May 26, 2013 By Heather 10 Comments

A Post from the Past Papaw's Flag Outside of our Home We can trace the legacy of service in my husband's family back to the Civil War but alas there is no photographic evidence, so I will start with the man who was/is so near and dear to my heart...

When Good Friday Doesn’t Feel Very Good

March 29, 2013 By At The Picket Fence 38 Comments

Every year I find myself compelled to go. I know it will probably feel painful and even a bit dark. I know I will once again sit in a pew with tears streaming down my face as I recognize how unworthy I am of being treated as someone of worth. To be valued, treasured, sacrificed for. If this is Good Friday, why doesn't it feel so … [Read more...]

So, have you ever found yourself standing at the check out line or a fabric counter and the clerk, trying to make small talk while cutting small squares of lace, asks what you are going to make with the fabric you are buying?

Split Pea Nest Collage www.atthepicketfence.com

I'm a word nerd. I love words. Words, words, glorious words! The entire time I'm working on a project I'm ruminating (great word choice right there don't you think?) about how I'm going to describe it to you. What kind of catchy title to give it. How to infuse it with just the right balance of information and witty banter. Is it wrong to … [Read more...]

Easter Brunch Buffet ~ Care to Join Me?

March 16, 2013 By Vanessa 22 Comments

Spring Brunch Buffet At the Picket Fence edited

In my mind the word Brunch = Fancy. But not too fancy. Not sparkly dress and pointy-toed stilettos kind of fancy. More like a cute sundress and espadrilles. It's taking the everyday routine of cereal for breakfast and peanut butter and jelly for lunch up a notch...or two...or three. Toss in the word 'buffet' and you definitely don't … [Read more...]
