Back to Blogging

Oh Wow, have I missed my little blog.  Life has been super busy and I'm looking forward to getting back into a routine as well as catching up with you all!

Did you have a nice weekend?  I finished up Etsy orders, we ran errands, bought new parfait dishes, had our usge Coffee Bean Sunday morning, we drove around looking for second hand stores to find me a sewing table (still in search), bought The Town on demand which was an awesome movie, and had a bit of chill time

I'm really digging some new tunes, D always discovers the best ones:




How are you all?  I know I am missing so much and can't wait to hear from you!

-Jen, did you get your invites sent out? (I can't wait to feature them on the blog)
-T-Tams, are you enjoying your new outdoor lounge?
-Margo, my thoughts have been with you and your family these past few weeks!
-Faith- what's new?  What movies have you seen, what outfits have you worn, what have you cooked lately?
-Yanyan, I can't wait to see the new collection!
-Nicole, how's the planning? I can't wait to help you with those details you discussed (I'll email ya).
-Kathy- I love the new dining room, you have been so busy on the homefront lately!
Everyone else- You've been missed and I can't wait to get back into the loop!


Oh, and guess what?  Sweet Peas and Seashells has recently become a  proud sponsor of both the White Flower Farmhouse and  Frugal Farmhouse Design .  Browse on over to these lovely blogs when you have a moment.  Nothing better than supporting people and their businesses in which you truly believe- these ladies are fantastic!

Have a lovely start to you week!

Surrounded by Goodies

I've got some fab recent purchases for the home to share with you all- loving!  I'll be posting a few photos of how these items have been used in our home later this week!

My obsession with pillows continues.  Ask hubby D, we can't have enough.  Most are stored for different times of year, but that's what's nice about removable covers- change 'em out and re-use the inserts.  I'm thinking of making some flannel plaid covers for this winter (um..........asking myself- when do you have time woman), but I'm digging the look and feel inspired.  Either that or an awesome deer silhouette pillow- also digging!  We picked up a few burlap covers at good 'ol PB and we couldn't be more pleased.  Perfect for fall, transitioning to winter, and we really do use them for months on out!

Festive pumpkins- these buds are faux pumpkins this year.  Proof later this week of what happens when I accessorize with real pumpkins:

I also scored an awesome basket for my S&S studio office and I'm anxiously waiting on it's arrival!  It's has a perforated front and back, with open wire sides, 13" long by 9" wide.  Adore!  I can't wait to add it to my office shelf to help me keep organized.  Purchased from my newly found fave shop, White Flower Farmhouse (my basket is the one pictured on the top in the photo):

And, the classic muffin.  We all know the flavor by now, and it will be eaten soon, so no follow up photos on this beast:

Tuesday Tunes- Life Ain't So Shitty

Why do I sometimes forget the oldies?  Okay, not oldies in terms of how we discuss music today, but for me, the comfort sounds of my teenage years, the albums I listened to over and over and still love.  Blind Melon was only BM because of Shannon Hoon (rest his soul), and that man had one an amazing voice.  Hubs can't stand BM, but growing up on the sounds- I bust it out when he's not around.  How could I have forgotten about this song?  I would listen to it to brush off those 'bad days'- perfect for letting go of last week.  Yay for some reminiscing.



I have to also share this awesome site I cam across yesterday.  I find so many wonderful sites through random blogs (which I admit I frequently don't track back on my browser to remember the linked poster).  The lovely WhiteFlower Farmhouse has just about every accessory known to a beach house lover such as myself.  All those stunning things you don't necessarily need for your home, but totally want!  Yep, this is the one-stop-shop.  If I lived on the East Coast, I would stalk their estate sales and have a serious hole in my pocket from snatching up all their goodies.  My ultimate love is their use of recycled materials, reuse people!  Check out their lovely blogs as well for some amazing decor ideas and remodeling budgeted projects.
