flickr friday: me :)

Today's flickr friday spotlight is me :). We went to a flea market & carnival last weekend and I wanted to share some of my pictures. We didn't ride any of the fun rides, but we did eat some really good cajun fried pickles and a funnel cake. Yum! My snowcone was huge, but not any good. At the flea market, I got some cheap books and Brad bought a golf club...for some reason. Check out my flickr for more.

Etsy finds: metals

{steely gray metal wall organizer & grey cash box}

I love both of these pieces by 26 olive street on Etsy. I am thinking that I really need that wall organizer for my studio that is slowly coming together.

Etsy finds: chartreuse love

{chartreuse scallop mirror & martini bianco earrings}

I have many color loves, but chartreuse was my first love. I am wanting both of these lovely chartreuse finds so badly!

Pagosa Springs

This is where Brad has been on his last trip for work: Pagosa Springs, Colorado. He really loved it there and is hating the heat wave we are having here in Kansas right now.

Such pretty views to look at while you are working.

I'm here...

Sorry for the lack of posts. Life has just gotten in the way a little lately. We had a horrible hail storm about a week and a half ago. Luckily, my mom was here with me (Brad was still in Colorado) and also we were in a nearby town eating dinner...so we completely missed it. The neighbors said that it sounded like bombs were dropping because the hail was as big as baseballs and from all the breaking of windows.

This picture is what we came home to. It looked like it had snowed there was so much hail on the ground.

And here is the damage we saw in the morning. Our whole south side of our house was affected. I was pretty stressed out by it, but Brad thought it was a good thing. We wanted to redo the outside anyways...it was just at the bottom of our list. Well, it has been moved to the top. Thank goodness for insurance.

So that is what I have been doing...fixing things, filing paperwork, dealing with insurance and adjusters. Things have finally calmed down though, so I will be back to regular posting.

And I'm feeling a GIVEAWAY coming on....
