I’ve decided to get personal with my photography biz and merge Darling Louie with Alissa Saylor Photography. So I’ve recently started posting fun crafts and personal ramblings over there. If you’ve subscribed to Darling Louie you will want to subscribe to Alissa Saylor Photography now to stay in the loop about life and photography happenings.
I love the homey feeling of lit candles. I have them all over my house. What I don’t love is having to track down a box of matches every time I want to light a candle. I hide the box because, well… it doesn’t go with my decor. I thought this would be a practical and cute way to keep my matches in sight and at hand.
I found this jar at The Strawberry Patch last night. It’s a really cool antique and handmade barn sale that is going through tonight. Check it out if your looking for something to do! If you don’t have the time I highly recommend going in the fall when they have their next sale.

I have seen jewelry made out of old spoons… watches, rings, bracelets, even necklace pendants, but this chandelier tops the charts of awesome ways to up cycle grandma’s old silver set. I have found myself digging through boxes of old silverware in the markets lately. I don’t exactly know what I’m looking for. I just like the look, I guess. Something engages me about the intricately decorated handles… tarnished, loved. I like to imagine the dinner parties and family gatherings they would have been a part of over so many years. I’m a dreamer. So of course while I was shooting this home in Nashville I had to stop and admire the beautiful display of vintage spoons… and super cute retro breakfast table. [sigh] I love my job.

You can find anything and everything you couldn’t possibly need at a flea market and I love the whole adventure, even the food that looks like it will kill you just by glancing at it. Florida flea markets are extra special with their exotic pets and mysterious plants that eat insects.

I love soap! I love all the colors and smells and textures. I’ve dabbled in making homemade soap but haven’t succeeded at anything this splendid. The hubs and I [and our camera] spent a fair amount of time playing in the Basin White store in the Grand Floridian Resort the other night. I can’t help but let the crisp white walls lined with colorful scrubs and lotions suck me in every time.
