American Beauty

This "little beauty" is one of my most prized possessions. It is an American Beauty quilt that my mom made for me for Christmas the year before last. Believe it or not, these are the colors I have in my home. I know you are SHOCKED! Most people think that I only decorate in PINK and GREEN and everything BRIGHT. Not true. You see I live "vicariously" through my store and pattern company! My husband likes dark colors and dark woodwork, so that's what we have at home. However, our bedroom is red toile. You're probably thinking; "ok, that's more information than I need to know"! In case you don't already know this about me, I LOVE toile prints of every color and pattern. It's sort of like lipgloss, you can't have too much of it!

You may recognize this pretty pink and white Amarylis, my oldest daughter Olivia gave it to me for Christmas. It was my first attempt at growing one and I have to say, it was extremely rewarding. And it came at the perfect time when it was cold and wintry outside.

Here is a closer look at the little sign. I found this on a recent shopping trip in Shipshewana, IN and bought it for my husband's birthday. He loved it.

Hope your week was a good one. I had one of those days yesterday, that changes your life and your families life forever. Don't mean to be mysterious, just need a little time before I can write about it. Please keep my family in your prayers.

SO TRUE! God Bless everyone!
