A great weekend!

This past Friday we left and headed to Dallas to visit one of my best friend's and also go to market. I had some vendors I needed to meet with so it was nice to be able to do that while visiting Todd and Michelle.

I can't brag on them enough. Two of the greatest people you'll ever know. I'm lucky enough to call them friends. They are so good to my family. We enjoyed hanging around, laughing and talking until the late hours...we even had one night, the four of us at dinner with no kids! It was nice to be able to hear one another LOL. Thank goodness my kids weren't there; we wouldn't have gotten a word in. Her kids are so well behaved it's scary. Not too much noise...just a football or two flying by your head at the dinner table. LOL
Here is a picture of their youngest Brett. He's so sweet...



I took a few pictures of market so you guys could get a peek at what it's like.. it's so amazing. I love my vendors. They are like family to us. I got to meet Jessica Wiswall the owner/designer of My Vintage Baby. We e-mail back and fourth about business and personal issues. She has actually published my business comments and ideas in several publications! Little ol me? LOL It was so good to finally meet her in person...she's such a Doll. Their showroom ROCKS! It's one of the prettiest spaces I've ever seen!









One night we went to this CRAZY SICK dessert place in Dallas. OMG. I can't even describe how good it was. This place serves custard--I know--but it's GOOD. I got the Red Velvet Cake custard. It had chocolate sprinkles on top. Yumm-o! I'm sad we don't have one in Houston.. but Michelle said it will be our place and we'll go every time we come up! Can we make a trip next week?! Hah!







We got this wild hair and decided to give Michelle's laundry room a makeover! She wanted something girly and fun! It's so cute...she loves it! I love it too! This is the same color my office is going to be! I moved my boys into one room (they love being together now) and the extra room is now my office.. it's going to be gorgeous!

I told her she couldn't pick the colors, or see any of the items we bought for the room. She was super surprised! I love the new cabinet knobs we used! It's my favorite symbol.











Isn't it divine? Who wouldn't want to fold laundry in here?! ;)

And finally I want to do a shout-out to a sweet friend who is also a vendor. She has the most amazing candles you will ever see or smell! They are actually like works of art. These candles are not only beautiful, but they also smell up the entire house. I know this because she gave me samples to try and I've been burning them sense I got home!

Look how beautiful these are...



Best part is, you never have to throw out the gorgeous holder!! These are soy candles so you can just wash out the old ones it gets down too low, and replace it with a refill and still have the gorgeous embellishment! Love that! Beautiful and cost-effective!

Here is a picture of her at her display...she's such a sweet gal!





If you are interested in ordering her candles, you can visit her website HERE

Finally, here is some beautiful nursery decor I picked up this weekend. This is just a small sample of what is offered.. you can even do custom colors!







Ok I know it was a long one today.. hope everyone is having a great Monday! I am so thankful for the life and friends God has given me. I couldn't be happier. God is so good!

LOL....I got that same princess art for my daughter's Paris room we decorated and I'm planning to get that eiffel tower one when I go back to Hobby Lobby! We have the same taste, I think!

I love the candles and the other art that you posted! They are so unique and pretty!! I have always wondered what it would be like to go to market! I bet it was a blast!
