Stairway Inspiration


I've been looking for some stairway inspiration lately.  When we moved into our home 7 years ago, the stairs were covered with dated brown carpet.  Not very appealing! It was a huge job pulling the carpet off of them, but underneath was beautiful dark wood.  It wasn't really in the best shape, but it's worked for us for the past few years.  I'm thinking it's time to get them into shape! What I really love are stair runners, or even a stair runner "painted on." Something that will continue up through the upstairs hallway. Here are steps that I love!

I like the idea of leaving the tops wood.

I had to share these, because really these are the steps I'd love to be climbing right now! To the beach!!

Musings, New Product & a Giveaway



Have you tried these? Oh my. I am in heaven. (of course I did not buy a whole case)

I'm loving how my second child uses her lint brush on her outfits every morning. She wore these to school today and looked so cute. 

The little girls and I made this for dessert the other night and they were delicious. We also fixed leg of lamb for the very first time that night. It was different, but not too bad. I marinated it with garlic, peppercorns, olive oil and rosemary and roasted it in the oven. 

We are starting preschool here at home for the little girls, and they are loving it. (so am I!)

Wondering how much longer the girls' pet chicken is going to let them drop it down the slide and carry it around like a baby doll. 

I've been listening to this and this. Watch the video, it will make your day :) I've also pulled out a box of classical CD's from the attic I had to purchase for a music class in college.   #3 is obsessed with classical music lately, she loves recognizing the different instruments. 


SHOP NEWS:



My new bags that made their debut last weekend will be available in a few weeks online.  They are gorgeous, and big - I am in love with them. For those of you who were able to snag one or it's mini version at Country Living, I'd love to know what you think!




My shop is also stocked with fabric earrings, necklaces and rings ready to be shipped.  I would love to have you help me spread the word. To thank you, I'm giving one of you a pair of earrings, one of you a necklace and one of you a ring

Shop Besserina!



                                                                       Oh my.

                                          As glad as I am to be back home to reality,





                            it has sure been an amazing weekend at the Country Living Fair!

                             We were blessed with great weather & many sweet customers.

                       The picture above is of my sister-in-law and I. We were a great team :)

                             My husband built me a beautiful structure to go around the tent.

                      He made it out of old barn wood, tin, windows and pillars. I LOVED it.

                                                  I filled it with all things Besserina...





   










Hope to see you all there again next fall!
