Insta-Friday

Happy Friday!  Who’s excited the weekend is here?  ME ME ME!  I am!  I have some fun plans ahead, and the kids have their first basketball games this weekend as well!  My kids are some of the shortest kids out there, so basketball is always fun to watch.

Before I share my life lately on istagram (cassie8978), I wanted to let you know that I am crashing Angela’s “Things I’m Loving” today at Number Fifty Three.  If you haven’t visited Angela’s blog, you need to!  Her style is perfect and amazing!  Case in point…

Not to mention she lives just up the road from where I grew up, so I love her even more.

Now, here’s a look at my life on instagram lately!

Last Saturday, Emmy and I cleared out her craft closet to make way for her American Girl nook!  Emmy is thrilled.  Sage and Molly have had the same expression on their faces the whole time, so I can’t tell how they feel.  (and don’t worry, all the art supplies went into my aqua vintage lockers that I will one day show you!)

I headed downtown to Silk and Burlap for my mini manicure.  While there, I did a little shopping.  This print was not one of my purchases, but I contemplated it!

And my mini manicure…. please disregard my short nails and look at that pretty gold!

Later that afternoon, we had some freezing rain.  Dangerous, but pretty.  Sort of like Jake Gylenhal.

My friend and Sweet Clover vendor, Traer, gave me this awesome vintage ship wheel mirror for Christmas!  Should I go gold?

I found this piece of art Emmy created….. It suits her spirit beautifully!

We had a delay and I decided to work out at home early in the morning in the playroom/basement. Jake and I were the only ones awake, and he waited for me at the top of the stairs for my entire workout.  He was actually laying down with his head resting on the floor, but when I pulled out the phone for a picture he got up.

Emmy made me this “flower garden” picture.  I like to call it “Garden of the Nudists”.

I shared a peek at the wall I revealed yesterday.

And aside from all the fun, I have been throwing myself back into painting projects!  Here are a couple sneak peeks for you which will be headed to Sweet Clover next week!

That’s all I have for you!  Have a fantastic weekend!

    LOL to garden of the nudists!
    Lilly would love to have a play closet like that for her girls. She is obsessed with AGs. Did you ever take her to the store in NYC. Crazy!
    And yes to the gold ship wheel.

    Hi Cassie! I saw your post on Ibby…it was super cute with the pom poms. I have an article with them too. 🙂 I watched a movie last night and the actress reminded me of you – Boy in the Striped Pajamas – the mom. I don’t know her name. Have you seen that show? Check it out – sad show but the mom seriously looks like you.

Happy Friday!  I am so happy the weekend is here… I am tired!  With daylight savings starting and changing my eating (I started Whole 30 this week), I am tapped out.  Today I have a date with my guest room wall… it’s gonna go to the dark side.  Yeah baby.   Then the rest of the weekend, can you believe I don’t have any major plans!  Just wine with my neighbor and a friend, and flea market!  I am sure I will find some things to get into though.  And maybe we will build a fire and cozy up one night- that sounds lovely!  Charlie loves to sit near the fire. 😉

Anyhow, it’s insta-Friday, so time to share all of my instashennanigrams from the week! (You can find me at cassie8978).

Last week I bought a little red velvet settee from a lady at a storage unit… I  got there and she also had these goodies which I took home!

I did a little Thanksgiving decorating and purchased this teeny little milk bottle from a local shop- how cute!

I started participating in the Joy Filled Home Challenge with Michaela and this image was “something in your home that means the most to you besides the people in it”.  My kids art:

Now that the mornings are a little lighter after setting clocks back, I was able to enjoy this view from my porch at 6:20 am as I headed out for a walk.

And Jake and I have been loving he cool mornings and beautiful surroundings.

I picked up a swanky vintage couch for the barn…. In my small Ford escape.  He he.

I missed my friend, so I hung a wreath she made me so I could think of her.

I used some West Elm dollars to randomly order a clearance shower curtain for upstairs.  You had to spend 75 to get 25 off.  I needed bowls that totaled $50, so clearly, I needed to add on some “fun” items.

I brought the foliage inside…

A little while ago I won a giveaway through Restoration House for an awesome wooden reclaimed arrow from The Charming Farmer.  Well, Meagan from the Charming Farmer happened to be in my neck of the woods and made a personal delivery!  We chatted for a while while Sawyer played and Charlie peed on the floor.  Good times. 😉  She is adorable and funny and sweet!!!!

And here is my AMAZING arrow.  I am still deciding where I want to hang it.

Antlers and hot glue one night…. I made an antler wreath and hung over my bed!

I finished up this table….

I went for another walk and this is always one of my favorite places in the Fall….

Sarah and I worked on setting up an “Earthy Bohemian Christmas” at Sweet Clover’s cottage.  See where that swanky couch went?

Sarah and I often have the same thoughts and finish each other’s sentences.  (You can even read her post about it here).  We also show up matching.  Sisters from another mother.

Because I am doing Whole 30 and eating clean and healthy, I am eating more squash and sweet potatoes than normal.  I was baking my spaghetti squash last night when I heard a crash.  My pyrex pan exploded!  And dinner was ruined. 🙁  And yes, that is the price tag on there, but I wasn’t going to eat the skin!

Chris stopped to pick up a new pan on the way home, and I cleaned the oven.  Now we have a shiny oven and a new pan!  Let the good times roll!  I will laugh in the face of exploded pyrex and eat my squash!

Off to paint…. I hope to have some progress to share next week.  Have a wonderful weekend!  Oh, and you may have noticed I have been pinning my bangs back…. trying to decide if I should recut them or grow them out.  Discuss amongst yourselves and let me know.

    Oh that arrow!?! I love it!!! Cannot wait to see where you put it. & I so wish I lived closer…I would love to see Sweet Clover and hang out on the swanky couch with you and Sarah finishing each other’s sentences! My idea of a good time!!! 😉

    You life is one big happy adventure! … Love that boho sofa and the cool arrow. Beautiful nature shots. Exploding pyrex is kind of scary! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bangs – keep them! … Happy weekend! … And I don’t want to scare you, but I heard on the Today Show that there is a wine shortage coming … better stock up!

    so many things to say cassie… first can i say i am green with envy – i wish the leaves were still on our trees and the snow wasn’t covering the ground! love the set that you picked up – can’t wait to see what you do with it! and finally – that pyrex… before staying home with my littles i was an occupational therapist – i did a turn in hand therapy as a student and learned that pyrex type baking dishes have a life span, and it never seemed to be consistent, that freaked me right out! we saw so many people whose pans exploded while they were transferring them out of the oven! needless to say their hands (and countless other parts) were NOT in good shape after! you got pretty lucky that it exploded in the oven! keep tabs on this new one and how often and how long you use it. if you feel like you’ve had it a while or have used it lot toss it, before you have a problem – we need to keep those hands in furniture painting shape! and there you have it, i may have filled my unsolicited advice quota for the day:)

    What a beautiful place you live in, I’m envious of your walks with Charlie.

    I cut my spaghetti squash in half, clean the seeds out and put it cut side down in a ceramic quiche pan. Add a little water and cover with saran wrap leaving a little venting space. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until soft and let sit for a few minutes. Carefully remove saran wrap as there might be steam build up and then remove squash with a fork. I have also heard of cooking it a second way, but haven’t tried it: http://fishcooking.about.com/od/howtochoosefreshfish/ht/How-To-Cook-Spaghetti-Squash-The-Easy-Way-An-Easier-Safer-Method.htm

    Contact Pyrex about your pan they may send you a new one, happened to me after I set one on a hot burner (oops forgot it was hot!) and they replaced it for me.

    You are brave to start whole 30. I’m the worst at diets. I just get hungry so quickly that if I’m out I make all kinds of poor choices. Also I love that couch.

    I’m w Charlie on cozying up around the fire. I need that arrow in my life…. And I’m on the fence w my bangs too.. I hate the in between stage though… Can’t wait to see the dark wall in all its glory….

  27. Patricia G says

    I’ve had Pyrex explode before – so scary! I think the arrow would be great on your front porch, directing people to your front door. That way people will always know which door is the right one to knock on…unless you want them to knock on the other one. Haha.

    First off, I am pinning my bangs back too! Lol. Been letting them grow out–BUT–I have a hair appointment on the 20th–oh what to do, what to do. lol.

    I have said it before and I will say it again–I am SO jealous of your walks…lol. Such beautiful scenery.

    Also–cannot believe your pan exploded!! Crazy!

Happy Friday!  TGIF!  This has been one crazy week…. Chris has been away and is finally due home this morning, so on top of getting ready for the Hometalk Halloween Hunt tomorrow at Sweet Clover, I’ve been solo parent, carting the kids from here to there and making sure homework gets done.  The kids have been wonderful all week, but my dogs have felt neglected and let me know by eating Sawyer’s left over cinnamon rolls, taking a box of chocolates out of the pantry and eating that, peeing on the floor, and more…. yes, they’ve been a real furry delight.  I had to remind myself several times this week why I love my dogs.  GAH.  Anyhow, I am off to the barn again today to finish up, but wanted to share a peek into my week via insta-gram (cassie8978)!

Last weekend my parents took the kiddos and I worked a little on Emmy’s room, removing her closet doors (which were well loved on pinterest!) and adding curtains instead.  With her vanity now in her closet it just makes sense.  These are Ikea curtains but I was lucky to have a friend give them to me as she had just taken them down from her daughter’s room.

I also went to Ikea and picked up this fun turquoise pillow she had to have!   And also the stuffed animal hanging organizer which I don’t love, but is a necessary evil with this child.

I had an amazing night out with friends!  And after a facebook friend of another friend commented “Who let the lone brunette into your club?”  How funny is that?  I hadn’t noticed I was the only one with brown hair!

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch and Sawyer chose this one which has lots of character.

Our rule is you can’t get it unless you can carry it…. Emmy did not get this one.

My two loves…

I worked on my pumpkin project to be revealed Monday.

I went for a dark walk Monday morning before Chris left….

it lightened up as I walked and I saw that the colors are starting to change.

This shot was taken before he ate all the cinnamon rolls and peed on the floor.

My kitchen island is built and will be here this weekend!!!  Just need to finish it!

Emmy drew “Go, Dog, Go” and I think it’s rather good!

I chose family photo outfits for this weekend…. red white and blue with a little boho twist.

I got Emmy this adorable deer tunic from Target.  I asked if I could take a picture and asked if Sawyer wanted to jump in, too… this is what I got.  Love these two!

I finished this table and brought it to Sweet Clover.

I styled my bookcases for fall with antlers and brass animals….

And I stopped at a random Thursday yard sale on my way home yesterday from the barn!  Emmy photobombed! 🙂  I am in love with that coffee table!  Not sure what I will do with it just yet….

That’s all!  Have a great weekend and hope to see some of you tomorrow!

    You are a machine! So much on your docket this week. Where to begin?

    Ah, I know. THAT ISLAND! AMAZING! And your pumpkins are adorable!

    And your bookcases are like something out of my dreams!!! The color is perfection. I know you probably already shared that color, but can you share it with me again?

    Thanks for hosting today! I had a great time!

    Also, at On A Whim, I saw a similar coffee table that someone painted black and distressed, then flipped over and made into a canopy dog bed by putting a cushion in it! I thought it was super cute and clever.

Happy Friday and welcome to another installation of Insta-Friday where I share with you my favorite instagrams from the week.  (You can also follow me at cassie8978).  Today, the kids and I embark on our trip back home….. it’s about a 10 hour drive, so wish us luck!  We have snacks, a new travel magnet bingo, and we are ready to go!  In the meantime, here are some of our instagrams from our trip….

Heading out on our way….

Country kids in the city, exploring Charlotte with Uncle Trav and Aunt Jill….

First day at Seabrook hitting the pool for the afternoon.

Relaxing poolside while the kids play…

And I had to take a picture of this…. I usually LOVE deer items, but this inflatable dear floatation device had me scared.

 First night, first bottle of wine… an Spanish organic red which was very good.

Relaxing with my boy watching a movie….

Early morning waiting for the sea turtle release….

And there they go!

Off to the beach…

Me and my beach babes…

Best buds in the pool…

A treat for myself from the farmer’s market….

She said she wasn’t tired…

 Revitalizing with sugar at the marina…

Paintings and balloon animals- a fun family night at the marina!

Bottle number 2- LOVE this one, an italian red.

A nice quiet non-crowded beach…

Relaxing as the kids make a castle and the waves roll in…

Cutest booty on the beach.

Happy Friday, Happy weekend!

Happy Friday!  It is FRIDAY!  And that might not mean to much to you, but it means a lot to me this week.  Yesterday, the kids and I made the drive from home to Knoxville, TN, where they will hang out with Gram Pam and Louie for a few days having adventures at Dollywood, movie theaters, and pools!  As for me, I am heading to Atlanta this morning to have my own adventures with this lovely lady.…
543096_10101728745666670_959988083_nPin

I might hang out with her mom, too.  She looks alright. 😉  Seriously, we are going to have so much fun!!!!  And I will also get to see Lisa, Kathleen, Michelle and Heidi!  It’s going to be a whirlwind flash of amazingness.  I can’t even stand it.

Anyhow, since I am in my car driving right now (not literally as I type this, don’t worry!  But, ooh, if i could dictate to Siri… hmmm….), I thought I would share some of our instagram adventures this week!

Emmy enjoyed leftovers of the amazing chocolate sheet cake Sarah from Savvy Young Something brought to the vendor potluck last weekend.

Tuesday she was EXHAUSTED and argued up and down about cleaning her room, the same room I had spent 2 hours organizing and cleaning while she was at Gramma’s Saturday.  She eventually passed out on her bed for 2 hours.  I walked in just as she was waking up, and did what any normal mother would do- Laughed and took a picture.

And yet, she was still mad at me when she went to bed that night, as you can see by her body language…

I shared a sneak peek of the quatrefoil piece.

And 12 days into summer, my sanity and dignity have already been checked.  Sawyer is just a product of this environment.

And with that, I am signing off!  Not sure I will be back until Tuesday as Monday will be spent driving home!  Happy weekend, everyone!

    You know, I don’t get jealous and envious too often, but this post does it. Tell Heidi and Kelly hello from me. No, on second thought give them a huge hug, please I mean that. A bear hug one from Bliss. Then take Mila and run.

Happy Friday!  Lots going on here these days as we make out plans for the barn, redo our kitchen, and prepare for a visit from my brother and his fiancee this weekend (and we’ve invited over all of our local friends for a cookout… I was optimistic about the kitchen! 😉 ).

I spent my day yesterday teaching my friend’s mother how to paint furniture.  We worked for almost 5 hours and had fun chatting through it all.  At one point she asked me “Are you sure you’re not my daughter?” because we have very similar personalities and views.  It’s also so fun to see someone just starting to paint furniture- the excitement and energy are inspiring!  After she left, I got to work priming trim in the kitchen which is how I like to have a good time.  It was so fun that I even spent my evening getting a second coat of primer on the trim while Chris assembled our industrial shelving.  Today I plan to paint the walls and trim!  If anyone local is looking for a good time… call me. 😉  I’ll hand you a brush.

Since I am busy working on the kitchen and don’t have much furniture to share, I thought I would share some of my instagram photos from the week… (You can follow me at cassie8978)

A peek at a dining table I am working on…

Peonies are blooming!  My Double Peonies just bloomed, too!

I promise I didn’t sit on your bed while you were outside working… promise.

New kitchen lights from West Elm!  And yes, I have vintage style bulbs for them, but I hadn’t bought them when the electrician was here and we needed to make sure they worked.

Yesterday on my drive over to my friend’s house for our morning run this family crossed in front of me…. they scurried so fast that by the time I was ready to snap a picture they were far away.  Don’t worry, there was no one behind me and I stopped.  I didn’t take it while driving!

Aaaaah….. I love my new kitchen sink pendant from Lamps Plus!  LOVE!  What I don’t love is painting trim…. I’ve been working on those windows.

And last night we got our stove back in place!  Woot Woot!  No more chicken nuggets and pizza bagels for dinner! Eh, who am I kidding- we will still eat that!

That’s all I have for you in new pictures, but I thought it would be fun to look back and see how far we’ve come so far in the kitchen….
Pin

Yep.  I am happy with the progress!  Now to go get it all painted, clean up as much as possible, put the kitchen in some sort of order for the time being, grocery shop for a cookout, buy beer and wine, tend to the gardens, all in time for my brother and his fiancee’s arrival Sunday!  Game on! 🙂

Hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day…. This weekend I will be thinking of those in OK, and the poor wife and child of the beheaded British soldier.  My heart goes out to all of them.

    Everything is really starting to come together in your kitchen!!! I love all the lighting!! Funny you mention the light bulbs. My in laws are really big on using those CFL light bulbs. And they just can’t get over why I refuse to use them. They would totally think it would be okay to use them in your pretty west elm lights! too funny!!

    Oh, Cassie it’s so much fun to see your kitchen coming together!

Happy Friday!  Hope you all had a fabulous Valentine’s Day!  I gave Chris a jar filled with at-home dates for him to redeem…. I call it the “poor wife’s gift”.  He gave me a plane ticket to anywhere I want to go by myself!  So I am in the process of nailing down dates, but am excited to head out to California to visit Ali and Lisa, and my brother and his awesome girlfriend!  I went a year and a half ago and had a blast and am looking forward to a repeat! 🙂  Maybe we will even get in some more karaoke…

I am totally un-motivated at the moment, so even though I actually have a stash of projects I could share with you the thought of writing about them is giving me the hives.  I also have a hallway to paint next week, and am dreading it!  Oh Motivation, where may ye be?  Come back to me.

In the meantime, I thought I would share some fun little snippets from the past couple weeks from instagram, just because.  If you follow me on instagram (cassie8978) then you have already seen these. And if you don’t, well why not?  Don’t you like me?  Do I annoy you?  Does this Instagram make me look fat?

Chris’ jar-o-dates:

A milk glass vase that went to the barn though I am secretly hoping doesn’t sell because I love its unique shape so much:

Found some awesome vintage horse paintings…. trying to decide if they will both be part of the master bedroom mini gallery wall or not (And this wall is evolving people, it’s not done!):

Pucker up, butter cup!  Jake and I saw this cow on our walk yesterday:

A project peek:

I have been playing with my hair more… the French braid version:

The corn braid version(The corn braid is woven underneath instead of on top so the braid sits on top):

Playing with my water color pencils for the first time in maybe 8 years:

My best friend in Louisiana sent us a King Cake for Mardi Gras.  Sawyer found the baby:

Target, taunting me with this $9 clearance bath mat/rug which I did not buy because I am strong.  Take that, Target!

This girl sleeps in the best positions and lucky for you I like to take pictures of it:

She also struts her stuff.  Here she is modeling her acro costume for me:

Found this bar cart the other day at a thrift shop.  I won’t even tell you what I paid for it because you will want to jump through the computer and b—h slap me.

The end.  Have a fabulous weekend!  And remember, if you are local head on over to the barn sale this weekend for some amazing stuff! 🙂  Sarah and I hope  to see you Saturday when we work!

    Happy Valentines Day to you! What a great gift from Chris and I think your gift is just as wonderful, it’s the love behind the gift, right? 🙂 How did I not see the great horse pics? You know I love horsey pics,if you decide to sell them, let me know. Have a great weekend and maybe your mojo will find you, I need to paint the last of the oak trim in the house this weekend and I’m feeling the same way!

    So many great pictures! Love the cart and the horse pictures/gallery wall. I hear you on the motivation. I really need to get something finished here. Love your hair braided. I totally don’t think I could manage that on my own. Watercolor pencils are so fun to use, my youngest chooses them frequently at art class. And, your kids are super cute. There is so much personality that comes through in their pictures you share. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
