I’ve been so behind on blog reading this summer. I guess that’s a good thing, but it’s been nice to have a little extra time in the week to catch up.
A few favorites from the week:
This project from Jenny is right up on my list of things to try. Spray painted vinyl. GET OUT.
Kristen from The Hunted Interior and her stylish options for storage!
And while we’re on the black and white theme, I made Italian Sub Soup this weekend. Add it your week’s menu, you won’t be sorry.
Unless you’re vegetarian—then you’ll be very, very sorry.
And while we’re on food, I found an amazing blog on Pinterest this week. Save up a good half a day and visit localmilkblog.com.
The food, the writing—all exquisite, and a fellow Tennessean, too!
Jen at Conversion Diary’s post on Why a show about meth dealers made me feel closer to God
And lastly, if you don’t have the new album from The Civil Wars
Incredible singer-songwriters, lyrics that capture the beautiful brokenness of love, and haunting harmonies that beg you to lean in and listen.
What was your favorite thing around blog world this week?
Whoa! Loved the post about Breaking Bad. I just started watching on Netflix and am totally hooked. My mom and I watch together (in different places) and use it to keep up with each other – who knew a show about drug dealers could do that?
Love your blog, Edie! I’ve found a lot of encouragement from it.

I found you a few months when in a slump in my classical homeschooling year. I was wilting in March and I googled for some classical input on 4th graders. Nice Google led me to you. Now God is leading you onward (in schooling…sniff sniff) but I am still here getting life inspiration and hearing words of strength. I loved your first installations on why I am not a feminist. When you have energy again, I am all ears. I think, from my cheap seats, that you have a bit of a unique voice out on the net so keep it up, as God leads, of course.
What does it say that the Civil Wars can make such beautiful music together yet (apparently) not even be speaking? It boggles my mind.
reminds me of Fleetwood Mac!
The Civil Wars- They awaken something in me that I had long forgotten was there-
Thank you Edie-
And I loved your newsletter too-
I’m so sad The Civil Wars are not together now. Their music always gives me chills.
(The newsletter about Buck made me laugh out loud. Seriously. I could give you a real stuffed one if you’d like!)
I love the Civil Wars … and your buck story! lol This blog post had some beautiful eye candy and great kitchen design tips: http://theinspiredroom.net/2013/08/14/kitchen-design-tips/.
I love Melissa’s blog! Yes, lots of eye candy!!
Glad you could appreciate Buck in all his glory!

Oh Edie! I have been wanting to spray paint some vinyl as well! I even went searching for a decent shaped chair this week…which I have no where to put. Just wanted to spray paint something! Also, loving the Civil Wars videos! Their music makes me swell up with emotions. So good!
I think my recent furniture makeover might make people swell up with emotions….hate or love…either way they are feeling something. On your facebook page…you mentioned we could share…so here is my most recent piece…http://www.estuarydesigns.com/furniture-debut/a-blue-ombre-piece-named-tallulah/ I would love to know what you think!
Just listened to the civil wars song that you posted. My goodness how refreshing to hear the harmonies and lyrics. I’m always on the lookout for new music. Thank you for letting us know about them.

I just can’t bring myself to watch that Breaking Bad show. I used to watch Malcolm in the Middle several years ago on Fox and apparently the star guy (Brian something??) on this new show is Malcolm’s goofy fun loving dad! It’s just too weird to me lol! 🙂
Well, I’ll consider it a sign from God that I should go ahead and spray paint some stripes on the tan vinyl that I bought to recover our dining room chairs (little kids + cloth chair seats = ICKY stains). I had it in my mind to do it but got all intimidated when researching spray paints made especially for vinyl, and then when I saw your link to Little Green Notebook’s project….well, it’s a go now.
Teresa’s studio blog post was beautiful this week. 🙂 http://themeadowbrookblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-studio.html
Oh, that song! Beautiful! Her voice is absolutely haunting. Thank you so much for sharing it!
