Snippets of home.

The late afternoon sunlight graciously pours into my great room every day. I love the way it brightens up the whole room and makes my house look so pretty. I couldn't resist pulling out my camera and sharing some snippets of my home with you.


Those beautiful magenta flowers are sugar snap pea blossoms arranged in a mason jar. My voice student's mother so thoughtfully gave them to me at her daughter's lesson yesterday. The candy dish (a Lenox piece given to us as a wedding gift) contains the remainder of the Easter candy, which I am doing my part to consume. And I finally printed a bunch of new family pictures to plaster all over the place. Only took me about a month!


Been doing a lot of this lately, teaching five piano students, a voice student and a hybrid voice-piano student (my ever-so-talented littlest sister Emma). That makes seven students in all, eight if you include the sporadic lessons I give to Bubby. It keeps me busy but I love it. I get to bless people with the wonderful gift of music and I get paid to do it. Pretty sweet gig, methinks.


After seeing The Hunger Games and being floored by its excellence, I have decided to re-read the entire trilogy. Blazing through Mockingjay now. And oh, those flowers are fake, just in case you were wondering. And the placemats? A little over a dollar a piece, on clearance at Target.


This is a masterpiece created by Bubby a few months ago in preschool. She says, "It's a rainbow surrounded by storms." That it is. It hangs on my fridge while the vigilant Lego Buzz Lightyear keeps watch. Hasn't gone anywhere since January so I guess that means he takes his job seriously. Either that, or I can't bear to part with my child's artwork. I'll let you decide.

  1. Gurl, I LOVE this post. It is so beautiful. How wonderful that you have a candy dish in your home. How very 60s housewife/The Help. I will remember to do the same someday :)

    I bet you are one great teacher. I loved, loved, loved my piano instructor in high school and still think about her. There is just something fun about learning that instrument!

I like feedback almost as much as I like food.
