second landscape dresser reveal
Tha second hand-painted landscape dresser is finished! And, would you believe that it’s sold already! Someone came to pick it up Saturday morning. Sometimes I like to enjoy my pieces for a while, but I was really glad this one was scooped up right away. The buyer loved it when it was just a chalked […]
second landscape dresser | part three
I really should’ve thought of a better name for this dresser than the “second landscape dresser”. Well, I’m still working on getting those creative juices flowing. This happened after Lucketts last year as well. I was just totally drained and it took a while to fill that reservoir back up. It’s filling, though… Slowly filling. […]

I’ve mentioned my distain for the task of doing laundry on more than a few occasions here on the blog and even in my book. It’s not that it’s a horrible, draining, back-breaking task, but it’s never ending. You finish and there are already dirty clothes piling up in the hamper. It’s never done. And […]

After working on it, along with the murals and other hand painted landscape elements we used in our booth for the Lucketts […]
antique haul | 6.27.16

cross-stitch patterns | B & I
Before I get to the cross-stitch patterns, I wanted to share that I actually scheduled some milk paint workshops at the studio! I get asked about it a lot, so I finally pinned myself down and put some on the calendar. Friday, July 15, 2016, is a Milk Paint 101 Workshop from 10:00 am – 12:30 […]
white splint basket
If you’ve been reading my posts over the past few weeks, you know that I have a new-found love for baskets. I collected a lot of them to sell at Lucketts and I enjoyed using them as props around the studio. During one of my shopping trips, though, I bought a basket for myself. It’s […]
