Sarah Saw Something

Its time for another installment of Sarah Saw Something, where I share flashes from my week and bits of goodness that I found around the interwebs.  Hope you have a marvelous weekend!

I spent a few beautiful hours this week enjoying a warm breeze at our local park.  My son sat in my lap, and played with my pink scarf blowing in the breeze.  See below:

Here it is on my way out the door last night for a date with my husband. 

Isn't it precious?

Welcome to the "my life" edition of Sarah Saw Something - a weekly feature where I share little odds and ends that I found interesting around the blogosphere this week.   But as I said, this week, I'm highlighting some personal news.  I promise to be back on Monday with my usual boho decor fare and an awesome giveaway!  So stay tuned.

It's been 35 weeks since I began my weight loss jonrney and blog Smaller Sarah.  As of this week's weigh-in, I have lost fifty pounds!  Fifty!  Read more about it HERE.

And my son, Charlie Fighting Bear, continues to combat back the effects of his stroke.  He just started some new therapies and is already making amazing strides in just a few short weeks!  He was recently selected as a beneficiary for an organization called Kenna's Kids.  They are hosting an huge golf tournament as a fundraiser for this year's kids - there are two others in addition to Charlie.  I know most of you are not local, but click HERE to read how you can help Charlie heal from afar.  You'll also be able to read about the other two amazing children who've been selected as 2012 beneficiaries. Your support means the world to me!

This amazing home tour I found at Home and Garden Deco.  Thank you Ann (of Plum Sienna) for the heads up.  You were right... I LOVE IT!

A very cool fashion spread of Julianne Moore as art - found at Anya Adores. 

And this week I ran across this marvelous video of Judy Garland in Summer Stock singing "Come On Get Happy".  It's too wonderful not to share!

Sarah Saw Something - The Christmas Edition

Yesterday my family and I went to Thanks-Giving Sqaure in downtown Dallas to watch a musical event known as Tuba Christmas.  Basically, two hundred plus tuba and euphonium players congregate and play Christmas carols for an hour or so.  Its an annual event, free to the public and completely marvelous.  You can learn more about Tuba Christmas by clicking HERE.

Below is a photo of our Master of Ceremonies:

The conductor was from a local Texas university:

Here's a quick shot of me and Charlie all bundled up!

Merry Christmas one and all!

This post showcasing ethnic textiles by Ashlina, aka The Decorista, made me very happy.

Rashon Carraway, aka Mr. Goodwill Hunting, blew my mind this week by painting (yes painting) a pair of wing back chairs in lieu of re-upholstering.  The best part is that it cost him only $14.99.  They looks amazing.  Click HERE to see the finished product and HERE to learn how he did it.

I can't stop listening to this duet by Gotye and Kimbra.  I love it so much.

For those of you who follow my other blog, Smaller Sarah - I just hit the six month mark on my one year weight loss journey!  I'm excited to report that I'm down 40 pounds and I'm gearing up for my first ever 5K run in March!  If you're interested, you can read more HERE.

And finally, don't forget to enter the Help Charlie Heal Giveaway.  You could win one of five sets of art cards created by my four-year-old son, Walker.  They are awesome!  Click HERE to enter.  Giveaway ends tomorrow night.

This home is awesome (via Bliss).  The architecture is fun, rustic, modern and perfectly frames the environment that surrounds the home.   

This week, I found a beautiful blog (I'm sure I'm the last one to know about it) called Miss Moss.  I was totally captivated by these beach photos from the gahetNA National Archives.  Here are two of my favorites. Click HERE to see more.

Last night my husband showed me this beautiful video from GetUp.org and I can't stop watching it.  We all know it's time.

I fell in love with this Thanksgiving themed magazine cover in the Art Nouveau style from 1894.  Found it at the ever-inspiring Art & Lair.

My mama has a blog about her home in Eastern Oregon and her life as the wife of a locum tenen doctor.  She just posted a very cute and funny story complete with blow-by-blow photos of her recent "shopping" trip to find a bathroom sink for her bathroom remodel.  (And when I say remodel, I mean that she's turning an old canning porch into a bathroom.)  Here's a photo, but to get the whole effect, you really must click HERE to read her post.

And finally, this gorgeous dress is up for grabs in our Shabby Apple giveaway.  It ends tomorrow night, so click HERE to enter if you haven't already done so!
