another week gone by...

Have I really been home for a week already? My, time is flying. I have been spending the last week getting Emily ready for school (my youngest starts high school tomorrow!), finally (!) getting our kitchen back in working order (I am so excited to show you the latest updates on our kitchen... I hope you all like it!) and arranging and rearranging the store. I have so much to share with you all from my road trip in Georgia to the kitchen remodel to a few (easy) craft projects I threw together this summer. I promise to get it all organized as soon as I catch my breadth... Anyway, for now I thought I would share with you how we rearranged the store (again!) and see what you all thought.

How much do you love our new bedding? It makes me want to switch out all my bedding for fall... It also makes me want to dive into that bed every time I walk in to the store. You really have to come see it for yourself...

How's it all look? Come visit us to see even more!

a few things...

This photo of ours has received some love in a blog post over at Ciao, Chessa!: I want to ride my bicycle. Go take a peek.

We also had a lovely write-up over at the Phoenix New Times culture blog, Jackalope Ranch. We are so excited about the nice things they had to say about this little old blog. Go see what you think.

And, finally, we have had so many people asking about the FEED bags and FEED bracelets we just posted about that we decided to make them available in our Willows' online store, so that all our lovely readers, near and far, can have a chance to order one for themselves.

They are already going fast, so hurry and get yours!

Have a lovely weekend! Do you have anything fun planned? I think I am going to go out for a belated birthday dinner and am trying to fit in somewhere seeing the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love.' How about you?

Hope to see you all back here next week!

how could i forget?

We also are proudly carrying the FEED 5 bracelet from FEED Projects.

"The FEED 5 Bracelet is made out of corn-based plastic with a metal charm with the FEED logo stamped on one side and the number 5 on the other. The number 5 signifies the 5 school meals each bracelet will provide. Each bracelet comes in a mini FEED pouch."

They are so cool and we really think you all will be super into them.

The quantities are limited so hurry in to the Willows to pick up your FEED bag and your FEED bracelet soon! Can't wait to see you!

look what's back...

Our FEED bags are back in stock, so come get yours before we sell out again!

Are you familiar with the FEED Project?

It is their mission to reach hungry children through the sales of their FEED bags by raising much needed funds for WFP school-feeding operations and awareness of the problem of child hunger. It is their goal "to help FEED and educate the world's 400 million hungry children".

A fabulous looking bag and a good cause?

What's not to love.

in the meantime...

Lots to share about where I've been and what I've been up to...

I will try to find the time in the next few days.

In the meantime, have you been following Simple Pleasures?

Some of these recipes look too fabulous to pass up.

I mean, come on, who is not drooling over these sweet potato pancakes (a palatte favorite!)?

And those waffles? Mmmmm, good.

So, Christine, what morning should I come over for breakfast?

Thank you so much to all of our wonderful guest bloggers! I thoroughly enjoyed reading all about your No. 1's in Phoenix.

And thank you to the lovely Willows' girls for the sweet birthday wishes! What would I do without you ladies?

We have also received a few emails lately asking for blog posts about specific topics (we are working on some of your ideas), so I thought I would ask everyone, is there something you would like to see here? Let us know!

It's good to be back. But darn, its hot.
