. So glad your daughter is coming home. Looking at your finds this week I noticed the pillow. I have almost the exact pillows in my livingroom. Enjoy your weekend.
How in the world did you loose 105 pounds? This is Janet Hoffman, I went to your home last year when Leslie had her book signing and have following you since! I know you had lost weight BUT THAT MUCH!!!! Are there old blogs depicting your journey? Congratulations!!!
GREAT thistles, KA! I loved the Scandinavian little cottages - a couple of the interior shots were just wonderful. I have decided I know need a steam cleaning unit for my window tracts. And by far the best thistle this week was Laura's visit to the Barbie Village! Oh my gosh, she is something else, is she not? What a fun thing. Can't WAIT for the nostalgic movie to come out. My daughters and I are anxiously awaiting seeing it! Have a great remainder of your week.
Well you shared two of my favorite blogs - Miss Mustard Seed and The Crowned Goat. They never disappoint. I want to make lavender lemon soap - so intrigued by that! Can't wait to see your room makeover- its going to be fabulous. No doubt, its nice to have Whitney home from Africa. Have a spectacular week!
So happy to have her home!
I adore the summer cottages!!! xoxo
Oh my gosh, how much fun does Laura look like she's having at the Barbie party! I saw the movie and it was fantastic but going to the dream house is a completely different level and I am so excited for her! Love that you try new hair parts and play with makeup and accessories too. It's such a quick and easy way to lift your spirits. Thank you for sharing my simple ways to age books, I really appreciate it. You're always so supportive to fellow creatives and it means the world to us. Sending you lots of hugs and thank yous, CoCo
