tee-ball time // our sweet dog, Raleigh // drinking out of the hose and swimming in our new (little, but perfect for us) pool//

dressing up like a cowboy, complete with a lasso (not a noose!  ha!) // hydrangeas from our sweet neighbor // ice cream from the ice cream man

 

I’m working on some projects that I hope to post about soon…but meanwhile, we’re busy enjoying our summer!  How is your summer going?

luckett’s and miss mustard seed…

 

While on our vacation in Virginia, my mom and I carved out some time to visit one of my favorite stores…Luckett’s!  The weather was beautiful and the rooms were loaded with great treasures.

We stumbled upon a stack of mantels leaning against a tree…

 

chippy painted doors

Chippy, painted doors everywhere…

lucketts vintage couch

I loved this “vintage” couch sitting out under a beautiful tree…

lucketts birdslucketts design house

The Design House was decorated in beautiful shades of cream and white, with ruffles abounding…

lucketts store

And this was all before we went into the actual “store”…

card catalog

I loved this giant metal file cabinet/library card catalog…but the thing that I was most looking forward to seeing was the booth of the fabulous Miss Mustard Seed herself!

Check out the beautiful distressed blue paint on this piece of furniture…I wish I had gotten a picture of the whole piece!

miss mustard seed green cabinet

If I could have finagled that amazing green cabinet as a carry-on back to Missouri, I would have bought it on the spot.  I LOVED it!

miss mustard seed glitter letters

 

Miss Mustard Seed’s German glass glitter letters are beautiful, and a great deal at only $2 a letter!

miss mustard seed silver bowl

There’s that distressed blue paint again…love! 

If you’re ever in the Northern Virginia area and want to take a peek at some of the goodness that is Luckett’s, be sure to take a few hours to browse around!

a summer Scripture printable…

 romans 15_13
 

*I shared this printable over at Worthy of the Prize on Monday, but wanted to post it here, too. 
I don’t know about your summer, but ours is CRAZY!  My youth pastor husband will be out of the country for 10 days, at different camps for 2 weeks, and helping to oversee 300 teenagers who will be staying at our church (while I’ll be helping to man the kitchen to feed all of those hungry students).  Whew!  It makes me tired just thinking about it, but it’s going to be great…especially since one of those camps is at the BEACH!  Woohoo!   One of the great things about his job is that Grayson and I get to tag along on most of those adventures.
Anyway, when I came across this verse on Sunday I thought it was a perfect verse to print out for the summer.  Just to remind me that we can be filled with JOY and PEACE so that we can overflow with HOPE.  What a promise we have!
To print this out for yourself, simply right-click on the photo and save it to your computer.  Print it out at home or send it to your favorite photo processing shop!

20 white cottage kitchens...

I will be unpacking and tackling a mountain of laundry for the rest of the day, but wanted to pop in and share that our little kitchen was featured as one of 20 white cottage kitchens over at WhisperWood Cottage.  There are some AMAZING kitchens featured, so I'm totally flattered that ours was included.



Be sure to pop over and check them out!
