loving on a special friend


one of the sweetest aspects of blogging is the precious friendships i've been blessed to make.
some of my closest friends, girls i text multiple times per day
or chat with weekly
are actually friendships that blossomed from within blogging.

in the last week i've been able to meet for the first time (kim)
& spend time in our home ( jill & hutton)
with two friends who are so dear to me.

i'll share about my time with kim & the three peanuts as soon as i get my act together
with seaside pictures,
but first i'll share about celebrating with hutton.
 


hutton & family were scheduled to come to atlanta for hutton's 
follow up, 1 year post heart transplant, visit.
i was going to have the honor of photographing the entire "johnson party of seven".
unfortunately sweet girl got a bug & had to postpone her tests for a few days
which then conflicted with the fam's schedule.
only jill & hutton would be coming.
not wanting to miss a visit with them, we decided to have them over
& celebrate her new heart, one year later!
 

sadly, emi was out of town & wouldn't be here to join in the fun
but madi and caroline and i had a great day preparing for them to arrive.












{hutton's transplant was 7.8.11 by the way}






we could hardly stand it waiting on them to arrive!
 hutton has a couple golden's so she & brinkley were fast friends.



jill brought me one of the special painted hutton-hearts,

priceless!



couldn't you just eat her alive?










gotta love a girl who asks for more buttercream frosting.
girls after our own heart!




i love these precious friends
& consider it a huge honor that we are able to love on them.

if you'd like to continue to follow hutton
you may follow her caringbride page right here.

love from lisa leonard & new home products

so tickled to have a shout out from one of my most favorite bloggers this morning.
thank you lisa leonard!! 

lisa is wearing one of our most popular pieces,


 come take a peek today
as we release some pieces from our ever growing home line.
kitchen towels, journals, stationary,
plush childrens toys
and my favorite,
the wola noni bowls.
These bowls come in a set of three and are perfect for your desk, window sill, side table, and more. 
Each bowl takes up to 4 hours to make by hand. 
They are created out of recycled magazines by a craft project in South Africa that focuses on the needs of HIV+ women and their children. 
Their services aim to ease the burden of HIV by enabling people living with the virus to respond positively and attain the skills to develop their own coping strategies








we had an extra special couple of visitors last night
as we celebrated Hutton's one year since her heart transplant.
i'll share more photos of this precious child
& our fun time together soon!
