Topflappen?
As I was shopping last week for props for my photo shoots, I found this awesome German enamel wall pocket. It’s labeled to use for “oven cloths” but I thought it would make a nice holder for chalk and a cloth (eraser) for the new chalk board wall in my kitchen. I’m quite smitten […]
MMS Wuslu Pick of the Month & Giveaway!
Are you ready for another MMS pick from Wuslu? Well, ready or not, it’s here! I think we’re all getting the itch for Spring, so this is the perfect pick to bring some Spring into your home (without having to pay a fortune for cut flowers and then try to keep them alive.) It is a […]
teal china
I received tons of comments and compliments on my teal china, so I thought I would share a bit more about it. A few years ago, my mom and I went to Virginia to clean out my Opa’s attic after he died. I had been treasure hunting in his attic for years (with permission, of […]
writing on the walls
I’m still plugging away on all things book right now and getting some things done on my house is a nice bonus. I had a chalkboard project I needed to finish for a freelance job and for the book (two birds with one stone), so I had some fun with it today. I have been admiring the amazing work of artist Dana Tanamachi around […]

I normally set out the food buffet style along with a stack of plastic cups and a Sharpie, so guests can find their drink through the evening. For photo shoots, however, I love pulling out my fine china, chargers, antique crystal, silver and […]
more peeks…
Well, the flurry of activity will be prolonged for a few more days…fortunately. My original deadline for the photos has been extended. Whew! I was going to make it, but I was definitely going to be limping to the finish line. I feel like with a few extra days, I can make the photos even […]
Furniture Feature Friday – A Feature & A Link Party
Well, I’ve wrapped up the projects for my book and now it’s down to the styling and beauty shots. I was planning to go shopping for last minute props tomorrow, but I think I might have to do that on Saturday. It’s just been nuts the past few days. I could hardly get out of […]
The Crafting Circle – Elmer’s Craft & Tell
This post is looooong overdue. A few months ago, I received huge box of goodies from Elmer’s and X-acto as a part of the Elmer’s Craft & Tell campaign. It was an awesome project to be a part of, because it was all about bringing people together to make something by hand. It’s sort of […]
