It has been a stressful week. Monday my youngest knocked a table over on her hand, breaking her middle finger and cutting the other so badly it required three stitches. We came home from the ER just as news was breaking about the Boston Marathon. As a runner, my heart ached for the joyous moment that was stolen away from those athletes and families. As a mother, my mind was full of all the 'what-ifs' in life, how at anytime, something horrible could happen. What has become of the world? How do we face a dark tomorrow?
My only answer is with light. So as I cling to my faith, I am looking for light. Light in a dark world. Let us fill our hearts with prayers for all those affected by Boston, prayers that we might see the light in dark times, prayers that we might be the light for others.
Today, I thought I would share with you
a little light from our weekend...I hope that you do the same, take a moment to share your joys and spread some light for all to see.

Saturday morning we woke up a bit earlier than we usually do on a
weekend and headed out to the Old Red Lumber Yard in McKinney. We have
been redecorating the back patio-- moving to a more 'industrial chic'
look with accents of turquoise and tin. Our new patio is in need of new
lighting, a vintage chandelier to add a feminine touch to the hard
scape. After a quick stop at Starbucks for coffee, muffins and donuts-
we were set to pick treasures.
The "ORLY" as it is called is a cozy outdoor market full of vintage goods arranged in the most adorable vignettes and pairings.
