Marcy-Made Headband Giveaway!

Melissa Beene Ford/ Giveaways

I finally acquired my very first Marcy-Made headband. If you’re not familiar with Marcy-Made headbands, you should be! My friend Marcy makes THE CUTEST headbands! See? 

New for fall… ‘Carnival Ride!’ 

I’ve been following her on Facebook and been drooling over her cute headbands for a while now. And what with the half-dozen or so little girls in this house, and abundance of hair accessories everywhere, you’d think we of all people should own stock in Marcy-Made. 

Marcy started making them for herself, and when her friends noticed how cute they were, they began ordering, and business took off! What I love about them is that you can wear them with your hair up or down, and these headbands don’t squeeze your head like hard plastic headbands! My girls and I hate hard plastic headbands for that reason. 




She makes new colors and patterns each season, and can even make custom headbands to match an outfit! At only $10-13 per headband, that’s a steal! (Custom ones may cost more…)

School spirit!


For all you sports fans, Marcy makes headbands to match your favorite team jerseys (here). My first one just happens to be blue, black, and white ~ Grace Community School colors ~ and I daresay every Friday this fall, my new headband will see lots of action at Grace football games, where of course ONE of us will be wearing it with our school spirit t-shirt. Hmm, maybe I should order three more… 

And because fall is just around the corner, and I KNOW you’ll need a new hair accessory to go with all those sweaters and boots, Marcy-Made is giving away one of her new fall headbands to one of my lucky blog readers!

Just check out her cute new fall colors! This one is ‘Plum Pretty,’ because Plum is SO in for 2013…

This one? ‘Haystack.’ Brown and black will go with EVERYTHING in your closet.

And ‘Caramel Apple.’

Those are just a few of her new fall headbands! Go check out her Facebook page here and see which ones YOU like, and then leave me a comment letting me know which of the new Fall headbands you’d like to win! Just FYI, Marcy sent me a free headband as a gift to review, with NO obligation to write a favorable blog post. All opinions are mine. 🙂

    Gorgeous headbands! I really like the first one pictured, with the animal print, but would be perfectly happy with the Haystack one. 🙂

I don’t know who’s big idea it was to strip 80 I don’t know who’s big idea it was to strip 80 years of paint off of this door down to the wood and start over… but that person has no business starting new projects. 😅 My neighbors must have thought this project would never end. *I* thought this project would never end. 😰 If you’re thinking of doing this yourself? Just don’t, ok? Throw the whole door away and buy a new one. 😂🤣 Just kidding.  Old house weirdos like me… we can’t just do things the easy way. Anyhoo… after some trial and error, @sherwinwilliams Celestial is what I landed on, and I have to say… I like it. Periwinkle-ish blue looks great with the yellow house and will look even better when the azaleas are in bloom. Was it all worth it? That’s not important right now. 🤭 Will I do this all again in two years? The magic eight ball says… without a doubt. 👏🏻 I’ve already picked the next color. #gluttonforpunishment #somefoolsneverlearn #oldhouselove #oldhomelove #makinghome #southernliving #gardenandgun #azaleadistrict #tylertx
Spring in the Azalea District makes the winters in Spring in the Azalea District makes the winters in an 80-year-old house completely worth it … what broken pipes, icy hardwood floors and drafty windows? 🤔 I forgot already. #comeonspring #azaleadistrict #tylertx

2022 had its highs and lows for sure, but scrollin 2022 had its highs and lows for sure, but scrolling through my pics from the last twelve months made me realize how blessed and content I am. Prosperity, love, and peace have been ours in abundance, in spite of the pain of losing my dad. The second picture is the last picture of him… the last time I saw him. 💔 But God has been good to my family this year and 2022 is ending far better than it began. 😄 #2022inreview #thanksforthememories
Who wants a Christmas tour of my home? 🙋🏼‍ Who wants a Christmas tour of my home? 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s it. That’s the tour. (Slide two). 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a new trend I’m starting: bare Christmas tree. Lowe’s tag still attached (so quirky and unexpected)! Christmas ornaments still in boxes. Coming soon to an Anthropologie window display near you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every year I think, “next year I’ll do better. Next year I’ll have it together.” And then, here we are on the SIXTH Christmas that we’ve been in this house, the sixth Christmas I’ve dragged our chaotic bunch of Christmas mess out of a chaotic garage I still haven’t unpacked from our move six years ago. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe this year is the year I’ll organize it all and put it back neatly so that by Christmas number 7, it will be smooth sailing. People will flock to my social media to see how I’ve pulled everything off SO PERFECTLY. Next year will be my year. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seems every year there’s less and less bandwidth for all these things. There’s more grief and stress, less money. More demands, less grace. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I put this sign on the wall in my office so I could keep it in front of my eyes: Love. Joy. Peace. And all that. I am SO unlike Jesus most days. So lacking in all of these character qualities. And that’s WITH waking up most mornings and spending my first 30 minutes with God Himself. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How lost would I be without that? Geez. I can’t fathom. I REQUIRE being transformed by renewing my mind every single morning, and even then, responding to people and life with love, joy, peace and patience doesn’t come naturally. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the goal, though. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This weary world needs that from us Believers during this season, more than ever… even more than an Anthropologie-window-display worthy Christmas home tour. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m working on both.
