Hello there! Do you remember my sister Kerri? She is a true fashionista and can make anything look like a million bucks -- she has a great find to share with us today so I’ll let her take it away
****************
Is it me or have you been noticing Hunter boots EVERYWHERE?! I have been dying to get some but non-breathable rubber + humidity = disaster; just saying.
Lucky me, Santa delivered some for Christmas now that we are out of Florida. My boots were a little too small so I went to Nordstrom Rack to return them which led to a fabulous discovery! Did you know that Nordstrom Rack not only carries some discounted Hunter boots, but a line that looks just like them?!
Happy Friday, readers! I am excited to welcome my blog friend, Laurel, from Ducks in a Row to 320 Sycamore today. I’ve known her pretty much from the time I began to blog, and I know you will love what she shares over at her place~please welcome her:
1. The winner of the Withings Body Scale is #29, kt7! Congrats! I’ve emailed you~
2. We were in Home Depot this week (of course we were.) and bathrooms are on my mind since we are in the middle of ours, and this vanity caught my eye for $299
It looks like their version of this PB one, but it’s about 80% less.
I knew I wanted Emily from Remodeling this Life to join our favorite things this year, because she just doesn’t focus on things.
In her own words: “I try to focus on what the beauty of choosing to live simply results in – more time to spend with the ones I love, doing the things I love.”
If I get a bit overwhelmed with the pace and tone in the blogosphere, Emily’s blog is my one of my go-to sighs of relief and calm. You can get to know Emily on her About page and read more about her family’s story of replacing debt and stuff with simplicity and frugality.
Here are a few posts that I love:
I’m with Yanet today over at 3 Sun Kissed Boys!

The Shabby Apple giveaway ends tomorrow!
I am so thrilled that Traci from Beneath My Heart is here today.
If you don’t know her, you will love her and her blog. The best way I can describe Traci is that she is beautiful inside and out and so much fun to be around. Here are a few of my favorite projects of hers:
Look at these colors! I dub Brooke, from All Things Thrifty, the queen of color. She uses it boldly and it pays off: I love the quote on her blog: "Creativity takes courage."~Henri Mattisse.
I love the quote on her blog: "Creativity takes courage."~Henri Mattisse. 
She has a talent (that I am completely jealous of) of bringing bold pops of color together to completely finish a room and give it new life. I am going to try to get my “All Things Thrifty mindset” on as I tackle my kids’ rooms and family room and try to be more daring with color, because I could look at her photos all day. She also has 3 beautiful kids and is expecting #4 in January!
Here are some great questions to get to know Brooke
Did you see what they did on their backyard blockwall?
This girl does wonders with her projector.
Her $12 leaf stenciled wall..such a big impact for so little $$!
She has tons of step by step tutorials as well …so excited to have her visiting today :)

A big, warm welcome to Shelley from House of Smith’s for Day 3 of Favorite Things!
Such an adorable family. Shelley is amazing with all of her ideas and enthusiasm for her projects. You can feel her energy just by reading her blog. Look at this gorgeousness:
Have you seen her splendid Christmas display??
She’s famous for her vinyl creations and her PANTRY!
You can see her home tour here. Thou shalt not covet.
You can see her live (on TV segments!) here
And I love that she’s not afraid to keep it real: A Bit of Crazy
You will love her.
Welcome to the 2nd day of favorite things! I am thrilled to welcome my fabulous friend, Rhoda of Southern Hospitality, over to my place today. Rhoda is classic, beautiful, wise, and kind. She was one of the first to warmly welcome me into blogging. She shares my love of yard sales and has a thrifty treasures linky party every Monday in the spring and summer. I love the stories the layers in her home tell, and she is not afraid to try new things. Mostly, I love her because she introduced me to beadboard wallpaper! Now, don’t you be go going and calling her Rhonda, it’s R-H-O-D-A, without an “n.” :)
Some of my favorite posts of Rhoda’s are: Finding Your Style, A Salon Wall, and 10 Tips for New Bloggers. I’m also jealous that she got to spend some time on PW’s ranch. 
Take it away, Rhoda:
