I’m a bit unsteady from these waves of gratitude. It’s shimmery, too bright, throwing me off-balance. I am thankful to God for his blessings in my life.
There have been sweet words, a smile, a prayer whispered, a laugh, a glass of wine at girls’ night. I am grateful. Thank you for showing up today. If not today, then thank you for all the other days of showing up in my life. I am grateful. It was a wonderful day. Kelley

So instead of making 60 key lime cupcakes for grand opening or cleaning up my garage that looks like a slum in India, I’m showing you some thrifty treasure from today. I was sucked into the force field of a yard sale in a ritzy neighborhood today. Lucky jeans for $1, yes please. Size 0, I don’t care, I will re-sell. I spent $50 to fill up the trusted Pilot and pealed into the first consignment shop I saw. I walked away with $34 cash and these little goodies. Why yes that is a Lily Pulitzer skirt, pink Converse shoes, and a Vera Bradley hat. Fun times, fun times. The afternoon got even better as Becky and I went junk picking at the Good Will in Bearden. I love that girl! Now off to make bountiful amounts of culinary delights for tomorrow’s grand opening. Hope to see you there!

Oh Joey, Where do I start? Let’s see: soul mate, fab sense of humor, father of our children, champion of the late night chocolate run, and wickedly good with power tools.
So while I’m in spaz mode adding merchandise to the booth, Joey decides he’ll wrangle 100-year-old banisters and eves from the grainery at the old family farm 25 miles away. Through chiggers, weeds, and dust, with 15 minutes before closing, he made the store front of the booth. I love this man.

Brand New, Bouncing Booth, a Strapping Shop if you will. Design Narrative feels a lot like my previous birthing experiences. Today I’ve been equal parts exhausted, nauseous, tearful, and ecstatically happy. This bundle of joy took 10+ years to come to be, two intense weeks of labor, and immense help from fabulous family and friends. Today it’s real and I’m in awe. A lot like giving birth I say. The official sip and see is Saturday from 12-2 but Design Narrative has arrived as of 6:01 June 1, 2011! More photos will follow…this mama is tired!
