Antique Crib Daybed
Years ago, I spotted an antique crib used as a daybed in a magazine, I think Country Living or Country Home, and I was immediately in love. I hunted for one and finally came across an antique metal hospital crib for $50 at the Old Lucketts Fair (not to be confused with the Lucketts Spring Market). […]
French Daybed
If you’ve been coming here for a while, you’ll notice that things look a little different on my blog now! I actually had this design created over a year ago, but it’s taken this long to get all of the technical ducks in a row to implement the new design and entirely rebuild the backend […]
white ironstone heaven
During my 15+ year love affair with white ironstone, I have come home with some pretty sweet ironstone hauls. Child’s play. Yesterday, I walked into white ironstone heaven at a local thrift store. One of my “picker” friends tipped me off on the treasure trove and I couldn’t resist making the drive to check it […]

loosen up
I haven’t had much of a chance to paint recently and I found I was really missing it, so last week, I set aside some time to put brush to paper. I picked blueberries as my subject and started. I got to an “almost finished” place and realized I just hated it! It was too […]
Me & Mrs Jones
I left early (for me) Thursday morning to fly to Memphis, Tennessee to spend the weekend with Shaunna of Perfectly Imperfect and Stephanie Jones of Me & Mrs Jones. Trips like these always feel like a bit of an interruption to daily routine (I guess trips technically are), but they always end up being a […]
