How did time pass this quickly? Kelly and I flew to Washington this past weekend to celebrate one of our favorite families. I have been friends with Lissa Whitlock for 14 years and we just watched her Natalie get married surrounded by family and friends. This wedding was all about what has been redeemed, beauty, family, Jesus, love, community and joy. I felt like I was in France as we watched two beautiful people start their own life together. The older I get the more I cherish these friendships and the beautiful roots that have been created. Lissa and Neal, the last clip is my favorite and all it represents. I love you BOTH with my whole heart!

I am truly a creature of habit and love my routine

I am truly a creature of habit and love my routine. This summer has been full of beautiful experiences but my habits and routines have not been able to be honored as much as I like and the exhaustion of that was getting to me. I am an introvert and truly need time alone and extended time at home and in nature. Did I mention that I need to be alone? HA! So, a few weeks ago I was teaching at Belmont University for The Tennessee Arts Academy, last week I was in North Carolina teaching Art as Worship, came home for a few days, headed up to Vail where my mom had rented a cabin for everyone for a few days and yesterday I was washing laundry to turn around and head to a wedding followed by bringing Maddy back to school next week. I was just worn out. Good things but too many good things for this creative that loves days at home with rhythms, rest and making. As I was taking my morning walk I knew I needed a head and heart change because I was feeling anxious, worried, emotional etc. I had a list a mile long of everything for business that I knew needed to get done but all I wanted to do was make my home pretty again and make art. As I was walking and praying the Lord sweetly reminded me that I was not practicing what I teach others all of the time, I have written about and I had just finished sharing at Saturate in NC...that I was feeling the way I was feeling because I was not honoring that I am a maker and I had not been making. Not for business, not to teach, not for someone else...FOR ME. To find beauty just for me. To be present, to find rest, to get realigned, for worship, to hear clearly the voice of the Holy Spirit, to calm my overworked self and to PLAY. So, I took a deep breath and gave myself the space to not do all of the things and made room to fill myself back up with making. For me that looked like organizing my entertaining cabinets, putting together a new linen closet and putting down color swatches of new paints in my sketchbook. It was medicine. I guess I just wanted you to know that the Lord's voice is gentle and if I hadn't taken that walk yesterday BY MYSELF and asked for help I might have missed it.

As a creative, one of my favorite things in the wo

I have been impatiently keeping a really beautiful

I have been impatiently keeping a really beautiful secret. Next fall Stephanie Lee and I will be teaching at THE MOST incredible retreat for @cottageintheoaks @the_cottage_table!

Registration will open next month but Daune has opened up the first to know email list! You can find the link in my highlights under Tuscany.

Join us deep in the Tuscan countryside for a creative art and gathering retreat….as you enjoy intentional community at long table dinners, hands-on creative workshops with our two featured artists, guided excursions, special devotions, time to meander the medieval villages of Volterra/San Gimignano/Siena/Lucca, sip cappuccinos, and enjoy the autumn harvest bounty of chestnuts, truffles, olives, and grapes in this amazing region. There is no better time to be in Tuscany than in the autumn. Tuscany IS Italy. It embodies the very essence of the country. The breathtaking countryside filled with tall cypress trees continually point to heaven as constant reminders and are always in view in this treasured region. Italy is one of our favorite places, and we'd love to share it with you.

We will spend the week with an elegant country estate that is 2,500 years old, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, as our home. The borgo sits in the center of 750-acres of cherished organic farmland and features a luxurious 18th century villa and a hamlet first settled in Etruscan times. Sitting high above sea level, it has some of the most commanding views in all of Tuscany that can stretch to the Mediterranean. In our retreat borgo [countryside estate] there are organic herb, flower, and vegetable gardens, apiaries with organic honey, organic vineyards and olive groves, a luxurious spa, bikes for trail riding, over 8 different walking trails, horseback riding, an art gallery, an onsite herbalist, exclusive toiletries created onsite from the herbs grown in the garden, a farm, exclusive restaurant, and a beautiful infinity pool.

Go to @cottageintheoaks @the_cottage_table for all the details! So, who wants to join us?

Very soon we will be releasing our vintage mineral

Very soon we will be releasing our vintage mineral watercolor sets from @wallace_seymour. We have created each set to represent the colors we see at some of our favorite places we have traveled. This set is Marrakech. We will also have gorgeous charcoals, loose pigments, oils and tempera paints. We never wanted to offer you art supplies and tools you could easily find anywhere else and with @wallace_seymour we have been able to offer you something really special and intentional. Thank you for your patience as we slowly expand our offerings. It is such an honor to be their US distributor. Let us know what you are loving and what you would also like to see us add.

We are on the way to the airport and I promise you

We are on the way to the airport and I promise you that I will write more soon about my time teaching at @saturateglobal for @jessi.green and @parkerrichardgreen. Our friends @cottageintheoaks @the_cottage_table came to take the class but so sweetly gave up their spots so others could participate. They worked instead. Daune and Keith set up, passed supplies out, helped people, answered questions and then helped break everything down and clean up. In the midst of it all Daune captured bits of the workshop and created this video. @jessi.green talks often about wanting people to experience and know the real Jesus. Amen!
