Linking up - Kitchen Vignette

I'm linking up to Rhoda's Vignette Party over at Southern Hospitality - here .

Just wanted to share a picture of one vignette for this Christmas! I am still working on the others, so my little "Kitchen tree" will have to do!

Hope you enjoy!

A few pictures :)

Hey guys! I cannot believe it has been so long since I've updated! Nearly a year - wow! I started my RN program this fall and it's been a non stop roller coaster ever since. I am really ready to jump back into blogging full force and what better time to do it than my favorite time of the year?!

Here are a few pictures of my "not totally finished" tinsel tree in my dining room. I scored it on clearance for $50 down from - get this - $800 and this is the first time it's been out of the box. I am totally in love <3

Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore

Same Kind of Different As Me is an amazing true story that shares the tale of an unlikely friendship between two men walking two very different paths in life.

Denver is a black, poverty stricken man who escapes from the confines of modern day slavery and as a result spends the next 18 years homeless. Ron is a wealthy art dealer from Texas who does not reach out to many, instead choosing to live his more than comfortable lifestyle. His wife, Debbie however feels led to help Denver and what follows is an incredible tale of love, faith and friendship between two men from whom no one would expect.

This book is written in two narratives from both Denver and Ron’s point of view. It covers so many topics from poverty, slavery and prejudice to compassion, mercy, faith and love. It truly is an inspirational book that opens our eyes to how on the most basic levels we are all so much the same, regardless of our different circumstances. I cannot recommend this book any more highly. It touched me and made me think about the world with a fresh perspective and I believe it will for you as well!

Hi Guys!

It's been awhile! I'll be back very shortly with some great thrifty treasures and decorating ideas later on this week :)

I just wanted to blog about a great new e-book written by Ruthie at www.sugarpiefarmhouse.com. This is one of my absolutely favorite blogs! She writes about so many wonderful ways to make a house a home - and includes so many tips and lovely ideas about family time. It is always a breath of fresh air to read.

I hope you'll all go check out her E book and her blog! :)
