A Prayer for My Dear Friend

Dear Lord, bless my friend who came from Thee, Save her from every harm, Rescue her form every evil and pain.



Guide always her path, And provide her with your Light, That she may not stray, And always find her way back home.




Protect her thoughts oh, Lord, That she may not be anxious, But have the assurance that comes from Your Grace.



Surround her heart with your strength, That she may live in love, And thereby live a meaningful life, Wherever she may be.



May she never forget our friendship, And find it a treasure that does not fade.



May she remember that there is a person she can lean on to, in times of need, In times when she may cry.



And even in those times when I can't be there, To hold her hand, May she always know she's not alone, For You are there, O Lord, The One who has given us this blessing of friendship, The One who will protect its joy forever more.



Love you always,

Now I lay me down to sleep...

A beautiful bed can make you feel like a queen! As my next "big girl" purchase I would love to find a beautifully tufted vintage headboard. Here are some amazing photographs...I could see myself curling up in any of these lovely beds!











"When in the morning light I wake, teach me the path of love to take..."

Sweet Dreams,

A Carolina Snow

"I love snow days, frosty nights, and warm hearts"



It's very rare that we are able to witness a snow fall in Charlotte. However, this morning we were not only lucky enough to see snow falling from the sky, but the entire city was covered in a blanket of snow. A snow day brings you back to your childhood when you would anticipate a day off from school and spending hours upon hours playing in the snow until your fingers and toes are numb. Enjoy this day of pure relaxation, no reason to leave the house, no reason to clean, just lay around in your pj's and be a kid again, thats how snow days are meant to be spent.



"See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky;
On the wall and housetops
Soft and thick they lie.

Look into the garden,
Where the grass was green;
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.

What a pretty sight!"

Happy Snow day !
