Beautiful Things

Life has been much more time-consuming than I had anticipated. This season has definitely stretched me mentally, physically, and spiritually. I wish I had more time to update this blog on a regular basis, but it, among other things, has fallen by the wayside.

Fortunately, I do have a moment right now to give a little update on a few things going on around here that I am just so excited about! Like this:

Jakub and I made the coffee table of my dreams! It wasn't difficult at all, which is good for newbies like us, but it was so much fun to go through the whole process together. Plus, I think it makes our living room look so much fancier than our last "plain jane" coffee table.

We've been redecorating our house here and there and lately we've stumbled upon some great little treasures!

We found the owl money bank, butterfly pictures, and antique chinese bowl at the flea market this weekend.

And these little finds, plus a few others, were discovered this morning at an estate sale. A fancy box, old diana camera, camera filters in every imaginable color, and three fancy head scarves came home with us. We also brought home an old polaroid camera and something else that I can't quite describe--I can't figure out what it is!

I've had so much fun with Jakub, creating and scavenging for things that will make our home more "us". I especially love that my husband is the one to find the estate sales or garage sales; I don't feel like I'm having to drag him to do anything he's not interested in. I sure am blessed with this boy! He'd rather go thrifting than watch a football game--God knew what he was doing with this one! It feels so nice to have such a good fit with the man that I married, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

With everything that is going on and vying for my attention, I'm so glad that I have him by my side each day. I can't make any promises, but hopefully I'll be able to post a little more regularly. There's so much going on that I'd like to talk about. Or maybe this is a time where I need to just keep quiet and enjoy life for all that it is. I guess we'll see. Until next time, grace and peace!
