Winter favorites

This week I've been sharing a few of my favorite things over on facebook, so here's the re-cap plus my favorite things on Amazon right now.

With spring just around the corner, I'm loving all the floral inspiration via Pinterest.
And while I don't ever want chocolate on Valentine's Day,  Olive and Sinclair is my everyday choice. It's all natural & handmade right here in Nashville.

I haven't talked much about my journey using essential oils & I do want to share in depth all about my experience because this collection has honestly been a lifesaver for my emotional postpartum health.
Like game changing. I literally feel like a new person mentally, emotionally & physically when I consistently use them!

And finally; A few of my favorite lovely home essentials via amazon for your weekend shopping, like my everday wrapping supplies, kraft paper, twine & ribbon.
Below you'll find direct links to each item, including my current throw blanket, floral vases, and salad utensils.  Happy Fri-yay!

{fabric wrapped hangers} D.I.Y.

September barn sales are right around the corner, and I'm gearing up for my semi-annual events at
The Strawberry Patch and The Hayloft.
I'm routinely asked about my fabric hangers, so today I wanted to show how truly simple they are to create!

  

With a handful of lovely fabrics and inexpensive plain jane hangers, you can create a perfectly, colorful

 "pretty-fied" {yes, that is a word!}happy space in your closet!

 

All you need for this D.I.Y. is plastic hangers, scraps of fabric / lace, and a hot glue gun.

First, cut your fabric into approximate 1" strips 

{this doesn't need to be perfect, you just don't want your pieces too thick, as they wrap easier when thin}

Next, apply the hot glue directly to the hanger, beginning at the top curve.

{I like to use multiple, short scraps around the top area, then longer strands at the bottom area.}

Continue applying hot glue, wrapping the hanger in small increments. Rinse and repeat!

If you're anywhere in the Nashville area, The Strawberry Patch and The Hayloft are not to be missed!

Especially in the fall! A weekend of barn sale shopping in the crisp, cool air is good for the soul!

 I'm definitely loving our laid back summer, but equally looking forward to the changing of the seasons.

I'm so glad spring is here, aren't you?! I'm home after being away at Teach them Diligently.
I'm exhausted.

I don't know what you're experience has been with a home school convention, but personally, there is abundantly more material than I can take in.

I listened to a handful of encouraging speakers, bought a few fossils, pondered science curriculum and walked endlessly. My overwhelmed, introverted mind just needs to decompress!

Saturday evening, as I pulled into the driveway, my amazing husband was working in the garage,
                         Finishing the barn door I've been dreaming of for our new pantry addition!

We moved into our new builder style home five years ago, and while our home has been maintenance free, we wanted to add a few additional, functional spaces. This space is downstairs near our kitchen / dining area and originally was a small coat closet. Now it's a beautiful pantry, with floor to ceiling wrap shelving.

The door coordinates perfectly with this gorgeous light fixture hanging above our kitchen table, which Ben also made! I love it so, so much!!

I absolutely love all things farmhouse with a mix of industrial/vintage texture,
