Monday Musings – Dogs, Vignettes, and God

May 22, 2017 by Patti 25 Comments

Summer came in earnest on Saturday with the first REAL humidity of the year.  The kind that leaves even heat lovers like us seeking air conditioned spaces.  Then in the night came thunder, and lightening, and a real downpour that my yard gladly drank in.

Spring is my favorite time of year in the South.  The yards are so green and different varieties of flowers are blooming daily.

May seems to be the month for magnolias and gardenias. 

I’m musing today on the complexity of doggie relationships . . .

. . . as I consider why this perfectly behaved ten-year-old dog of ours would suddenly begin leaving nasty little messes in the house.

Oh I know it has something to do with the new puppy entering her world, but I’d like to get in her head and understand her WHY?

Because maybe if we knew the WHY we would know the answer to the problem.

In the meantime, she received a good scolding this morning and I do believe she is smart enough to think twice before trying something so foolish again, especially on the oriental carpet 🙁

I’m musing as well today on why my funny seems to have left me of late.

Hubby and I discussed it a bit this weekend and I came to the conclusion that my funny feeds off of other funny people and I haven’t been around enough of those types lately.

I know, a lot of people say that Mr. OTN is funny.  But he’s funny in a different kinda’ way.  Like the smart guy who acts goofy kinda’ way.

Right now I just might be hoping hubby doesn’t read this post. Click To Tweet

It’s all good honey.  It’s like Disney’s Goofy.  You like him, right?

My kind of funny is more like this: 

At times I'm shocked at the brilliance of my words. Then I try to get out of the car with my seat belt on. Click To Tweet

I think I need time with some of my quick witted friends to get my funny back.  Soon gals, soon. 🙂

Today I’m also musing on the message we heard in church yesterday about how we can be certain to know God’s will when we don’t allow ourselves to be conformed to the world’s views, but are instead, transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:1-2).

  We renew our minds when we spend time in God’s word and in prayer, getting to know Him, and when we deliberately focus on whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, and on all things good, excellent and worthy of praise (Phil. 4:8).

It is so important to be careful about the things we allow our minds to settle on isn’t it?The more we fill our minds with toxic thoughts, the less room we have for God. Click To Tweet

And the less room we have for God, the less we know His perfect will for us.

I don’t know about you, but I want to know and walk in God’s will for me, because I know it far surpasses anything I could plan for myself.

As a bonus, and to keep you engaged while listening to my musings, here’s a little Spring vignette I created for my kitchen dining nook.

Thanks for stopping by 😉

Modern Glam Living Room

February 28, 2017 by Patti 9 Comments

Spring begins in February in South Carolina.  At least it has this year with record high temperatures, lots of sunny days, and Spring flowers early to bloom.  We can only hope there isn’t a stretch of cold weather in March to ruin our peach crop.

Recently I was contacted by Douglas Elliman’s Florida Real Estate team to share a Style Board highlighting the color of the year, GREENERY.   That was an easy fit for me because I love the color green and the first thing I did after taking down my Winter decor was to start adding touches of it around my home.

I’ll share more pictures of that later, but first I want to share the Style Board I put together highlighting a Modern Glam Living Room in greens, golds, and creams.  It isn’t at all like the style I have in my own home but I find it quite fun to play around with different styles on Polyvore. 

Here it is:

 What do you think of my Modern Glam Living Room?  I think I could move right in  . . . as long as I didn’t have a dog . . . or a husband . . . or red dirt on my own shoes from tramping around the garden.
 

At the end of this post I’ll share the links to the items I posted to my style board.  I don’t make a single penny from any sales on these sites but I thought it would be interesting to show you how much this room would actually cost to put together.  Can you guess what the most expensive item is?  Second most expensive?  You might be surprised!

Anyhoo, here are some photographs of the ways I’ve used Greenery to usher Spring into our den.

I’ve used a lot of boxwood and moss balls because I love the look of green in nature the best.  I also have some new pillow covers that I got from a company called Yapatkwa.  It is a Belgian tapestry store and their pillow covers are heirloom quality.  No, I’m not receiving a commission there either but I like what they have to offer.

Now for the prices and the links to the items in my Hollywood Glam Living Room:

Modern Glam Living Room by patricia-a-krank

Sphere light
$4,009 – popmap.com

Sheep skin rug
$300 – very.co.uk

HiEnd Accents faux fur throw
$100 – jcpenney.com

Inspirational throw pillow
$90 – plaidfox.com

Faux fur throw pillow
$18 – smile.amazon.com

LSA International gold home decor
$29 – amara.com

NDI leaf home decor

Lumbar throw pillow

Green couch

Regency coffee table
$3790 – kathykuohome.com

Safavieh furniture
$218 – overstock.com

Rustic wood furniture
$1263 – kathykuohome.com

Did you guess the most expensive item correctly?  Yikes!  I’m pretty sure I could find a knockoff for a fraction of the price.  My favorite items are the sphere light fixtures . . . but $4009?  I can’t even!
 So now that I’ve had my Greenery up for a couple of weeks I’m itching to pull down the Easter decor and start adding some pastels into the mix.  How is the weather where you are?  Are you decorating for Spring or Easter yet?  Time is flying by!

An Unexpected Gift Outside my Door & Lessons Learned

June 27, 2015 by Patti 23 Comments

“This thing isn’t working out too well,” declared Mr. OTN after being jabbed in the side of the face for the umteenth time by a wayward piece of faux lavender.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with it.  I keep pushing the flowers back in place and they keep getting all messed up,” my answer, as I once again began rearranging the floral arrangement on our front door.

Spring Basket on Front Door 029

I loved THIS Spring Floral Arrangement.  I took pictures of it and blogged about it and lots of other people liked it too!  So what WAS wrong with it?

A couple of times I chalked up the mysteriously mutilated arrangement to inclement weather, high winds and rain . . . but then I would go out to the porch on a perfectly calm Spring day and find it all messed up again.

While fighting the daily battle with the mysteriously out-of-control flower arrangement, different people would stop by for a visit and when they did we would open the door really, REALLY wide so they could get through the opening without having to dodge around the wild branches sticking straight out from the door.  I would apologize, straighten everything up again and invite my friends inside.

You’d think I would’ve suspected something . . . the day I opened the front door and a bird whooshed right past my head into the dining room.  The bird was terrified and I wasn’t feeling too brave either (my first horror movie was The Birds) but after a chase and a scream and a lot of barking by the dogs, I opened the front door wide while we retreated to the back of the house, to wait for the bird to leave.  She did.

You’d think I would’ve suspected something . . . when I went out to clean up the front porch and it was littered with bits of dried leaves and twigs (in the Spring?), as well as a few birdy droppings.

Finally . . . there came the day when a very tall man rang the doorbell.  Hubby and I were expecting him so we went to the front door together and I did my usual thing of opening the door really, really wide so this stranger wouldn’t receive a poke to the eye as he came inside.

He didn’t step over the threshold though.  He pointed his finger at my once pretty floral arrangement (was he about to point out what an unholy mess it was?) and said,

Bird's Nest 1

“Is that a bird’s nest?”

And yes.  It was.  A sweet little bird’s nest built right into my flower arrangement.  Hidden from my too-short-to-see view behind the flowers in front.

Bird's Nest 039

We let it be after that and decided to wait until we were sure that the nest was empty.  I only hoped I hadn’t crushed any eggs in all my pushing and shoving and rearranging of flowers that would never stay in place.

Bird's nest 029

Finally yesterday, when I felt that any baby birds would by now have safely flown the nest, I carefully began removing flowers to reveal this precious little nest (and . . . PHEW . . . no evidence of broken eggs!).  If I was thinking of doing something new and different for my summer door decor those ideas flew right out of my head as I realized that this was the best door arrangement ever!

Bird's nest 027

I tucked couple of flowers back in to fill space around the nest and it was done!  It was enough.  It was and was PERFECT!

If I was a little impressed with my floral arrangement before this one far exceeds my own attempts at beauty.

Bird's Nest 041

Lessons learned:

Sometimes when frustrations come into our lives and we keep trying to “fix it” to no avail, it might be that God is in the midst of building something new.

Sometimes our very best attempts, the things we take pride in, are overshadowed by that which is simple.

Sometimes the best gifts aren’t the showiest or the most expensive, but those that are absolutely free!

Finally. . . don’t be short-sighted (look up, look down, look all around) and don’t miss out on the wonder that surrounds you!

Blessings,

My Secret to Great Looking Arrangements Using Faux Flowers

March 23, 2015 by Patti 28 Comments

I am thifty. Yes I am.  But I also like my Faux Floral Arrangements to look good!  And while I’d love for my home to be filled with fresh flowers all the time, I don’t have the budget to replenish them each week.

Do you want to know My Secret to Creating Great Looking Arrangements Using Faux Flowers?  In this post I’ll share with you the Spring Basket I just put together for my front door.

Spring Basket on Front Door 029

Spring Basket on Front Door 011

Spring Basket on Front Door 006

I started with a door basket made from loosely woven vines and lined it with some sheet moss.

Spring Basket on Front Door 028a

Then I tucked in some really nice looking purple and pink sprigs of faux lavender purchased at Michael’s, and some little sprigs of white flowers from my own stash.  The basket, the moss, and the flowers were, so far, very inexpensive . . . especially with coupons. I only shop Michael’s with coupons and I have the store App loaded onto my iPhone so I never forget my coupon at home.

Spring Basket on Front Door 003

The next addition to my basket, and the crowning glory, were three gorgeous faux tulips.

Spring Basket on Front Door 019

Buying a few realistic flowers to add to the less expensive flowers IS my SECRET to creating a gorgeous arrangement.

Spring Basket on Front Door 004

  Having a few stunningly beautiful flowers tucked into an arrangement really makes it special, as they draw your eye directly to their beauty.  These particular tulips look so real that you want to touch them and, when you do, they even feel real!

Spring Basket on Front Door 020

While realistic looking faux flowers can be expensive, I only needed three for this smallish basket, and they will last for years to come.

Spring Basket on Front Door 017

Last year I got to go to the LA Flower Market (pics HERE).  It is HUGE . . . blocks and blocks . . . and the prices are unbelievably LOW (unless you include the airfare to LA).  My local source for faux flowers is Twigs, in Greenville, SC.  Their single stem flowers, swags (like my kitchen swag HERE), and pre-made arrangements are fantastic.  I like to go there just to walk around and soak in the beauty!

So were my beautiful tulips a little expensive?  Yes.  But since I’ll have them for years to come they were, in the end, a very thrifty find. If you liked this post please don’t forget to Pin It!

Now, do you know what would make my door pop even more?  Color!  Yes, I’ve been pinning pretty doors to my Exterior Door Colors Pinterest board for awhile now, so watch for some changes coming up soon!

Spring Basket on Front Door 007

Happy Spring y’all!

Decorating With Preserved Boxwood

February 26, 2015 by Patti 17 Comments

Decorating With Preserved Boxwood.

Tweet

A long cardboard box on the front porch, the zip of the box cutter, rose tissue paper crunching under anxious fingers as it’s pulled away from lush green branches, and awww . . . inhale the sweet scent of boxwood.

Living Room AND Boxwood Wreath 002

These are the little things that make me happy.

Living Room AND Boxwood Wreath 004

I don’t have boxwood bushes in my yard and the cost of buying preserved boxwood wreaths and topiaries can be quite high.  But I have found a great source for preserved boxwood in bulk and it is very reasonable considering how much comes in one box (4.4 pounds is a LOT of boxwood) and how long it lasts.  I’ve had my miniature boxwood wreaths for 1-1/2 years now and they still look like they are fresh cut greens.

Living Room AND Boxwood Wreath 005

Bella Marie is my source for preserved boxwood and I’ve never been disappointed with their product or their service (this is not a paid post by the way).

Living Room AND Boxwood Wreath 008

I like touches of green around my house year round and since I’m not great with houseplants over the long haul (I kill them) (not on purpose) (I love them but they don’t love me), this is a wonderful option for me.  Let me show you some of the different ways I decorate my home with preserved boxwood.  I created this wreath with added wired silver balls for embellishment.  I like the extra touch of color it adds to my display of blue plates in the kitchen.

Living Room AND Boxwood Wreath 012

Here I added a little green to a bouquet of roses purchased at the Charleston Farmer’s Market.  They were handmade by Miz Laura, a Gullah craftsperson we met there.

 

Living Room AND Boxwood Wreath 013

This is a topiary I created with preserved boxwood (Tutorial HERE).

Some winter decor and our living room 018

This large wreath was simple to make with a recycled grapevine wreath that was once adorned with brightly colored silk flowers.

As you may have noticed in some of my previous posts, I enjoy using touches of boxwood all over my house.

Christmas 2014 041

I have several small wreaths that I’ve used in various places.

Christmas 2014 036

Christmas 2014 021

I also like to use sprigs of boxwood here and there, even more so during the holidays.

Christmas 2014 035

Christmas 2014 093

Christmas 2014 051

I decorate with boxwood year round to add a fresh look of the outdoors to the inside of my home.

 Kitchen Swag 024

Boxwood Decor 003

Boxwood Decor 002

I’m so happy I bought boxwood in bulk.  Even with all the things I’ve made, my box from Bella Marie still has quite a bit of boxwood left to work with, and I have a lot more ideas running around in my head.  Maybe even some gifts for my friends (wink, wink).

Speaking of gifts (what an amazing segway that was) Farragoz (the online painting course featured on my sidebar) has a SPECIAL OFFER just for my readers, now through the end of March. The course, which is usually priced at $150 will be $99 for this limited time.  I wish you ALL could’ve won the contest I hosted but this is the next best thing!
