<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Although I know it is temporary, the weather the last couple days has got me dreaming of summer nights on a pretty patio. We love spending time on ours and usually enjoy our meals outdoors when the weather agrees. Right now it's pretty basic, but I've been blowing up my outdoor decor board on Pinterest with ideas on how to create an even more enjoyable outdoor space. Pretty colors, soft textiles, happy lights, candles, climbing vines...dreamy right?</span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #76838b;">Turning any outdoor space into a comfortable place to enjoy is like adding another room to your home. Even the smallest little space can be transformed into a private little retreat by using things like a privacy trellis and potted plants. In a well covered area even using indoor furniture outdoors can add a unique and cozy touch. Check out my <a href="http://pinterest.com/tgpdesign/outdoor-decor/" target="_blank">"Outdoor Decor"</a> board on <a href="http://pinterest.com/tgpdesign/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> to see some more inspiration I have found.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #76838b;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #76838b;">Do you have an outdoor space you enjoy?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">By this point I was seriously giddy. As a {sort of} grown up mom I am usually the surpriser of girly fun things, so you can imagine my excitement as I opened all of these pretties! I was so happy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Melissa took the time to personalize it all just for me. Check out the lace on my happy mug! Yes, I will be hand washing my mug and leaving the lace on thankyouverymuch. Because a coffee mug with flow-y pretty lace?? I now believe there is no other way to drink coffee. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sweet little tags, a pretty floral clothespin, a perfect sized notebook with an awesome quote...Oh, and do you see the little golden pony? He is magical and I love him. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thanks again Melissa...<i>and Alissa and Caroline! </i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had so much fun putting together Melissa's gifts too! Hey, it's not too late to do something sweet for someone today...it feels as good to give love as it does to receive it. Any day of the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I won a ticket to <a href="http://snapconference.com/" target="_blank">SNAP</a>!! Wha?? I know. I am super excited/nervous. I seriously have social anxiety and rarely put myself in situations out of my comfort zone. (like blogging;)) That is one of the main reasons I wanted to go. To push myself and grow. Also to learn and be inspired. So, if you are going to SNAP let me know!! I will be the shy girl in the corner by herself;) Oh, & I don't have a hotel room either so I will be the <i>room-less</i> shy girl in the corner by herself. I best be figuring that out.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My bestest and I took my baby sis and her friends to see Ed Sheeran the other night. I love live music. It was really fun. I liked his music before, but I love seeing artists live...you get a whole other layer of their talent & artistic-ness as well as feel the energy & soul behind their music. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">He is one soulful, talented little fella.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This happened to me twice yesterday. Two </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">magical</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> moments where time seemed to briefly stop.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I may need to start calculating </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">how much time I actually spend simply, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">thinking. imagining. daydreaming. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I know it can definitely be </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">distracting am sure I could optimize </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">that time into some super productive-ness, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">but I also know some of my best ideas </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and inspiration come during this time. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Lately my daydreams of cottages </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">have become more and more frequent. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have always imagined living in </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">a cozy little cottage in the </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">middle </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">of a big meadow or</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">on a quaint street</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">nestled in a </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">massive amount of </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">trees surrounded </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">by beautiful </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">mountains and countryside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">(oh and don't forget the stream!) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Just a nice stroll from a sweet </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">little town, where I purchase my </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">groceries </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">from a family owned store, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">buy my produce from the </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">local </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">farmer's market each weekend.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">1. <strong><em>what was old is new.</em></strong> Re-purposing a cabinet or cupboard into jewelry storage is a fun way to house your goodies. This is a dart board cabinet I turned into a jewelry organizer. It not only displays and stores my jewelry but it looks pretty too:) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><em> ***If you'd like some tips oh how to create your own, I am sharing how I made it over at </em><a href="http://ragstostitchesblog.com/dartboard-cabinet-jewelry-organizer-a-diy/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Rags to Stitches</span></a><em> today!! Come see how this lovely looked in her previous life...</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">2. <em><strong>not just in the kitchen. </strong></em>Using vintage kitchen items such as pretty bowls, plates, tea cups or tins is another decorative way to keep your accessories contained. Here I've used vintage baking tins. I love the shape and detail of them. Hold your bracelets, watches and rings in the center then hang your earrings around the edge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">3. <strong><em>lazy all the way. </em></strong>This is a pretty vintage lazy susan relish tray my grandma gave me. I love the look of it, but didn't use it much. It is perfect to keep smaller pieces, like rings and earrings separate and you can give her a little spin to easily get to what you need. I see similar wood pieces like this with compartments, all the time at thrift stores.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">4. <strong><em>stack 'em high. </em></strong>Here I have stacked my bracelets and <a href="http://www.rustikchic.com/" target="_blank">cuffs</a> on a replica antique spool candle holder. Using spools like this or any candle holder keeps your arm candy nicely displayed together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">Displaying jewelry like this not only keeps it organized so you can see what you have, but it becomes art or decor itself. Why not display our pretties even when we aren't wearing them? ...Do you have any creative ways you display or store your jewelry? I'd love to see!</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A couple weeks ago I saw a link up on </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.forloveofacupcake.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Manda's blog</a></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> for a postcard swap. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I immediately thought of my 3rd grade </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">pen pal</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">, Kate from Wisconsin. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I seriously would get SO excited to get the mail hoping to find a new letter from my </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">pen pal</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was so </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">intriguing</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> and interesting for me to learn all about her and life and this foreign land called "Wisconsin".;) </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">She lived on a real working farm and I loved reading what her day to day was like compared to mine. I especially love getting pictures... Sort of the same thing with blogging. It's so fun to connect with people you would otherwise never meet and to see places through pictures you may never see. To get a glimpse into their lives. </span><i>or I may just be a nosey stalker and I justify this way. </i></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Anyway, this post card exchange was a fun way to 'meet' yet another fabulous friend...</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was paired up with sweet </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://itsgoodtobequeen13.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Megan from It's Good to be Queen</a>.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> She is awesome, you should definitely go visit her blog.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was so happy to see this postcard in my mailbox...<i>just like 3rd grade;)</i> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I loved the postcard picture. I enjoy traveling to new places and experiencing new cities...I have never been to Ohio so it was great to get a visual of her town as I was reading her note. She shared a great quote with me, and we learned that we are both quote junkies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This was really fun and it makes me want to send more cards and notes through the mail. My kids were crazy jealous of my postcard too, so I thought how fun it would be for them to have pen pals?! I have some good friends from when we lived in other states so I thought we could start some pen pal action with their kids. I told my girls and they were excited... </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Me: "Hey girls, we should get you each a pen pal"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Them: "OKAY!! :)...wait. what's a pen pal, Mom?"</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to take some new pics since my hair is now back blonde...My hair has been dark (the first time in my life) almost 8 or so months. I started this blog and my new shop almost a year ago, so most my pics associated with </span><a href="http://www.rustikchic.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Rustik Chic</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> are with my dark hair.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You may be thinking, so? But I am weird. I feel like that person with the dark hair, although I really did like it, isn't me. I told you. WEIRD. I started having almost like an identity crisis. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Just kidding. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Kind of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> <span style="font-size: large;">It could be partly do to the fact that over the last 8 months I have been completely unrecognized by friends and people I have known for years. For real. Like totally walked past me and then, I would have to say things like, 'hey it's Krista', or 'you probably don't recognize me with my dark hair' Then they would get all embarrassed and I would do my overcompensating thing so they wouldn't feel dumb<em>...</em></span></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>"haha, aww, don't feel bad..it's ok, really no one recognizes me! hahahahahahaha"</em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Also now that my dark is gone the truth is coming out from my lovely girls...'Oh, you look so much happier blonde, your dark hair made you look sad' and 'Mom, I think you look so much younger with blonde hair' Gee, thanks for letting me know that I looked like a depressed middle aged woman.;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Wow, this is probably opening a whole new perspective for you of my over analytical craziness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: large;">In all seriousness though, my opinion is that the only thing that matters is how we feel. I've </span><a href="http://www.rustikchicdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/01/wiww-instagram-shots.html" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">said it before</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: large;"> about clothes and trends..trying to force things that are not authentically you. Although it can be fun sometimes to try totally different things... When you dress, <em>or style your hair</em>, in ways that make you feel good and feel like "you", then <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">people pick up on that self
confidence, self expression, and authentic-ness...and that is attractive.</span> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I have always LOVED rich dark beautiful hair colors!! I have just now learned that I love them on other people better.:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> Ok. The other day we were driving home I saw horse that looked hurt. Frantically, I made my husband pull over to see if the horse was ok and told him we needed to call for some help. It seemed to be sort of high centered over a big tipped tree and was rocking back and forth. I was really concerned it was somehow stuck or had a hurt leg. I was kind of freaking out because I hate to see animals suffering. With further investigating and a few annoyed stares from the horse, my husband apologized to the horse and got back into the truck. He then informed me that the horse was fine and just seemed to be scratching it's 'underside' on the tree. Oh.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My kids went back to school yesterday...it's always bittersweet. I may or may not have shed a few tears.
