On my sick day, I am perusing the internet for Christmas gift ideas. How fun is that? And though most things I find have me selfishly thinking, "I want this!" at least I am not actually purchasing said items for myself! :) My searches reminded me of a recent friend's business. She is based out of Charleston and makes gorgeous jewelry! Excellent quality and very affordable. Please, check out her items for your Christmas loves.




Happy Shopping with Christine Claire

cue charlie brown christmas music: moving time is here

Everyone is dusting off attic boxes with sharpie-sketches of Christmas trees and tuning their radios to Christmas stations and running extra miles to prepare for the extra holiday goodies. Not the Loys. Normal? not us! We are moving... AGAIN. No Christmas trees, ornaments or snowmen for us. No stockings hung with care nor popcorn on a string.
Oh, and where? We don't know yet.
(In all seriousness, please be praying for us about this one! Thanks!)

Happy Holidays!
