New Things!

I have been swamped with work! I spent Monday grading papers from 7:30-10:30. It was three day's worth, but still!!!!! So needless to say, I haven't had a lot of good posting. I did do some shopping over the weekend and had some Pampered Chef come in, so I thought I would share the mundane of my life with you! Shopping is my therapy. I know, I know... money doesn't buy happiness. But for me, it makes me so giddy, and happy, and content to come home with something new and beautiful. I would gladly work an hour more everyday for shoes. My true satisfaction comes from Christ and Him alone, but shoes and home decor make my heart palpitate.

I got this "Home Sweet Home" wall art at my Open House. I finally got some construction pictures put in it a few weeks ago. I love it!


New chef plate in the kitchen from T.J. Maxx. The green "M" I painted thus had to find a new home! David hates when I come home with something new, and like five things have to shift to a new home because I have to move everything around to make room.


Pampered Chef "Mix and Pour" helps you create custom salad dressings because there are several recipes printed right on the side.


Pampered Chef ice cream sandwich maker- to create the perfect ice cream sandwich!

David hung the new blinds last night. They are massive! They are longer than I am tall. The privacy is wonderful.

Guest bedroom with new blinds. Sadly, the brown sheers had to find a new home.

The home of the new green "M"- the guest bathroom.

New purse for $5 at Shoe Carnival.

Fun new flats from Shoe Carnival!


I wore these Monday and love, love, love them! The brand is Rocket Dogs, and they have a little, hot pink dog on the strap. Cuteness!!!

  3. Jealous much? I AM! :) I also get physical rush from shopping-it's my best medicine. However, I am an impulse buyer and so with me staying at home for now I make a lot of returns. :( Love all of your new goodies. And I forgot how much I absolutely love your harlequin walls.

  4. I love all the new stuff! Especially the shoes!
    Scott got some rocket dogs last year. I think he wanted them because the dog reminded him of Dawson - but they ended up being his favorite shoes.
    Everything looks so cute in your house!

  6. I love getting new things too. Your priorities will change once you have kids though because I love buying for Brooklynn (haven't bought myself anything in a LONG time). I get even happier when she gets to wear a new outfit--isn't that sad?

  8. I have a pair of black Rocket Dog shoes and LOVE them. They are my favorite. So comfortable it's as if you are barefoot.

    And the Pampered Chef Ice Cream sandwich maker...um yea, need one of those!

  9. I have to go with everyone else that I LOVE to go shopping. Gracie and I ALWAYS have to make a Target run after the gym on Thursdays and Fridays...there is bound to be something that we need! I thought of you the other day when we were outside taking pictures. The old chair that we were using is not in the best shape (i.e. completely falling apart!) and I said to Will, "I bet Jessica could fix this up! Anyways...I had to share! Oh yes, and I ADORE Rocketdogs!

  12. What a delightful blog. Your house should be featured in a magazine. It's very lovely. Thanks for commenting when visiting my blog. I have a lot of lurkers who just tell me they like it when they see me. Drives me crazy!

  14. I love the brown flats....so cute! Where do you buy Rocket Dogs? My friend got some and they look so cute and comfortable! I forgot to ask her what store she purchased them from! Your new curtains are beautiful! I bought curtain material from Calico Corners in Dallas 3 years ago for our new house and don't have them made yet!
