Little Lola

 I attempted to take some "one year" shots of Lola the other evening and unfortunately did not get the shot I had in my head (or really even close to what I had envisioned - one year olds are not that easy to photograph) but I did get a few that I played around with. This is one of them, I will post the others next week.

Also, I wanted to let you know that we have restocked the square Elizabeth pillows in both a 20 by 20 size and an 18 by 18 size.

 I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! I will be back tomorrow with another project I did with a 24 by 24 piece of wood. It quite different from the chevron frames I posted about yesterday and the day before and uses hooks, and no pictures or frames.

Our New Elizabeth Pillows

I am so excited to show you some new pillows that we now have for sale in our shop! We have both a large 20 by 20 inch square pillow cover as well as a 12 by 20 inch ruffled pillow cover. And look how lovely they look in Jamie's living room!

 

I hope you all have a blessed Tuesday!

Our New Placemats and Our Joss and Main Curator's Collection

We are so excited to be introducing some new items designed by Jamie. The first thing we are introducing will be these placemat sets which are for sale now. Jamie just made a small quantity of these for this first batch. If they sell we will have another larger batch made. I am completely in love with them and want a set for my dining room.

 

I can't wait to show you a couple more items we will be making with this fabric once they are ready!

I am also excited to tell you all that we partnered with Joss and Main and are hosting one of their curator's collection events. It was so much fun getting to pick out tons and tons of their gorgeous items to put together a collection for them. If you don't already know about Joss and Main I highly recommend heading on over there and signing up! They offer all sorts of designer brands that go on sale at 20-50% off retail, but the deals are only available to members!

If you’re not signed up yet to get the emails announcing all the sales, here is a personal invitation from me* . There is a waitlist for joining Joss & Main, but by joining through this invitation link, you can bypass the waitlist and ensure that you are first in line when our event launches!  It is free, you sign up with your email, and then you’ll have access to all of the designer decor that goes on sale each day.  *Note, I do receive a small referral fee if you sign up and purchase something, (this is true for you too, if you refer members you will also receive a credit for their first purchase). 

Here is a sneak peek at some of the items that will be in our Dear Lillie collection:

I cannot wait for Thursday when the event is live!

Have a wonderful Tuesday! And don't forget to link up to our Easter Party below!

Our Sort-of Entryway and It is Well With My Soul

We don't really have an entry-way in our home. You basically open the front door and are in the living room. When we first moved in though, we tried to use the small wall behind the front door and treated it sort of like an entry-way. It functions fine, but I have some ideas for making it more of a true entry-way space...someday... For now though, we have an old bench that opens up and we can store bags, extra shoes, outdoor chalk for the girls, tennis balls, and all sorts of random things. I'm not a huge fan of how the bench looks but it's practical and until I decide for sure what I want to to here it is fine. On the sign above we always hang a couple of Lillie and Lola's sweaters/jackets that make it easy to grab when we are headed out the door in a hurry and then we keep most of their shoes in the basket next to the bench.

 We also wanted to let you know we have a new "It is well..." pillow cover in our shop:

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! I'll be back next with a new chalkboard print and download.

Our March Mantel, A Move for Dear Lillie, our March Family, and Tomorrow's Big Giveaway

Whew! I have quite a lot of info to fill in this post! It was quite a week. Sorry, for the lack of posting but I got quite sick. I honestly don't remember the last time I was that sick. Fortunately, I am feeling much better and it has been a busy weekend so far. We started spring cleaning - yay! Yesterday we cleaned out the fridge, freezer, pantry and cabinets! And not just the quick cleaning, I mean the empty it all out, scrub it down kind of cleaning. Ahhhh! I love how that feels. Now I am hoping today to attack the upstairs closets. I also started stripping our coffee table and am hoping to get it painted today and then have an armoire that I hope to get to painting tomorrow so if they actually get finished and turn out okay I should have some fun new projects to share later this week. Also, I am hoping to get started on some Easter decorating this week too!

This week will also be busy because we will be moving our main location! As many of you know, we have been having more and more trouble keeping up with inventory and keeping our items in stock. We have been getting help and working as fast as possible but even still just can't seem to keep up with everything because there is just only so much space here to work. We had been talking for a while now about moving up to NH where we have a very large workspace we can use but had been unsure about making such a big move. However, these past few months we started realizing we didn't have a choice if we wanted to grow. Once we realized that, we have become very very excited about the move. It is going to not only allow us to be able to keep up better with the items we already make it should also hopefully allow us to finally expand our production and start making more of the items we had been hoping to but just haven't been able to yet, which we are incredibly excited about. It will make things a little more interesting seeing how I will still be here in VA but seeing how I already take trips up to NH pretty regularly, adding some more trips up there shouldn't be too difficult.  So, at the beginning of this week Jason will be moving all of our inventory up to NH. Our shop will remain open and everything will still process and ship normally. Jason will have some help and the whole move should hopefully take less than 24 hours. The only hiccup will be that we won't be offering any Growth Charts tomorrow. We will have another batch available Friday and after we get settled into our new space we will be able to be making much larger batches so hopefully it won't be so crazy for people trying to get one in their shopping cart!

So, although we won't have a batch available tomorrow, guess what we will be doing? 
 We will be giving one of the growth charts away here on our blog!!!!! 
YAY!!!!!! So be sure to come back tomorrow to enter!

Now back to some decorating. Before I get started on Easter decorating this week, I thought I would show you what our mantel has been looking like lately. The winter months are always kind of hard for me but here is what our mantel has looked like since we took our Christmas stuff down.

Lillie always likes the pink flowers at the grocery store. =) I prefer the white ones but every now and again get the pink ones which she loves!

Also, we wanted to tell you all about our March family. Each month we pick a family or organization and we send a portion of every sale that month to them at the end of the month. This month we are going to be giving a portion of every sale to Darrell and Trish Gilles and their children, whose home was completely destroyed by a tornado last week. They all survived but have suffered some serious injuries so please keep them in your prayers. If anyone would like to help them financially their is an account set up for them at

I hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

Free March Download and More Nest Pillows

Jenni still isn't feeling well and hasn't been at the computer for a couple of days, but she wanted to make sure that I put up the free March download for everyone.

Also, our Nest 14x14 Pillow Covers are back in stock!

I hope you all have a great day!

New Seersucker Pillow Covers

Jenni was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday so she wasn't able to do the post she had planned for this morning, but I figured I would go ahead and announce our new pillow covers--The Reagan Ruffle Pillow Cover in Seersucker.

Est. 2013

Just wanted to pop in this morning with our newest pillow cover. We thought these would make great wedding gifts. I'll be back tonight with the some photos of our dining room.

Have a blessed Thursday!

In Christ Alone Pillows

The girls and I are finally back home. We ended up staying up in NH a little longer than planned because of some Dear Lillie business. I've got lots of projects I plan on starting this week but for now I am just popping in quickly to share our newest pillow cover that is now available in our shop, "In Christ alone my hope is found" in a 20 by 20 size.

We are also introducing our Je T'aime pillow cover in white in the 12 by 20 size for the first time.

And we've also restocked out "Love is..." pillow cover sets:
