Music Pick: Natalie Lungley!

I am seriously obsessed with Natalie Lungley's music. Her voice is so haunting, jazzy, and incredible...all rolled into one terrific sound! Click the video below to check out one of my favorite covers by her. :)

Regina Spektor - "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" Official Music Video

Regina is such a fun, quirky artist; I love her music! She deserves a mention on my blog today! Go check out her music video. It's such a fun, happy song! :)

What a Hoot!

  (This is seriously one of the most adorable things that I've ever laid eyes on! How stinkin' cute!!)


Yesterday was the last day of the Germantown Arts & Crafts Festival. By some miracle of God, I was able to talk my normally reclusive Momma into venturing out with me to the festival! It was quite fun too! I mainly went because I thought that surely the vendors would have a huge selection of Christmas ornaments....nope. There were only a few vendors selling them, and I've made cuter myself, so I held off my search and moved onto other things. That's when I realized one of my favorite local artists had a booth at the festival this year! Joy!! 


For those of you who do not know, Susan Hood is an amazing up and coming artist in the Mid-south area. Her canvas work is pretty awesome, if you ask me! She sells some of her items at Bella Vita under "Art by Susan". Check her out; hopefully you'll show a little love for local artists and buy a piece of her artwork! 


I was thrilled to see so much of her artwork today and to have the opportunity to meet her; she's very nice! I wound up taking home that cute little gem of a painting I posted above. (Those of you who know me well, know how much I love birds!) I decided to hang the owl painting right by my entry way door so that everyone who comes in or leaves can be greeted by its cheerfulness!
