Annie, I just read your Bold post. I too have been tested this last year but our family has been threatened with loosing our businesses and home and my husband had unexpected open heart surgery in the Fall. We have had such a strength and peace through it all because we know God is in control and He will provide what we need. I am so much happier and like you,each time he shows me something I have had pride about I am so glad to give it to Him! Sometimes it is scarry but I wouldn't trade this time with Him for anything. What a testimony, thanks for sharing!
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been “styling” things; days spent in the gravel designing floor plans with pebbles, a secret leafy hide-a-way inside a shrub by the lake, frugally building a dollhouse and all the furnishings using cardboard, a donated wallpaper book and found objects.
I was appalled when, as a teen, my parents purchased an entire bedroom set for my little room --- all I’d EVER wanted was a daybed and odd little prints tacked on the walls….
For the last 23 years, home has been Stone Meadow Farm, an 1840’s farmhouse on 5 acres.
My tastes have evolved through the years, but the foundation has stayed the same – my belief that modest things can be more beautiful than anything expensive, that style comes from one’s heart, and… find the FUN in everything!
