Welcome To On The Avenue Home Decor & Gifts. Years ago my husband and I bought our first home. It was a very old home and needed a lot of tender love and care. I had the vision of what I wanted and my husband was able to help me bring it to life. As we began building and creating items for our home, we had another idea..... What if we started our own business and offered our creations to others who share the same love and passion for decorating as we do. Here we are, 17 years later, sharing our creations and designs with friends everywhere.

Monday, March 26th

Good Morning and Happy Monday! So, yesterday was my birthday and I feel like I was spoiled from Friday until last night. My family was so cute and thoughtful. I have to be honest with all of you - I hate shopping for clothes!!! I LOVE shopping for home decor items or at hardware stores but the clothes shopping just isn't fun for me. So my sweet Eric found me some darling shirts and some super cute capris. He isn't afraid to march into the clothes store and find someone to help him. I just love him to pieces and am so grateful for such a sweet husband! He has treated me like gold since the first day I met him - many years ago! I Love You Honey!! My sweet kids (with the help of Eric's wallet) bought me a super cool rooster for my kitchen. Chloee did my hair in about 30 braids yesterday after church and I Looked Beautiful! My sister made me a delicious cake (actually 2 because her sweet little three year old decided to try a handful of the first cake before we got any - hehehe). Eric also decided to text all the people on my phone Saturday Morning and tell them it was my birthday and it would be great if they all texted me and wished me a happy birthday. Thank you to everyone who texted, called, emailed and visited. I am so blessed and have the best friends and family in the whole world!!!
