Day 6

(day 1 starts here)

Are you ready for a break from the heaviness of my past few posts? I know I am!

I ended yesterday’s post talking about stones, and how God wants to use the stones that have been thrown at us to build a strong foundation for the future. Over the years God has turned the core of my pain into the core of my purpose, and that has made me grateful (I’m thankful for all things eventually) for any stones once thrown my way.

Hey there my peeps 😉

As you know, I’ve not been writing here as often lately but I promise you that I am writing and I am working on something that I’ll soon share at Old Things New. Today I’d like to give you a heads up on a few things that are in the works, but first, here’s a peek at my Fall decor.

Where do I even begin to tell you everything I have to tell you about life over the past couple of months?

In fact, it sold over Thanksgiving weekend but our Realtor, wanting to err on the side of caution, suggested that I not make any announcements until the final papers were signed. THEN, we held off the closing until January – so of course I haven’t shared the news until now.

But wait, this is March. Yes it is, and I’ve been doing a ton of things I’m bursting to tell you about, but this post is going to give you a only glimpse of what’s been happening here, because I have far more important news to share today.

When Your Stager Nixes Christmas – Home Tour

December 5, 2017 by Patti 18 Comments

No holiday decorations allowed!

These were the exact words of our stager as we began the process of de-cluttering our house to put on the market.

So while Thanksgiving banners waved gaily on our street, our house had nary a wreath upon her door. And when neighboring halls began their be-decking, our house stood naked of outward adornment. Naked yes, but confident in her own Southern charm to bring a quick sale.
