Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling Instagram the previous week. Here are this week’s picks!
The caption under her photo read: “Real quick about this fireplace…we live in a 1920 house and we found it during our renovations. There is a fireplace on the other side, and when we removed the drywall on this side, not only did we find plank board walls, but another fireplace!!! We made it a see thru fireplace, because lets face it, who makes 2 fires back to back? 😆 Also, the coolest, creepiest part- we found 6, very old, concealed shoes around the top of it hidden behind the wall. If you don’t know what that is, LOOK IT UP!”
What a treat to stumble onto this feed! She lives in the Smoky Mountains and her pics are a so fun to scroll through!
I love every single layer of that place setting. The combination of the wood charger with the white plates, greenery and red & white napkin…topped of with my favorite part- the chipboard houses!
YUM!!!
Such a great example of how to subtly spruce up shelves for Christmas!
In other Wednesday-related news: I’m a bit under the weather right now, so I’m not going to make it out for my regularly-scheduled Let’s Go! series today, but I’m hoping to get out to HomeGoods tomorrow! XO

Dec 21, 2017 at 6:36 amThese are beautiful. I, too, love the place setting. And I love the info about the shoes hidden in the fireplace! Wonder if the tradition has its roots in the VERY old customs of (originally!) putting a body in the foundation of a building to ward off evil spirts, and later, the more benign traditon of having someone walk by the foundation of a house under construction so the person’s shadow would be trapped? (I think the bad part of that was the person was then supposed to die within the year.)
