However, every now and again I do a project that I end up really liking. One of those projects was the oversized moss letter tutorial.This spring right around the time Lola arrived I showed you all my spring

On Saturday we celebrated the engagement of Quinn and Lindsey and Sunday afternoon we spent down in Colonial Williamsburg. We spend a lot of time down there but I haven't brought my camera lately. I brought it Sunday, though, and got a few shots. It was a

I figured she would enjoy it because she loves anything crafty but didn't realize she

I can't remember the last time I baked something without my helper, Lillie, but she and Jon were on a little "date" at Inflation Nation, so Lola was my helper this time.  I wasn't patient enough and the cake was still hot when I put the glass dome on so it was quite foggy looking.I am not much of a cook so like pretty much

She looks much bigger in photos but really she is so tiny and petite. I imagined she would just be a little mini Lillie but it is amazing how different they already are from their coloring and build to

Whew! I am cramming a lot into one post - sorry! Well, I finally got my living room completely decorated for fall. I am still playing around a bit with the other rooms but I will show you those once they are finally finished. The best part of this room was that the only thing I bought was the fabric for the flannel pillows. I already had everything else. Here are some shots from our living room:(

This weekend I worked on the last few projects for my fall decorating which included a couple of these pillows. I am pretty much done now except for purchasing a few larger pumpkins. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so I couldn't take any photos. I just got a few close-up shots. I hopefully will be able to take some better pictures today and will show you at least one of the spaces tomorrow.

 As I mentioned earlier I had been wanting to add some purple to our living and dining room since Easter but hadn't gotten around to it. I had seen a post by Yvonne at Stone Gable that had me itching to add some lavender touches. I can't find the actual post now but you should definitely head on over and visit her blog. Her tablescapes are absolutely gorgeous! Anyway, seeing how there are still a

 We had quite the busy day here and were surprised in the middle of the afternoon when an earthquake hit here in Virginia. It sounds like pretty much everyone up and down the east coast felt it. It was one of the weirdest sensations I have ever felt. Afterwards Lillie kept asking to go see the flying scarf. Yeah, don't worry - we have no idea what she is referring to either. Somehow in her mind

We are going to be giving one of these hats away, but first we wanted to let you know that after a lot of thought over the past several months, we have finally decided to begin adding sponsors to our sidebar.  We have been getting requests for some time now, but we were a bit hesitant about doing it. I know most bloggers have mixed feelings about the idea.  However, with our store reopening in

Last month I showed you some photos of Jamie and Josh's  Great Room and Mantel. I had intended on posting these pictures shortly after but of course got behind and forgot. Anyway, we took these photos the same day as the other ones which is why all of the accessorizing on the coffee table is exactly the same as before.  Here is what their great room looks like during most of the year: One of the

Sometimes I HATE hotmail! This is the third time in the last 6 months or so that a whole page of e-mails disappeared. This weekend I finally began to attack our inbox which I had pretty much ignored since the last few weeks I was pregnant with Lorelei. It was quite the task but I had made it most of the way through (and vowed to myself to NEVER get that behind again!) when the whole second page

My lovely little Lillian has decided that she HATES to have her picture taken. Pretty much all of the photos on here that were taken on here over the past year I had to tell her that I was taking pictures of the tree behind her or of something/someone else in the photo and then she just runs around and plays and I try my best to get something half-way decent. More often than not I just end up

I didn't really get any good shots of these little books but they were a fun little addition to the party. We used them in the teacups at each setting and then hung them from a branch in the corner - I am disappointed I didn't get ANY usable shots of that! =(  I thought I would still show you all how we made them, though, because they were so easy and inexpensive.

One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to decorate for a party that has a good bit of impact is to make a banner. We had all of the supplies on hand except the ribbon, which was either one of those 50 or 99 cent skinny ribbons rolls.  Even if we had needed to purchase the supplies (an old book and a few pages of black cardstock) it still would have come to under five dollars.

As I mentioned last week, we will be hosting a giveaway each week from now until we open on September 1st. It's a bit late this week seeing how it is already Friday, but better late than never, right? First, though, I thought I would post a few pictures from our trip to my uncle's farm stand yesterday. We have gone up there two to three times a week since we have been up in New Hampshire. Lillie

If you have read this blog for a while now you know how much I love the beautiful shoes by Joyfolie.  When I first was introduced to them by one of our customers I was so excited to go and purchase something for Lillie. Well, I quickly realized it was not so easy to buy a pair. In fact, it was nearly impossible. Every time Jessica listed a new batch of them in her shop they sold out almost

 This past winter Jamie suggested that we have a Jane Austen themed book party this summer while the girls and I were up in New Hampshire. We also planned on having a tiny little party to celebrate Jamie's 25th birthday. Well, it turned out that trying to do projects for two parties in the midst of everything else this summer was completely impossible so instead we decided to combine the two and

 Well, I had hoped to be able to show you all of the pictures from Jamie's Jane Austen birthday party today, but I didn't have time to finish editing the photos or write a real post. Seeing how I did need to announce the winner of the giveaway, though, I thought I would at least show you a couple of pictures and then as soon as I have the rest edited I will do a full post on it.  Also, I

 A few days ago we had the pleasure of meeting Joan and seeing her beautiful home. Joan and her husband, Dan, have been restoring an old farmhouse in the New Hampshire countryside. If you have ever read Joan's blog you know that her house is beautiful. From the moment I first saw photos of her home I fell in love with it. A lot of times when I have something built up in my head when I see it in "

I have discovered that trying to coordinate pretty much anything with two small children is nearly impossible.

***As usual Jason's post requires a bit of a disclaimer. I would like it to be noted that except for when he took Lillie to see a movie I don't think he has ever been in charge of either child and that even while I was editing these photos for him I was bouncing a fussy Lola on my lap while he sat on the couch behind me doing absolutely nothing.***** The advent of July brings a number of things

First, let me warn you that this is the first of several tutorials involving Jane Austen that you will see in the coming weeks. Second, this project is so much easier than you would think. Until this past year I have always avoided projects that involved interfacing because I thought they sounded way too difficult and confusing.

I am thrilled to have Joan of For the Love of a House here to guest post today. I can't recall exactly when it was, but I would say it was sometime either last summer or fall that I first ran across her beautiful blog. Immediately I fell in love with it as she lives in a beautiful farmhouse in New Hampshire that she and her husband, Dan, have been renovating. I am from New Hampshire and most of

This morning I am so excited to have Emily from Jones Design Company guest posting. I love her work and am amazed at all that she is able to get done with four young children! I have been inspired by her for several projects including some framed vintage baby items in Lorelei's nursery. I first saw them in her daughter Audrey's room and fell in love with the idea. She is so talented and her blog

Well, I have coerced another sibling of mine to do a guest post for me seeing how thanks to poor little Miss Lola, blogging is on the back-burner for now. Although, like Jason she is rather sarcastic, her post is a bit more practical and has some beautiful photographs that she took. I am not sure which I am lusting after more: the cookies or the gorgeous bouquet of lilacs! I adore lilacs. I feel

I am a graphic designer, NOT a photographer (although I do absolutely love to take and edit photos), and so please know that this is just a step by step of how I do it and not by any means how it necessarily

Hello everyone. I hope you all are doing well. It has been a long couple of weeks here. I thought I would just try to pop in quickly, though, and give you all a quick update on Lorelei. The good news is we got the pathology report back and the tissue they removed was benign! YAY!!! The bad news is she has not been doing so well since her surgery. We still aren't sure if it is related to the

I may have to let Jason guest post more often! I think he enjoyed reading your comments as much as I did. This summer he is going to be taking over the business side of Dear Lillie. Despite his claims, though, he will not be taking over the artistic side, but maybe I will let him do a guest post every now and again so he can exercise his writing skills and mock me...or maybe he can find another

 It has been a busy last two weeks since Lorelei's arrival with family members coming and going and adjusting to life with two little ones.  Lorelei has been a wonderfully easy baby so far and is the sweetest little thing, but unfortunately she has had a few minor health issues. On Tuesday we found out she was going to have to have surgery. It was scheduled for June but then someone canceled and

It is so nice having the back porch cleaned up! We have eaten dinner out there every night this week. The weather has been beautiful and it is so peaceful eating out there. The only problem is keeping Lillie in her seat. Every time any animal or bird makes an appearance she wants to go play with it! When we first moved here two and a half years ago I had so much fun decorating the porch. That

  Ever since I was little I have always LOVED wrapping gifts. I remember one Christmas back in college where I spent almost as much wrapping each gift as I did on the gifts themselves.  I am pretty sure my siblings (who were around ages 12 - 16 at the time) did NOT appreciate that and wished I had of just spent the extra money on their actual gifts!
