My new favorite place to visit!!!

It's so much fun discovering sweet shops

when you move to a new town.

I've finally been getting out a little bit and

discovered this JEWEL!!!

Lazy J Mercantile

in Thomaston, GA.

Oh my goodness, Y'ALL!!!

There are so many wonderful treasures to be found!

Of course I had to take a ton of photos

to share with you...take a peek:

 

And then there is this little cutie!!!

This wee one is Boss Baby,

the official shop kitty!

I hope you enjoyed the tour...

It is such a wonderful shop!

Hugs and love always,

Dawn

I'm getting there!

 
Our den is slowly but surely coming along.
I envisioned in my mind how I wanted it to look
and I really think it's getting there!

If you are a minimalist, this look is NOT for you.

I love the collected look.

Shelves filled with sweet treasures to enjoy.

Not tucked away in a drawer or box.

I special ordered two shades for the huge French doors

that are in our den.

I wanted something natural looking so

I went with bamboo!

They arrived today and my dad got busy

installing them.

I'M IN LOVE!!!

They may seem dark but with this blistering,

middle Georgia heat, we needed them.

The look is exactly what I wanted!!!

For those who love bright and white,

this is the polar opposite.

This is not a sponsored post (I wish it was!)

but I found them on Blinds dot com and ordered

2 woven bamboo shades in Hatteras Cocoa.

No cords either! Just lift up or pull down.

It takes a few weeks as them make them to order

but they are certainly worth the wait!!

Here are a few more photos of our small but cozy den.

I'm finally getting things up on the walls!

Yes, I still have more to hang but there's more

empty walls in the house thank goodness!

I'm thankful for the good days.

When my mind is distracted from grief.

I know my sweet mama

sees our improvements and is smiling!!

Thank you always for visiting me,

Hugs and love always,

Dawn
