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

Slow down and get some rest. Pamper yourself with your favorite hot drink curled up in your favorite snuggle spot. That flu going around is terrible. You don’t need that right now. Raise your windows if possible to air out any flu germs. Hope you are much better tomorrow.
Get better soon!
Wow!! I feel so honored to be featured among these amazing talents! Thank you SO much!!
Feel better, Layla! Skip the shopping this week and take care of yourself.
These 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.)
I love your posts, I get so much out of them every time!!
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thank you so much for sharing these photos. Especially the fireplace story! I hope you got your flu shot. Get well soon.
