DIY Blue Mason Jar Invites!

Are you completely in Love with blue mason jars too?
Sigh...I am!!
I have a few vintage ones, and recently bought the 100th Anniversary edition as well! 
So when asked to be a hostess for my nephews sweet bride's bridal shower...
..we decided it would be fun to do a DIY invite.
After all our table arrangements will be in some sweet blue mason jars!


Do you LOVE?
You can find the printable at The Graphics Fairy!
On the back, I printed all her shower information, and added a jute tag. 

It's going to be a fabulous time blessing them!! 

Love,
Naomi

Memorial weekend at the Cabin!


 A 30 minute drive away sits a favorite getaway...our sweet little cabin up in the hills!! 
A feeling of being in the middle of nowhere takes over!! 
Where your phone doesn't work so well, and leaving it behind is something wonderful!
*warning...pic overload!


It all started with a little storage building full of oil stains...


A porch was added...every getaway needs a good porch, right?!


A lot of work left to do, but it's been a fun adventure that I'm sure will continue for many years!


There's a lot of kid driving going on on these dirt roads.


Always wild flowers to pick.


The cactus are starting to bloom.


Many winding dirt road for long walks.



Rolling hills that make you want to venture off the winding dirt road and go explore some more.


Little ones who love the outdoors.



And a wonderful daddy who spends time with his boys doing what boys do.





A little girl who declares it's a no shirt kind of day...gotta love her!!


Because, well...baby isn't wearing one so....enough said!


Dirt..dirt, and more dirt!


Plenty of rides in the back of daddy's truck.


Too much fun for naps.


Hauling water for all the wildlife.


Along with all the fun also came more work in clearing a bit more of the land.


You know boys, right?!


That's what these Texas trucks are for!! 

All in all, every moment spent at this sweet place, is another beautiful memory! 
A good time spent with family, all while continuing to create a place that will be a favorite getaway for many years to come!!

Love,
Naomi

Garden Chair Planter!

I hope you find your day to be a great one today!!!
SUMMER is so close...I can not wait!! 



If your home is anything like mine, end of the school year 
schedules have taken over...but SUMMER is about here!
A time to let go of our busy schedules! (Well...maybe!!) At least there are days of sleeping in, 
enjoying a few lazy mornings lounging with the kids, lots of swimming,outdoor grilling,
oh and for the LOVE of GARDENING!!!

I could go on and on of the JOYS that come along with the way I feel about our summers!!
It's my favorite time of the year!
I want to share a fast fun project for you today...turning an old chair into the perfect planter!



I started with this sweet chair that a dear friend gave me and spray painted PINK!! It had the seat missing, so instantly I knew what a great planter it would become!!


 ...added a coco liner to the seat, filled it with garden soil and planted my favorite plants in shades of pinks, yellows and blues!! I can't wait for it to fill in over this summer!! I first fell in love with a garden chair planter at my sisters house...hers is turquoise!! You want to see it right?! 
...well here is what hers looks like at the moment!!



...and you should see it at the end of summer when it's overflowing with it's goodness!!! 





So if you find yourself looking for a quick fun project, this one was a joy!


Thanks for stopping in...
Love,
Naomi
