Two {Exciting} Updates...


I have such wonderful and exciting news! I was one of the "Autumn Decor" finalists for the talent scouting party for Cottages and Bungalows magazine {here}! I was so incredibly excited and surprised to see my blog on WhisperWood Cottage's list of finalists on Wednesday and I just wanted to share.
I have to admit, I teared up a little. I feel a little inadequate a lot of the time since my blog is so new, but I feel so grateful just to be on this list. It made my week!

 
Another exciting thing is that the lovely, sweet, kind, uplifting, and supportive Brenda from Cozy Little House did a whole feature on my home and projects {here}! I was so honored by her lovely post and by all of the kind and supportive comments from her friends.
I wanted to share all of this excitement with you earlier, but I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all week in preparation for Ella's birthday party.

Thank you, to all my friends and blog friends alike for the kindness and warmth you have sent my way. Your support truly means a lot to me.
