our yellow house | falls church lifestyle photographer

I loved our house from the moment I saw it. It was old, dusty, and had the most hideous wall paper imaginable, but it was easy to look past all that to its soul. And it has a good one. Sadly, we discovered that we are not the fixer upper types and have made the difficult decision to move on. We have contracts ratified and still have to go through all that real estate transaction rigmarole. So this darling, yellow house, where my kids have spent their “entire” lives, will be ours till the end of the year.  Yesterday, I opened the mailbox and found this wonderfully thoughtful gift from my friend Maggie!  She had it made by a friend specially for my daughter, who loves penguins. The house in the background is ours.  It brought tears to my eyes; this necklace will be cherished forever! Thank you, Maggie! and to your friend, Susannah!
