Welcome to Inspiration Friday No. 52!

Inspiration Friday Graphic1
Hey, hey party peeps!!

Anyone else having a hard time believing another week has already gone by?  Time does fly when you are being as inspired as we are each week by all of you! Before we get to the par-tay, we have a couple of announcements to make.
First, we are thrilled to have Designs by Tahra joining us as our newest Sponsor!

Her jewelry creations are just gorgeous.
Turquoise Earrings Sterling Silver Celtic Knot Turquoise

Swarovski Crystal Necklace Wire Wrapped Sterling Silver Rolo Chain
We’ll take 2 of everything please! Winking smile
You just have to see more of the beautiful pieces for sale at Designs by Tahra!
We are also so excited to introduce you to our newest Friday Party Friend!
Have you met Karen, a.k.a. “Good Time Charlie” of the blog

Redoux
   If you have, then you already know how awesome this gal is! If you haven’t well, allow us to introduce you to her. She is funny and sweet and let’s not forget super talented. 
She also regularly risks life and limb to go dumpster diving and has hilarious stories to go along with the treasures she finds!
As an official member of the DIY Club she has done some amazing projects:

Karen also hosts a Friday Linky Party!

        Redoux
And we hope you when you are done joining the fun here at the Fence, you will head on over and pay her a visit and link up your fabulous selves to her party too.
Tell her the gals at the Fence sent ya and we’ll see you there!

Also, There is still time to enter this week’s Empire Patio Covers giveaway!

The winner will receive a $100 credit towards the patio covers of their choosing plus free shipping.

We sure hope so! BUT…We have a SPECIAL REQUEST of you, if you visit INSPIRATION FRIDAY and like to PIN the great projects you see here!

We are asking you to PRETTY PLEASE (with sugar on top) visit the ACTUAL PROJECT and PIN from there! Here’s why…

ONE: If someone clicks on your pin and ends up here…they’ll be disappointed, because the project they want information on won’t be HERE, it will be on the original blog…we don’t want to be accused of  the old bait and switch…lol and they’ll have to search for the original feature or IF link.

TWO: We want YOU…yes YOU, you fabulous, talented, creative and inspiring friends of Inspiration Friday to receive the credit, traffic and acoulades deserving of such amazing projects! We want people to find your lovely blogs through Pinterest and to see your amazing stuff!

Now, let’s get to our Features from last week’s party!

Jessica of Making the Home a Haven & Nurturing those that live there shared with us
a Dozen Fun Things to do with Kids! This blog is filled with wonderful ideas and encouragement for moms with young children as well as anyone desiring to turn their home into a haven.

We are just slightly crazy for this amazing Boy’s Room shared with us by Maple Leaves and Sycamore Trees! Check out that ceiling. It was made using Pallets! There are so many incredible details in this space that you simply must, MUST, go over and see the entire post.

And speaking of pallets…ummm…wait…what just happened…oh sorry! We were just completely distracted by these 2 ADORABLE children totally stealing the thunder from this darling little pallet table!
I mean, can you blame us? This project was shared with us by Brooke of Start at Home and even though the table was upstaged by those sweeties, we still think this is an amazing idea!

Our mouths started watering when we saw this gorgeous Herb and Gruyere Quiche from Allison at
Main St. Cuisine …she calls it “simple” we call it gorgeous and yummy!

We also loved how Dee Dee of ddzine created one-of-a-kind artwork in her living room when she framed the architectural blue prints of their home.  The punch of color it adds is perfect for this already beautiful space!

And speaking of art, we adore the original owl artwork that Vikki from the Quirky Quail created for her new grandson! The colors are so cheerful and fun, perfect for a baby’s room! Welcome baby Oliver to the world, you have one creative Nanna!

And finally, we had to share this amazing kitchen makeover from Jody at Homey Home Design.  Jody shared her kitchen reveal  and then wrote a follow up post with all of the great tips!  Just gorgeous!!

Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap m Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that we’ve completed two decades of parenting! I’ve had time to reflect on this season of life and shared some of my thoughts over at @club31women.

“Someday, years from now, we will watch home movies of the year 2023. And it will seem like I am peeking into the life of another family. I will have vague memories of those moments but my life will be so consumed with what is currently happening that it will seem like another lifetime. So, I embrace this season…this day…this moment. And I choose to declare that the emotional war in my heart between ‘what could have been’ and ‘what might be yet to come’ is over. I’m waving the white flag. I want my children to know that it is good and proper that they grow up and leave the nest. I want them to know that I can celebrate the passing of time rather than resist it even if there may be a few bittersweet tears that spill over from time to time.”

Head over to their devotional page to read the rest and I hope my words bring you encouragement for wherever you are on your parenting journey. 🤍
There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards of your labor! The whole family pitched in to get our bark spread around the yard (I’m the master at raking it until it’s nice and even) and by the end of the day we were all done. Now we can head into summer with our big yard projects completed! 🙌🏻 Do you put in fresh bark every year?
Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’ Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’s your favorite thing about this month? Mind can be summed up in this quote…

“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.” John Steinbeck
“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom “No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”
General Douglas MacArthur

Grateful today and every day for those who were vigilant to the point of death in the preservation of our freedom and the principles upon which our country was founded. May we honor their sacrifice by being vigilant too. #memorialday
I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables t I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables to pit next to our outdoor couch and when I spotted these plant stands at @walmart from their @betterhomesandgardens line I knew they would be perfect…and they are!! 👏🏻 This is not a sponsored post. I’m just happily sharing this great find and why we should always be open to thinking outside of the box when it comes finding solutions for our decorating dilemmas.

Now we’re ready to head into this beautiful weekend! ☀️
What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book? Head to the secondhand bookstore of course! I’m so excited about this new look in my family room and this easy, inexpensive decorating tip I’m bringing to you for this #tiptuesday
Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!
I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispenser I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispensers! They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
