New Pillows @ Rebel (Ready, Set, GO!)
**A small correction to my last pillow post**
the two pillows didn't just sell before I had a chance to post about them,
they sold before they even made it to the shop floor!
One was purchased by someone who saw me walking in with them,
and one was sold over the phone by someone who had seen pictures of my pillows online.
CRAZY!
~
With that being said, four new pillows made their way to Rebel today!
Three pillows have ivory ruffles on a natural background,
and one pillow was made with this fab
navy and ivory floral linen with a natural background.
so be sure to get down to Rebel when they open tomorrow,
these pillows aren't going to last long!

Allegan Antiques Market
(oops, this post is almost two weeks late!)
My mom and I headed to the Allegan Antiques Market for the first market of the year.
A major draw being that Rebel.Reclaimed was going to be there!
~
At this time last year, Eric & I had just finished renovating our summer place and needed furniture to fill it, so the market came in very handy. This year neither my mom nor I had any major agenda which actually made it really enjoyable, we could just wander and look at anything that caught our attention.
~
Here's what I walked away with :
lots of vintage buttons purchased from a cute elderly couple.some of the large buttons have already been used on ruffle pillows!
three rusty stars (for $2 each)I'm already wishing I had bought more!
three small blue pharmacy jars to use as bud vases duringour annual Coast Guard party
a small pedestal table to go next to a chair in the corner of my craft room,it may or may not stay white, I'm not sure yet
~
Lucky for me, Dann from Rebel snapped a picture of one of my pillows in action,
it had sold by the time I arrived!

Two More Pillows - SOLD!
two more pillows made their way to Rebel on Friday, and both sold before I even had a chance to post about them! Yay!~
More ruffle-filled pillows are already being made and will be at Rebel by the weekend. You've gotta be quick people, these things sell FAST!
Mother's Day
(Here's the post I had planned for Mother's Day,
see my unplanned post here)
my & my girl, love her!
~
This Mother's Day was extra special as I was celebrating not only being a mumma to my Claire,
but also to a new addition to our family that we're expecting in November!
We couldn't be happier to be adding to our family, and are thoroughly enjoying watching a three year old wrap her brain around pregnancy and childbirth (her questions and observations are hilarious!)
~
Here are my thoughts on this pregnancy so far :
1. I've been nauseous and tired and many days feel like I have the toughest boss on Earth because I'm pretty certain the three year old doesn't care that mumma feels like junk. Thankfully, I'm 14 weeks now and can see the light at the end of the early-pregnancy tunnel coming.
2. Being newly pregnant during Easter candy season was bad. Very very bad.
3. I've seriously considered writing "take nap" on my daily to do list to guarantee myself the satisfaction of crossing off at least one item every day.
4. We've heard the baby's heartbeat two times now, by far the best sound on Earth.
I love this little one already!

Mother's Day : Unplanned Post
Claire & her Great-Grandma, May 2011I had a Mother's Day post planned for today, but our day didn't start out exactly as planned. Our phone rang at 7:15 in the morning, and it was my mom calling to let us know that my Grandma had passed away during the night. Her passing wasn't totally unexpected, but hearing the news still hits hard.
~
We left for church at 8:00 which didn't leave a whole lot of time for the news to sink in right away. At the end of our church service today, we sang the song Solid Rock and the lyrics seemed so appropriate. I can only imagine the amazing Mother's Day my Grandma had, standing before the throne and finally meeting her creator.
~
Happy Mother's Day, Grandma!
Solid Rock
~
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
~
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
~
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
~
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
~
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
