Recent Antique Finds & Online Shop

Lately I’ve been spending most of my days at home…cleaning, purging, getting myself organized and ready to create new and exciting things. I’ve been trying to get a handle on my e-mail, tidy up some things on my blog, the milk paint website and getting in the habit of looking at my calendar every day, […]
New Product Photos

I have a confession to make. When I announced last spring that I was coming out with a milk paint line, I thought it would be a fun little side thing. I was wrong. It’s become a huge, overwhelming, awesome thing. The line that carries my brand and color designs is now carried in over […]
Preserving a Family Heirloom

A few weeks ago, I shared by True Value on my Facebook and Twitter. I don’t know if any of you watched it, but it is a really beautiful clip about preserving a family heirloom. It gave me tingles and made me misty, because I’m really into that sort of thing. I love pieces with […]

first tethered photo shoot

Stop the World & Ironstone Mugs

It’s one of those times in my life when I wish I could just stop the world for about a week, so I can catch up on things that have been put on the back burner for days, weeks, months and even years. I am on a tear to get things done. I have been organizing […]
Apron Strings & a Fog Horn
First of all, thank you so very much for all of the amazing ideas for color names. I was blown away with the creativity, thoughtfulness and just how many of you pay attention to the things that are important to me. It was touching. I wish I could express it in a more articulate way, […]
