Moments in the Everyday

A simple gift...from a dear family.

My oldest embrodiering her first sampler!

Another moment in my day,

Dawn

A charming home

A Simple Place....

One full of charm, grace and memories.

Surrounded by books of old and handmade baskets this home makes anyone want to curl up in front of the fire with a hand made knitted blanket at your feet!

A picture hangs above the hearth...one with a story of elegance, and harmony!

                             
                     Inside everyones heart is a home...one where moments are shared and treasured

                      {Thank you Lou & Margaret for letting me capture the beauty of your home!}



Another Moment,

{A new chapter in a love story begins....}

Puddles of sand, burlap scraps, shells from the sea and fresh flowers surrounded my sweet Aunt this past weekend. We had a day to encourage her as she prepares for a ceremony with her love.

 

A ceremony sealed with a ring and tied with God's word.

 

                                       
                                   The menu was very simple....

 

....kind of like a picnic at the beach

 

 

Strawberry Lemonade & White Chocolate cupcakes

 

 

 

{Some of us even made sand castles!}

 

 

 

 

The theme of this day was inspired by two books...one that has touched our hearts with a challenge to keep track of ALL the gifts God has given, and one to remind us of the footsteps in the sand we will take as we make memories in the years to come.

 

Each guest got to take home Ann Voskamps mini booklet. A heart challenge to keep track of 7 ways a day that our spouses {or God} show us they love us. Gifts of love. Ones that will rekindle that love when socks on the floor distract us.

 

My dear Aunt lives a life of joy.

 Her life reflects a heart of gratitude.

In the sorrow or the joy she is learning how to live fully right where she is.

                                                                       
                                                           {We love you sweet Amy!}
