  • Rare & Beautiful Treasures

    A friend made my morning by sending me the link to this Etsy shop which sells beautiful Christian art, including the above piece for which I named this blog! I don’t know this artist, but I think it is just so cool that we both love the Lord and are sisters in Christ. A happy…

  • Dream Property

    What is your dream property? Beach-side mansion? Renovated Victorian? Mountain house? Mine is a house in the country on a good chunk of acreage.

    I was in my garden tonight for the first time in weeks. During the fifth week of my pregnancy I experienced complications that put me on bed rest for what seemed like a long, long time. My midwife specifically instructed: “I do not want you gardening.” Ouch. Therefore, what lay waiting in my garden tonight…

  • Priceless.

    Time in which I have been married to Mr. Marvelous: 6 years, 7 months, and 7 days. Time in which I’ve been daydreaming about having a baby with Mr. Marvelous: (at least) 6 years, 7 months, and 7 days. Time since we were told we might not be able to have children of our own:…

  • Speaking of Charm

    How charming is this bathroom? Small on space, big on vintage style and charm. Layered towels for visual interest and soft texture. I am absolutely in love with the fabric of this custom shower curtain. The addition of the valance makes it extra special. Polished Chrome Faucets Love the way this vintage sink is set…
