Insta-Saturday

November 16, 2013 by Cassie 11 Comments

As promised yesterday, here is what I have shared on instagram this week!  (Plus a bit more and some sneak peeks, but you have to follow me to see those- cassie8978)

As a participant in Michaela’s Joy Filled Home Challenge this month, I’ve been sharing lots of little spaces in the home and my life following the prompts.  This image was “where I blog.”

Pin

And after showing this guy to Chris, he told me I should just get him.  Not in so many words, but I knew he meant I should.

Pin

 I had a date at our local diner with my favorite boy.

Pin

The day I posted about the guest room changes and needing an MCM dresser, someone heard my call! I found it THAT day at a thrift shop.  It’s perfectly unique!  And for all who follow on instagram who said they couldn’t wait to see it painted…. well keep waiting because it’s not going to be painted.

Pin

I went through my Christmas decorations to see what I might use this year… And I pulled out these mercury glass candlesticks to use now.  Love them with the little gourds on the hearth!

Pin

I created a little centerpiece on the island using rosemary, tiny vintage glass milk bottles, and my gilded white antlers.

Pin

I worked on a project I will share Monday!

Pin

I went for a walk and snapped a picture of this old gate I love.

Pin

I finally hung this brass horse hook I found at the flea market this summer.  Now that we are taking Charlie out by leash instead of letting him roam in the back yard, we needed better access to the leashes.

Pin

Another Joy Filled Home instagram was a favorite recipe I like to make: mom’s apple crisp, still on the card she gave me with her writing on it!  I use golden delicious apples when I make it because they are my personal favorite.

Pin

Be back Monday to share a fun DIY with you!  Happy weekend!  I am off to spend time with my in laws who are visiting, also off to work at the barn, and off to a charity event, a school fundraiser, oh and the flea market!

    You do more in one day than I do in one (productive) month. I’m so glad you’re not painting the dresser! I was totally digging it as-is.

Insta-Saturday

October 12, 2013 by Cassie 11 Comments

It’s been a busy week on the blog and in real life, so instead of insta-Friday, you get insta-Saturday this week!

Beautiful sunrise on the morning of our Sweet Clover Hometalk Halloween Hunt...

Pin

After the hunt, Sarah and I shopped downtown and I purchased this awesome vintage horse sweater from Venus on the Half Shell.  It rocks.  And there is even a horse on the back, too.

Pin

Sunday we did our family photo shoot (sneak peek here!)  Here we are on the ride home… I as happy and relieved that the kids were fabulous for it!

Pin

Fall officially came to town this week and Jake and I enjoyed a brisk walk…

Pin

While Charlie enjoyed snuggling with his moose blankie.  He loves to cuddle with it and rest his head on its head.  Please ignore his runny eyes…. he is almost 14!

Pin

 I shopped at World Market and fell in love with these plates.
Pin

I did purchase some fun hooks for $2 each and FINALLY untangled necklaces.  Now I can finally wear my wooden heart necklace that says “MOMY” on it.

Pin

I ordered some AWESOME gold vinyl stars from my pal Julia’s etsy shop (stars and triangles will be coming soon to the shop!) and added them to the kids bathroom.  There will be a blog post with better pictures at some point, but for now…

Pin

Oh, and major news this week…. I have a kitchen island!  Blog post will be coming on that, too, but let me tell you my neighbor is AMAZING.  He nailed it… it’s a dream.

Pin

I worked on an antler mount and added some white and gold, and “Halloween’ed” it up with a crow.

Pin

I had an AMAZING night out on the town with girlfriends at GNO presented by Silk and Burlap and benefiting the Heartly House.  Here’s how it works: You purchase a $25 ticket (proceeds to the Heartly House) and that ticket provides you with a 20% discount at 4 participating shops, limo service between shops (perfect since it was a monsoon!), champagne and cocktails, and finger foods!  Great shopping, great friends, great food, and all for a great cause.  Here we are toasting the evening out before leaving.

Pin

I purchased this rad fox sweatshirt that my friends weren’t feelin’, but I totally was.  I bought it and I have decided that I am on a mission to purchase odd items and try to make them work.  That will be a fun challenge!

Pin

I wore said sweatshirt to head out the next rainy day to thrift and found these two pieces.  I love the MCM coffee table!

Pin

I also found this….

Pin

Oh, and Thursday while it was raining I decided to paint my kitchen interior doors with chalkboard paint.  I clearly love my chalkboard paint.  I hope we never break up.   Cassie + Rustoleum Chalboard Paint = True Love 4-Eva.

Pin

And now thanks to all that rain we have no soccer today, and empty schedule for the day!  What ever shall we do?  Tonight we are headed to some friends for some Octoberfest home brews, and tomorrow we are having some friends we haven’t seen in a while over for brunch.  I think it’s going to be a great Fall weekend!  Enjoy!

    Please share pics of your odd clothes mission…too funny! Love your island, just suggested the exact same stars to a client for her bathroom, those plates catch my eye every time I’m in WM, and, Charlie, oh sweet, Charlie.

    Oh I love Fall and your recap of the week is why! All those cool crisp adventures and the cool sweaters!
    Now, that Island is unbelievable. It’s what an kitchen island should be!! I’ve tried my desk, which MC really built for a sofa table, but it just takes up space and has no FUNCTION! Your island has true FUNCTION!!!

    Looks like you had a great weekend, my Stella is almost 14 and has a runny eye too. My vet says it is dry eye. Wish I were brave enough for a chalkboard door, and the kitchen island is beautiful!
