Random thoughts on a potentially amazing yard saling Saturday morning:
1. There are so many yard sale signs in our neighborhood. My pockets are full of optimism and $10 bills.
Here’s hoping.
I’ll keep you posted.
2. My favorite skin care, Colleen Rothschild, is having a giant site-wide sale for 25% off everything for the next two days. It’s a splurge for me (but so worth it) so I’m always on the lookout for sales like this.
2. Has anyone tried cotton candy grapes? I love a fruit that tastes better than candy.
3. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about
- how to organize a desk drawer
- my best tips for a flawless self tan
- how to add architectural detail to a builder grade home
4. I just realized that football season is four weeks away. My heart is already beating faster. We already have tickets to the Baylor games.
5. Have you heard the joke about the broken pencil?
Never mind.
It doesn’t have a point. 🙂
And now?
Let’s see all the amazing things I found for us this week.
You know how much I love painted concrete.
And I gasped when I saw this picture because it’s so beautiful.
You can see the before and after here.
Topiaries.
I love them so much.
They just add a little happy to any room.
Here’s how to take care of them so they last.
Look at this bee hive cake.
Isn’t it the cutest?
Here’s an entire post full of bee-themed ideas.
This is the prettiest summer table.
The theme? Peaches.

I've beenking to maybe paint my front porch which is concrete. If I do I think I will paint it to look like wood planks....
I love that pants set...so glad these matching tops and bottoms seem to be coming back in because they are so flattering...but I'm wondering how long the pants are. If they had to be hemmed, it would ruin the look.
If you aren't taking off more than 2-3 inches, you can hem them on the sewing machine right above the white line rather than take up the bottom as is usually done. You hide the seam along the top of the white trim. There are many pins on Pinterest and YouTube videos on how to hem jeans to keep the bottom edge. It's the same as what you'd do with these.
Just a thank you, for putting a smile on my face, this beautiful Saturday morning 🥰
Wonderful ideas! I love Coco from The Crowned Goat- beautiful flowers!! I can't wait for football either:) War Eagle!
I got sucked into the ourfifthhouse.com site--I like the checkerboard floor, but did you check out the reading spot for her daughter? Gorgeous! The vintage living room ideas were also so, so pretty.
I had to come in, it's just too hot and even shade didn't help. You always have me seeing a lot of beautiful ideas, thank you so much. I am looking forward to football.
Did you hear Apple headquarters was closed due to heat? They don’t have windows. Just thought I’d add to the ‘mom’ jokes. 😋
Happy Saturday. Hope you used all your $10 bills. Thanks for sharing so much inspiration.
I love the movies from books section. I am always looking for a good book and yes dream of being a book blogger or bet yet own a bookstore. Thank you for always sharing your joys in life especially books! Hugs from Kentucky! Blessed to be in high 80s after heatwave last week. We also got rain. Showers of blessings those raindrops were and you too sweet pea.
Hi KariAnne- I love all the links regarding interior design. Jean Stoffer is amazing. And link for items that make your interiors dated is also interesting. Thank you also for sharing CoCo’s post on creating a floral display. Wishing you a fabulous week!
Another bad joke.. What do you call a boosting that won't come back???? A stick.
Auto correct is getting on my LAST nerve!! That is supposed to be a boomerang that won't come back.
Thanks so much for sharing my Bee Themed table and other decor! You're the sweetest! Love you bunches!!
Thank you so much for including my house plant hacks post. So appreciated! LOVE THIS POST! xoxo
So many fun links to dive into again this week! Thanks so much for including my simple floral display ideas, I really appreciate it. I love Colleen Rothschild products. They've completely changed my skin and are totally worth the investment! Hope your week is a fun one, CoCo
