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...]

Glittered Egg Place Cards

March 26, 2013 By Julie 12 Comments

Easter has snuck up on me this year. I know that JoAnn’s has already moved on to its patriotic Memorial Day décor, but I’m still putting away stray hearts from February. Throw in spring break, a special 6 year old birthday celebration, and a week long visit from my in-laws and I’ve realized that our Easter will have a … [Read more...]

Lace Dyed Easter Eggs

March 22, 2013 By Heather 27 Comments

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? Excitedly you tell her about this idea you saw in Better Homes and Gardens for Lace Dyed Easter Eggs. How they took … [Read more...]

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...]

Spring Centerpiece and Mantel Decor

March 13, 2013 By Vanessa 37 Comments

When we were little our mom would take us on walks. A LOT of walks. We went in every season, every kind of weather and as we would walk she would say, "smell girls, smell!" and we would all stop and take deep sniffs of the air. I can't speak for Heather but I'm fairly certain that at the time I didn't fully appreciate just what I was … [Read more...]

Bird’s Nest Cupcakes in Mason Jars

March 8, 2013 By Heather 50 Comments

There's nothing more scary for a car owner. You're traveling down the road and you hear an ambiguous noise. You know the one. The noise that happens intermittently as your driving blissfully along, the one that strikes fear in your heart and then you don't hear it for days. And just as your lulled into a sense of complacency, … [Read more...]

We are so thrilled to be joining our wonderful and lovely friends Debbie from Oh So Shabby Debbie and Karianne of Thistlewood Farms in a sort of virtual potluck today.
