Friday Favorites from The Lisa Porter Collection, Sally’s Baking Addiction, Scott Mecham Wood and More!

August 16, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! I am so happy it is the weekend. I have felt terrible the last two days with chest pain, neck pain and a host of other symptoms. In fact I felt so bad I went to the emergency room at 11:00 Wednesday night and had a battery of tests to see if I was having a heart attack. Thankfully I did not but I  am not feeling much better, in fact I am worse. Now have a host of appointments to see what what is actually the culprit. 

So this weekend I am going to rest, relax, catch up with my favorite blogs and that is it, Hopefully I will be doing it outside in the sun.

And if you don’t finish them all at least you will have a head start on your Fall reading lists!

    Oh Elizabeth I am so sorry to hear about your health problems. I know how scary a trip to the emergency room can be and I'm just so relieved it wasn't your heart. I'll be thinking of you sending lots of positive prayers. I hope you relax and do lots of reading this weekend my friend.

    My friend, what is happening over there?????? WHAT? OK, when you went into emergency, what did they tell you? They ruled out any heart condition, correct?

    Could it be stress? But you've been on vacation? Let me tell you what happened to me just yesterday:

    Yesterday was officially my last day of vacation. I go back to school today to have my first of many meetings. I think that subconsciously, I am worried about it because I had a strange feeling in my neck and ears…a fullness as if my breathing was being cut off. I started to panic, but otherwise, I felt fine. I could walk without feeling faint, etc….It finally went away. I believe in my case, it was stress. I hope that this is all it is for you. I do think however, that doctors often blame stress for EVERYTHING, and that we should get ourselves checked. I had that done a year ago when I was having tingling in my hands and face; turns out I was vitamin D deficient and it went away, but then I have it again! So who knows….

    Please let us know right away what you find out. In the meantime, rest. I know you travel a lot, and maybe you just need to rest.

    LOVE! Anita

    OMG how scary!!! I am so happy it was not a heart attack but sorry you are not feeling any better. Hope you can have a very calm and relaxed weekend, maybe stress? I know it can manifest itself in all kinds of crazy ways. On a lighter note, love all those variations on pizza…yum!! Always on the prowl for good book recommendations!! I so hope you are feeling better SOON!

    Yes, I believe stress could do that. I had a panic attack the other day (my second) and it lasted just about a minute and it was a scary thing. Praying for you 🙂

    Mouth watering, Elizabeth, and I am not sure whether it is for the brownies or for Scot's new plaids! 😀

Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
