Talk of the Town Link Party #11

Welcome back to Talk of the Town!

First, let's take a look at what you may have missed from your party hosts!

Sunday Verses

Happy Sunday! I love old things--I am in the business of old things, appreciating their beauty and history, while making them new and different. God is also in the business of old things. He loves our worn and tattered, hurt and used selves. He loves to take the "material" He is given, our horrible days and poor choices and make them new and better and fresh every single day! I am so thankful that God "upcycles and repurposes" each new day for us. What an absolute gift and treasure his forgiveness and mercies are! Amen?!

Repurposing the Little Junk

Got junk?  I do, and I love using the bits and pieces to make memo boards and coat hooks like these:

Talk of the Town Link Party #10

Welcome back to Talk of the Town!

First, let's take a look at what you may have missed from your party hosts!

Rustic, Barnwood Hall Tree

If you sell, you must build.  And sell I have been doing, which is great!  And building is what I have been doing, which is also good.  But, I seem to be staying only one short step ahead of the game.  And so for the last month I have been selling items over the weekend, usually on Sundays and then I do the mad dash build on Sunday nights.

During the week I have been focusing on smaller things for my upcoming show.  That needs to change.  Anyway, this is what I built last night, a rustic, barnwood hall tree.

Sunday Verses

Happy Sunday! As a kid I loved singing about Joshua and the walls of Jericho crumbling down. As an adult I see there are so many lessons in this story of the Israelites. There is the lesson showing us that God's ways are not our ways,and we see the evidence of His power. We see that God keeps his promises and see the courage of his people. And, we see that faith works. The Israelites were facing the enemy, they were up against a wall, and God wanted them to march around it and toot their horns. God's children listened. They believed. They had faith. Their faith required them to obey God, to take action, and to do what He wanted, as crazy as it sounded. Our faith needs to follow this same pattern. We need to listen, obey, and take action on what God is calling us to do. And when we do, when we hold on to and act on our faith, the walls and obstacles in our lives will crumble.

The Accidental Footstool

What is the saying?  When you fail, try, try again?  That is the thinking I used when I created this footstool.  

Foodie Friday: Easy, Delicious, Gluten Free Marinade

I love a good grilled piece of chicken or steak.  Vegetarian I am not. 

Rustic Coat Hooks

Y'all, more and more I am becoming a lover of wood and it's natural beauty.  Case in point, these coat hooks I just made.
