Hickory Dickory Decks Dream Come True

Back in 2014, I submitted a video into the Hickory Dickory Decks Dream Deck contest. My family and I made a video showcasing the terrible condition of the deck we had, which was literally falling apart. Luckily, we rallied enough votes from family, friends and the public to end in first place. I can't even describe my excitement when I was dubbed the official winner. All I can say is, I was over the moon. 

Unfortunately, there were some hiccups between the city and the company. Every time they tried to begin building, someone would shut them down. Any other company would have given up on me, but Hickory Dickory Decks didn't. For 2 years, they fought to fulfill my dream and finally got the approval we needed. They went above and beyond with kindness. 

Now for the fun part...showing off the beauty of my much bigger deck. I never actually realized how small the old deck was until I got to drive around this beauty. I can turn the corner of the ramp without getting caught, the gate ensures no more nightmares of driving down the stairs and way more room for next years BBQ! I can't wait to decorate next spring!

Looks like we may need new furniture next year.

This gate is beautiful and makes me feel safer.

No getting stuck on the corner.

I hope Hickory Dickory Decks knows how much my family and I really appreciate everything they've done for us. The owners and builders were all super kind and caring. They even worked out in the rain to make sure I didn't miss an appointment. Never in a million years did I expect to have a deck this gorgeous and SAFE! A huge thank-you to everyone involved in making this happen, including those who voted for us. If anyone is thinking of getting a new deck, I highly recommend Hickory Dickory Decks!

Sparano Leather Backpack from Maxwell Scott Review

The picture that caught my attention

Back around the end of May, I discovered a giveaway on TraveloCafe for a stunning Sparano Leather Backpack from Maxwell Scott. I ended up being the lucky winner and wanted to share how in love I am. Not only do I look good with this bag, but this bag looks good with me...just sayin. 

Yes, I needed a flower too!

Maxwell Scott bags is an English luxury brand that was founded back in 2002. Their goal is to fuse modern design and traditional Italian leather. That makes their products a perfect match for just about every person of every age. Believe me, there's lots of beautiful items to choose from for both men and women. 

Located in Tuscany, every bag is handmade by very skilled craftsmen and craftswomen. The quality and perfection is undeniable. At first, you may think the prices are a little high until you realize their true value. Every bag they sell comes with a 25 year guarantee. With that said, you're saving so much more in the long run. 

I've officially decided to ditch my purse and use my new backpack instead. Being in a wheelchair, purses swing all over the place and get caught to everything. This bag however is purse size and definitely a perfect replacement. It fits like it was made for my wheelchair and is nice and secure. No more worrying about losing my things! 

Anyways, before I end this post, I should inform you they're having a sale. They ship worldwide and shipping is free if you spend over £100. Happy shopping!

I saw this picture on someone's facebook and it reminded me of this strange, beautiful dream I had a few years ago.
