I never used to really understand all of the crazy hype around the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. But then I wised up! Y’all, it really is that good! If you aren’t familiar with this annual sale, for only a couple weeks, Nordstrom offers shoppers brand new arrivals (upcoming fall included!!!) at sale prices.

Thanks for stopping by to see our summer front porch yesterday. As promised, I’m sharing the simple tutorial for the American flag pallet art today. It’s no secret that I love turning “trash” into “treasure” and this DIY pallet flag is a perfect example. I think by now pallets are probably old news. They made a splash on Pinterest back in… View Post
