It's not goodbye, it's see you in a little while.

Sometimes, you just have to admit 

you can't do it all.

Time Flies When You're Not Paying Attention...

This is the beginning of a very busy season for me.

Three boys.

Three football players.

End of August Auction

Tuesday afternoon, Scott called and gave me a head's up 

that there was auction scheduled for that evening.

Inwardly, I groaned.

...First day of school.

Little Red Desk {Before & After}

Yesterday, I mentioned the color theme for the month of August at The Changing Season is red.

Now, most of you know that red isn't really my thing.

The Mamie Dresser {Before & After}

Like most of my items, 

I found a nice little solid oak dresser 

a few weeks ago at an auction.

Patina Frills

Every so often you see something that catches your eye.

You like it.

You want it.

And then you think, I could make that myself.

I did that on Saturday.

Simple Oak Rocking Chair {Before & After}

I love me 
a good rocking chair.

Just something about them makes me think of wide front porches, humid summer evenings, lemonade, and a screen door slamming.

Be. Inspired.

One of my favorite bloggers, Shari from Turnstyle Vogue 

always signs off each of her posts with:  

Be Inspired.

I love it.

The Book Table {A Before & After}

It's not often that I buck the "Furniture Nazi", 

but this time, I think I'm gonna have to do it.

I love this table.

1930's Waterfall Dresser (Before & After)

Scott cringed when I won this at an auction last month.

He couldn't see past what is to what can be.

Luckily, I did.

Okay...

Honestly?

I didn't either, but the price was right so I bid.

10 Easy Steps to A Freezer Paper Transfer {Tutorial}

I wish I could take credit for this ingenious idea.

But, I can't.

NOPE.

Grain Sack Love

Buckets of Burlap

Grain sacks...

Not just for grain and feed and livestock anymore.

Who doesn't love these versatile relics from ages past?

And who can boast that they once had a room in their home used solely for storing grain and the sacks it came in?

Uh...

That would be me.

The Sweetest Guest Post EVER: Shannon @ Fox Hollow Cottage

I have a confession.

When Shannon sent me her blog post, I didn't look at it.

Nope.

Didn't.

I've been busy getting things ready for 

The Changing Season.

So, I didn't see it...

Until this morning.

And daggone it!

She made me cry!

Again.

(She does that a lot with her sweetness.)

So, while I'm going to find a tissue to blow my nose,

please read Shannon's guest post today.
