Hollywood Comes A-Knocking Again

Our town has been busy the past few weeks. A movie starring Shia Labeouf just finished filming and a Disney movie has just begun. The house in the picture above is where the Disney movie will be filmed. If you click on the link below, you can read the article from the local newspaper. It mostly tells about road closures and traffic detours. Oh, the price we pay for fame! :)
Filming begins on Greenville Street - The Times-Herald

Happy Mardi Gras

Happy Mardi Gras Everyone! If you do not live in a town that celebrates Mardi Gras, you, like me, might be dying to say "Throw me something mister". Or that could be just me. :) Any who, I decided to browse Etsy this morning to get my "mardi gras" fix.

Lesse bon temps rouler!

Etsy Finds

I love blogs! I love bloggers even more! They are always sharing their latest ideas or their best finds. I was recently reading a post from Bryn Alexandra. She found these amazing pillow covers on Etsy. They are made from hand block print fabric, and I have not stopped thinking about them since I read the post. The name of the shop on Etsy.com is Giardino. The designer uses stamps to create wonderful designs on linen fabric. I thought I would share a few of my favorites from her shop. I also found a few other pillows from different designers and thought I would share those as well. You can find their stores by clicking the names under the pillows.
