Finds for Lucketts
Today I went out antique shopping for the Lucketts fair with my mother-in-law and mom. It’s been a while since I’ve been out looking for goodies, but the Lucketts May Fair is fast approaching and I’ve got to build up my inventory. I saw these cool arched shutters, but didn’t buy them because they […]
vintage linens
Recently, I’ve been buying up some vintage European linens. From France… …Germany… …and I just got a shipment in from Hungary… I’m buying most of them for upholstery/slipcovering projects for pieces to sell at the Lucketts fair, some to sell as-is and a few to keep (like the monogram French sheet.) I just love old […]
Black Bean Burgers
I shared yesterday about my health/weight/etc. and had some requests to share more of the recipes I make, so I thought I would. As I shared, I became a vegetarian last August. I was a vegetarian in high school for a brief period, but to me that meant I ate big bowls of noodles with […]
Owning Up & Living with Limits
I’m going to take a deep breath and own up to something. Since starting this blog, and mostly since my business has really taken off, I have gained 30 lbs. (It hurts just to write that.) A year ago, I had to have my gallbladder removed and it was a wake up call to me. […]
Pine Cone Hill Bedding & $150 Giveaway

Kitchen Reveal & Sources
It’s finally done! Well…you know what “done” means in my house. It means I’m done with it for now. Although, aside from changing paint colors and/or accessories, I don’t think there’s much more I can or need to do to this room. I’ve always been drawn to white cabinets with dark counters (wood or black) […]
A Range Hood, A Cow Head & Angel Wings
I’m having one of those days where I feel like I could write about five blog posts. I just want to chat and tell you what I’ve been up to, what plans I have and some things that are are my mind. The past few days, I’ve been in much more of a “doing mood” […]
Kitchen Stuff
I put some more time into the kitchen yesterday, but my “honorary moms” who worry about me doing to much, will be happy to know that I took a bit of a break today. I did still get some things done, like editing photos and proofreading articles, but nothing major. Yesterday, we got most of […]
