Launch Party Giveaway Day Four…An Etsy Feature!



It’s Day Four of our Launch Party and time for another Fabulous Giveaway!

We were so honored when Pamela of From My Front Porch to Yours, graciously agreed to donate an item from her Etsy shop for us to giveaway to one lucky winner!

Until recently, her beautiful shop has primarily consisted of fabulous items for the “oh so chic” little one in your life!

Boutique Unisex Valentine Wishes Spittle Bib

Boutique Baby Boy Muscle Car Chenille Bib

Pink Paisley Pacifier Clip Toy Clip Pre Made

If only I had known Pamela when my rascals were babies!

Now, Pamela is taking her talent and creativity to another level.
I’ll let here share it with you in her own words.

“I am sooo excited to be introducing a few houseware items to my shop! If they go over well I will be opening a new shop entirely focused on just housewares!”

And if you think she can make a bib look fabulous, wait until you see what she can do to a frame!

French Song Bird Embellished Picture Frame

“Who has Spring fever!?? My first addition to the shop is my French Song Bird Picture Frame. This frame is a 4×6 frame that I have hand painted, glazed and antiqued. It features a beautiful 2 D song bird picture accented with sparkle and a music sheet back ground.”

Isn’t that absolutely gorgeous?
I don’t think I could make something like that if my life depended on it!
We were so appreciative to Pamela for her willingness to contribute to our Launch Party Giveaway week in such a generous way, that we are now making her our
Featured Esty Shop
for the month of February!
We will keep a link up to her shop on our sidebar all month long and we encourage you to hop over there and take a look at more of her amazing creations.
I might try and convince my kids to start wearing bibs again just so I can buy one!
I think that would go over well, don’t you?
Thank you so much Pamela for not only donating this item, but for being such an amazing friend here in blogland. You were one of the first to welcome me (Vanessa) into this community and you have always been so encouraging and supportive.
Now, would you like to win that beautiful French Song Bird Picture Frame?
You would?
Well, here’s how!
(Mandatory) 1. Pay a visit to Pamela’s Etsy Shop Spoiled Sweet Couture and let us know what strikes your fancy from her darling store.
(Optional) 2. Add At the Picket Fence to your blogroll and let us know you did!
or
(Optional) 3.Sign up to follow us on Twitter
That’s 3 ways to enter to win this fabulous Giveaway!
And, if you have an Etsy shop and would be interested in donating an item for a Giveaway, we would be thrilled to offer you a place of honor on our sidebar for one month.
Please contact us for details!
Thanks for stopping by the Fence today!

This…this right here…is my heart’s desire. H This…this right here…is my heart’s desire. Happy Friday dear friends. Let’s make this the goal for our homes. 🍃

“I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.” (Jani Ortlund)
It’s time for another #tiptuesday and this week It’s time for another #tiptuesday and this week I’m showing how easy it is to decorate an entry table for spring in under five minutes! The formula is SO simple…

1. A lamp is your staple element and provides height.
2. Add a stack of books.
3. Bring in depth with a small framed seasonal print.
4. Add a small tray
5. Place seasonal accessories and a candle on that tray especially if you have cute brass bunnies!
6. Put a vase or urn on top of the books and add fresh or silk spring flowers.

And that’s all there is to it! Happy Spring dear friends! 🌸
Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful s Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful sunshine especially when our family has been hit by illness this week. Everyone is on the upswing, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?
Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to apply eyeliner while you have the hiccups. It won't go well. Trust me on this one! 😜

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

Happy weekend to you dear friends!

What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Psalm 25:1-6
Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great chan Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” I think this is true for everyone worldwide. You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!
