Happy Sunday everyone. We are down at the lake. It looks like our house her may be sold so changes ahead for us. Let’s have some fun and join Annie and Mary Ann for our Sunday Five-Sherry Hart, Cupcakes, Lavender Love.
SUNDAY FIVE-SHERRY HART, CUPCAKES, LAVENDER LOVE
SHERRY HART TOWNHOUSE STYLING
I know many of you follow Sherry Hart (Design Indulgence). Sherry is a talented decorator but she is a master at styling. Yesterday she did a before and after post of the styling, she did for her contractor friend’s daughter’s townhouse. Sherry had to blend three young girls’ belongings into a harmonious mix. She truly is a master.
PATRICIA HUBER FINE ART
I have featured my talented friend Pat Huber’s art before. She moved to Kentucky and has added more Kentucky-centered paintings to her portfolio of late. One of her works was selected for the American Impressionistic Society (AIS) show that will be held in Charleston at the end of March.
You can view her entire portfolio here.
DEAR LILLIE TULIP CUPCAKES
I have to be honest there is not a chance in h… that I would be capable of making these, but I had to share them with you. They are so beautiful. I am sure many of you are gifted in the baking department and could pull these off. I am talking to you Lauren Hattersley and Elizabeth from Pine Cones and Acorns!
OUTFIT OF THE WEEK
I Am really loving lavender lately. I am ordering this Sundance shirt. I don’t like ruffles but love the textural feel of this. It is long enough to wear as a tunic as well. I am also ordering the straw backpack. I think it would be great for flea markets etc. (I think we may be able to enjoy them soon), and love the casual feel of the straw hat from Sundance. I added a couple of pairs of purple spiny oyster earrings to the mix and a linen shawl for a chilly morning at the flea market. You probably wouldn’t wear the Artemis mules to the flea market but couldn’t resist them for the color. You can wear them later!!
SHOP LAVENDER LOVE
MY HOME ON SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
Many of you have asked me to do a home tour. I want to thank the darling Rhoda from Southern Hospitality for featuring my home on her much-loved blog Southern Hospitality. Rhoda asked me if it was okay. I said sure and I forgot about it. She honestly did a better job than I would have. She has never been to my house, knew nothing about the arrangement of the house, or any of the history. She is such a pro, I can’t believe what a good job she did.
Thanks for reading SUNDAY FIVE-SHERRY HART, CUPCAKES, LAVENDER LOVE. Please let me know in the comment section what you like to read about on Sunday and what you don’t. The outfit of the week seems to be really popular, but maybe you are getting tired of it? If you missed any of our past Sunday favorites you can read them here
Now pop over and visit ANNIE and MARY ANN. They have been out and about so they will have some fun favorites this week.
Congrats on the lake house sale, although you are probably now in the “be careful for what I asked for” state of mind. Dollars to doughnuts, your other house will sell this week and you’ll be officially INSANE!!!! Loved the house tour…still no peak at the wine room (pout inserted here). We’ve been in the grips of the Polar Vortex, but nothing like Texas and Oklahoma. But our wine club shipment from CA arrived with popped corks! I’m assuming from shell shock!!! Fortunately they were corks with wrapped tops and no explosion occurred…just sadness! My husband and 2000 other locals got their first shot Thursday…in the snow!!!! My second will be this week. Fingers crossed on supply chain holding.
Hi Patricia
Hip hip hooray! We will be very sad to leave this place, but on to new adventures. It’s not over until it’s over !
And that is a bummer about the wine.
Lovely post. I went over to the house tour & had a good laugh reading the quote about laundry.
Have you shared what you and your husband hope to do when the Lake house and your primary home sell? Perhaps I missed that post?
I have a relative that hopes to travel the USA in a 5th wheel someday in the near future. Is that something you’re hoping to do as well?
Or are you looking to move closer to Summer? Or move out of the country and try being an expat for awhile?
Love the selected items from Sundance. If you ever have a layover or travels to SLC, there’s an outlet store there. Of course, there is a store in SD close to La Jolla. Hope you have a great week!
Hi Mimi
Oh my husband is pining for an Airstream. We honestly do not know what we will do. We are weighing our options!
Am I the only one having trouble opening Classic Casual Home? For the past several Sundays I’ve tried to click your link, and the only thing I get is a post she did before Christmas. I love your Sunday Fives. Feels like a nice chat with girlfriends. Congrats on the lake house sale.
Hi Barbara, I don’t know what is going on yet when I clicked on the link just now 12:20 PST, I get the latest post, 2/21 on Classic Casual Home. I don’t understand why I do and you don’t. I’m not that tech savvy.
Hi Mimi
I think the problem is Safari. Mary Ann is working on it!!
Barbara, have you tried refreshing your screen when you’re on the Classic Casual Home site?
I refreshed the screen, and it worked. Thank you Sarah!
Hi Barbara
Mary Ann is aware of the problem. I will speak with her today, but I am guessing it is fixed!
Thank you Sarah!!
Hi Barbara
I hope it is working for you now. Sorry I got tied up yesterday with appointments and real estate paperwork!!
You are so right about Rhoda’s tour of your home..just perfect! Question about the two CORAL pillows in the family room..am looking for that color…where and when did you find them?? Have fun at the lake.
Hi Eileen
Those pillows were purchased on Etsy but I am going to have a pillow sale soon and they will be in it!!
Love all your favs, wow on the cupcakes! Sherry has been a fav, fun stuff. Oh my, I downsized last year and am so grateful the journey is a nice memory and we’re thrilled w our 2800 ranch w bonus. Best to you on your journey!
Hi Carol
I am so happy to hear that. If the lake house goes through they purchased it furnished so that move will not be difficult hopefully! This house will be another story. If we get out of jail this summer another barn sale will be in order!!
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your beautiful home and gardens. A couple of the outdoor photos could be framed and hung. Thought they were paintings at first glance. Excited to see what you do next. Hope you plant to continue to blog.
Hi Carolina
I plan to continue to blog as long as you all enjoy reading. I enjoy the community we have created together!
Hi Cindy,
I’ve been following Dear Lillie and her amazing baking skills. These cupcakes and individual cakes are tiny works of art.
I didn’t realize you were selling the lake house as well as your main house. Boy, you are in for some changes. Great luck to you. It will be fun to watch as you find a new abode.
xo,
Karen
Hi Karen
Our lake house had been for sale for a year. We will be sad to leave but it opens up other opportunities. Downsizing is the goal…we shall see!
I like the lavender Sundance shirt. May have to order one!
Hi Linda
I do too. I am not a ruffle person but when it looks more textural than ruffly I like it!!
Cindy! You always find beautiful things that somehow all look like they are curated and it all makes sense. I love that soft lavender shirt! You look amazing in that color! Those cupcakes and anything by Sherry Hart are the best! And the art by Pat Huber! Going to read about your house in Southern Hospitality- because I can never get enough of your beautiful home garden!

Hi Annie
Oh gosh Annie, you are so darn nice! I spend a lot of time putting those outfits together, but I do enjoy it as long as everyone else does!
YES… love your “ outfit of the week”😍. Your choices give me a new perspective and push me to energize my wardrobe! Beautiful cupcakes…to look at and eat…says another “ baking challenged” person😂
Linda
Hi Linda
That’s good to know. It seems everyone enjoys but I just wanted to make sure! You are the best!!
SOLD……………….FOR REAL?!!!
THE LAKE HOUSE!!
WELL, CONGRATULATIONS IS IN ORDER!

Hi Elizabeth
Well saying goodbye to the lakehouse will be bittersweet for sure. We do have new options now!
Hi Cindy. I’m still having trouble with classic casual home connection. Still getting the Christmas post. Just saw that another of your followers having same problem.
Hi Pam
Mary Ann is aware of the problem and trying to get to the bottom of it! So sorry! I am having problems accessing it in Safari but not with Chrome if you want to try that.
