August in Review & HGTV Ahead!

August 30, 2016 by Patti 19 Comments

HGTV Tiny House Hunters Red Carpet Premiere Party!

Tiny House Hunters LogoLooking back through pictures I’ve taken during the month of August I thought it would be fun to do a “Looking Back” post highlighting some of my favorite things, and also give you a “tiny” peek at what’s ahead.

First the peek ahead because . . . EEEK . . . I can hardly contain myself!  Back in May I posted on my Facebook page that I had the opportunity to assist in decorating one of HGTV’s Tiny House Hunters tiny houses (whew that’s a mouthful) alongside some dear friends of mine.  After that initial news we were required to keep all hush-hush about our awesome, crazy, fun experience.  This Saturday night, those of us who were the decorators for this Piecrust Productions, Tiny House episode will be getting a sneak peak of the show at our own Outdoor Premiere Party!

I’ll keep you updated as to the date it will air on TV so stay tuned!

On now to the looking back part and sharing some things I’ve done, some things others have done (that I LOVE), and a few family photos.

Mary Nett's Centerpiece2This is my Favorite New Instagram feed to follow and one of her amazing centerpieces! – Mary Nett @wren_willow

Gardenia RebloomThe Gardenia bushes in my yard had a second bloom – Heavenly!

Queen Bee CrownThis cutest ever Frenchy Crown from the Queen Bee Art Cottage came across my feed as a memory on Facebook this month.

Gus the pheasantGus the Pheasant – My daughter Joy’s new friend whom she met at The National Aviary in Pittsburgh last weekend.

New Pink ChairA New Pink Chair for my desk area – Hubby’s choice!

Chic Shabby and FrenchA new favorite Facebook friend to follow – Chic Shabby and French – Her daily feed is stunning!

Patti & Bethany 001My beloved daughter Bethany’s 30th Birthday!

That’s my August in pictures my friends.

Love, hugs, and many blessings to you all,

      My daughter does look young for her age, I know, and I’ll pass that compliment on to her 🙂 Yes, isn’t Linda’s site amazing? She posts inspiring photos on a daily basis too. Thanks for commenting Kellis.

    I’m excited about the Tiny House Hunters! Congrats! I love to watch all they can fit in one of those houses! But I would NEVER do it! I am always sketching up plans to add on to what we have…hahahaha

      I agree Robin, I could never live in a tiny house. Where would I put all of the things I keep creating? They look so much tinier in person than they do on TV too.

      Thanks Carol. We really didn’t do much because there wasn’t room to put much! It was a fun experience though and I can’t wait to share the behind-the-scenes.

      Yes, we have had some very busy months this Summer but it has been fun. Maybe the Fall will slow down a little? Ha! It truly was an honor to be asked to help decorate the Tiny House and it was simply being in the right place at the right time. It will be fun to share the behind-the-scenes pictures since the flash of decorating seen at the end is too quick to take in.
      Have a wonderful September Pat. The weather is perfection here in SC and it’s nice to feel the chill in the air in the mornings again.
      Blessings to you my friend!

    Love, love, love this – I love everything about this post…. I wish I could join y’all for the red carpet event, but I will be looking forward to watching my now famous friends on HGTV when it finally airs later (maybe this fall??) Definetly keep us posted and thanks for the tips of who to follow – love those pictures you took, and can’t wait to come visit again and sit/sleep on the covered porch – my all time favorite place to sit and visit with you….. Oh and I LOVE the pink chair!

      Thanks Deb! It was fun to look back on the month. So much so that I may have to make this a regular monthly THANG! I wish you could’ve been with us on Saturday night too. We were a little over-the-top crazy but that’s what made it fun. No boring parties for the Hoyt/Krank team!!! As for the porch? Oh my goodness, we went out on the boat after church yesterday and afterwards went out to read on the porch – each of us on our own daybed – and crashed until bedtime! I can’t wait for you to come read with me! Book that ticket!

      Thank you Julie. Though we had the Premiere showing on Saturday night we aren’t allowed to share the link until the show airs on television. I will be sharing the date of the showing when we have it as well as a link to the show and a LOT more photos than you will see on TV! It is really just a 30 second segment at the very end.

I can’t wait to join her and other friends and family to participate.
