Every Day is the Best Day and Valentine’s Pillows

I had been playing around trying to add a quote to the photo above of our hydrangeas on our back porch and couldn’t find anything that seemed right for the new year. Then, I saw this Ralph Waldo Emerson quote on Joan’s blog with a beautiful photo and thought it would be perfect. What a wonderful quote to start 2012 off with! And here are a few more shots of the hydrangeas.

We have been busy working away here. Lillie and I did a little painting project in the kitchen this afternoon and tomorrow I am hoping to get started on two projects to finish off our master bedroom. Actually I am kind of dreading one of them but I know once it is done I will be so glad I did it. And then this weekend I am hoping to pain a large piece of furniture for the tiny little hallway at the top of our stairs. It is one of the few places in our home that I have never really done anything with. I found the perfect piece at a consignment shop yesterday but wanted to come home and measure first to make sure it would fit. It’s going to be a TIGHT squeeze but it should work so I am excited to go back tomorrow and get it. I hope it’s still there! And I have been on the hunt for some chairs to fix up and a storage piece for our entryway. No luck with those yet, though. I really want to have all this done in the next ten days but not so sure that is going to happen. =) 
We are starting to get our Valentine’s inventory ready to sell. We won’t
be doing any clothing this year, but will be offering several home
items over the next few weeks as we finish them up. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! I will be back tomorrow with TWO free downloads!

  1. LOVE that quote and what is so funny is that has become a little private joke in our family. Lately, Kate has been saying everyday, "This is the best day EVER!" She said it all of Christmas break. Ave and I smile at her childhood joy and wonder. I need that quote on a pillow:)

  4. Jennifer, Your hydrangeas are beautiful. Did they come from your garden? Love the quote and Miss Lola with her paint roller! Happy New Year!

  8. I look forward to seeing your projects! I have a ton of projects to do around here, but being 30 wks pregnant with my 3rd is slowing me down =( Guess I'm going to have to get hubs on them instead!

  10. Thanks, everyone!!!

    Gam – Haha I wish I had a garden 🙂

    Laura – Yes! We're adding some to the side of our cabinet… Can't decide yet if I like it or not.

  11. REALly hydrangea in january….wow how wonderful!….maybe this is just a pic from the summer …either way this is delightful & I love your choice of the colour GREEN…Thanks for always inspiring!

  14. The hydrangeas are so pretty, I just love them! I can't wait to see more of your painted project!!! 😉 Looks like Lillie was a huge help!

  16. I want to just bury my face in that white hydrangea! And… Lillie is growing!!! I think she grew since the last photos you took of her! That is a very nice saying too… I will put that in my mind as a thing to think of when a day seems hard…

  17. Vintage Home – I got the hydrangeas at our grocery store right before Christmas and took all of these photos when I photographed the porch for Christmas. I just hadn't had time to finish editing all of the photos until now.

    Jodi – she was quite the little helper! =)
