He Leadeth Me

I have a friend from our church, Tonya, who is both a contributing author and photographer for Cottage Magazine . This year the magazine, published a cookbook as seen above. The link above will also take you to information about the cookbook. Tonya has a beautiful section that you might want to check out on pages 220-235. What makes that very exciting to me is that she used various pieces of my home decor for some of the photo shoots.  If you have a chance to browse the book, see if you can figure out which photos have items belonging to me and which photos have items belonging to my friend Jeanette. Tonya spent the day at my house recently shooting a possible spread on my Grandchildren's Room . I'll keep you posted on when and if that will be featured in Cottage Magazine .

WARNING: This post is long and photo intensive! Have you ever heard the term "brand loyal"? One of the brands I am loyal to is Sherwin Williams Paint. It could be because my brother has worked for them for over 30 years; it could be because they have the best paint; or it could be both. I found the perfect colors for the grandchildren room at another store..... and when I took the chips to Sherwin Williams, they were able to match them for me. I then bought 12 Spice Racks from IKEA. I should say, my sweet husband stopped by IKEA on the way home from Denver's Airport and bought them for me. These IKEA spice racks turned book racks have been all over blogland and they were out when we tried to buy them several other times. This is what they look like hanging on the wall with the beautiful primary color paint on them. The top book rack is being used for my grandmother's vintage teddy bears. The first time Caleb was here after the bears were displayed, he took them ou...
