La Grace du Ciel

My favorite Cajun, Kora Bruce, sent me a link to a song on YouTube yesterday, and it was so beautiful, I knew I had to share!

 

Isn't that amazing!? It's Amazing Grace sung in Cajun! 

I hope all of you have a wonderful Wednesday! And be sure to head over to Stand Up Ate to hear all about my secret addiction! 

Simply Lovely

I love anything and everything romantic, and elopements are at the top of the list. B and I somewhat eloped, and while I love a beautiful wedding, I wouldn't change our wedding day for anything! So, when I saw this video over at Nicole's place (originally seen here), I just had to share. It's absolutely lovely.


Don't you love it!? Have a good Wednesday, my darlings!

J'Adore Decor

I've had this insane itch lately to redecorate our house. As in, every room in our house. So, I've been scouring design blogs like crazy. 

Side note, I'm so sick of that stupid chevron pattern. Sorry, I'm not sorry. If you like it, more power to ya. Moving on...

Anyway, over the weekend I found myself sitting at my computer searching for inspiration. And, oh man, did I find it. I clicked over to Glitter Guide, and somehow stumbled onto an article about Nicolette Mason, who has so much style! Not only is she amazing, she's got insanely good taste in clothes, and even better taste in home decor! (And she's pretty much living my dream life!) The girl has got an awesome place. Awwwwwesoooome. Wanna see?

Pretty Paper

If you know anything about me, you know I love pretty things. Clothing, artwork, decor, stationary, if it's pretty, I adore it. I fall completely head over heels in love with it. I obsess about it, really. So, when I stumbled on Minted, I was in heaven. How have I never heard of them!? 

Friday Lovelies

Y'all, Friday is trying to kill me. Or just irritate me to the point of tears. Same difference.

I have been so swamped this week, and I expected to get a break today, since most of our Fridays at work are slow, but that's not the case today. So, I'm blogging on my (very late) lunch break.

We've been working away on our Summer Bucket List, and I was going to share some photos today, but the Friday curse struck again, and my photos aren't uploading to the computer for some reason.

Whomp, whomp.

So, instead, I figured I'd share a some lovely things I've found (or wanted!) lately, how's that?

I've been wanting new bedding for the longest time now, and One Kings Lane is having a fantastic bedding sale right now!! I will take one to two of each of the following please.

Hello, gorgeous, where have you been all of my life?

I'll take this in a king size, please and thank you.

One of these for the end of the bed.

I don't know why, but I think these are just so lovely.

Please email me for my address after you've purchased them. My anniversary is in a 9 days, so I'd get busy on that! Y'all are going to buy me these things, right??

I came across a tutorial for making a tshirt into a cardigan over at Brassy Apple, and now I need to learn to sew. Can one of you teach me?

Adorable, right? Kaysi from Keeping It Simple made it. Girl's got skills.

*****

Kimmie from Sugar and Dots made over her kitchen and dining room.

And I'm in love. I wonder if I could pay her to come make mine over?

And last, but certainly not least: my favorite lovely of the week!! I've got the button for the link up that Amanda and I are hosting next week!!

Texas Tuesday, y'all!!

Are you linking up? It's not just for Texans, but it does need to be Texas related. We're so excited to start this with y'all! The link up will be open early Tuesday morning, and we'll keep it open at least until Wednesday to make sure everyone has the chance to link up! Write your post, grab the button, and come back here (or Amanda's blog!) to link up. Remember, you can write about anything Texas related. Music, food, fashion, places, events, anything your heart desires! I can't wait to read everyone's posts!!

OK, my lovelies, I've got to get back to actually doing work. Have a fantastic weekend! 

 X's and O's

Cruising

I've probably made it clear before that I don't care too much for my tiny town. But, I will say that we have some adorable neighborhoods, and a few nice people. Plus, the gorgeous weather we're having right now is pretty much rocking my face off.

So, when I saw an adorable bike at our local Walmart (classy, huh!?), I started thinking how fun it would be to start riding a bike around our town. With M in tow in a bike stroller, obviously.

Now I can't stop drooling over adorable bikes and daydreaming about all of the fun we would have riding the streets of our sleepy little town.

Seriously, who could have a bad day while cycling around on these beauties?

{This is my favorite}

{But this is a close second}

{How about one with an adorable teeny basket?}

{Isn't this just perfect to ride to the farmer's market?

{Or how about cruising around town with your love?}

{the beauty is in the street}

Do you have a bicycle? What's the best type to get? Any advice on bike strollers?
