…all because of Black Friday

I shared a few days ago that we ripped out our fireplace, all because of a great Black Friday deal on a flat screen HDTV. So, we were left with a few holes in the wall, some raw drywall and a patch of plywood on the floor. The pressure was on to find something to […]

It’s that time again! Once a month, I get to pick something I love and have it featured for sale as the Wuslu deal of the day. Not a bad job, huh? Here’s the pick for this month…this super cute, antique-looking wagon. Oh, I love this thing. Given that this is a reproduction, it has […]
an update & acquisitions

I finally read through all of the comments from the announcement post about my upcoming book. Wow…thanks so much. Getting started is a little overwhelming and all of that encouragement gave me a huge boost. I had my first photo shoot for the book yesterday and it was also encouraging to me. As I started […]

Bliss Farm Antiques Giveaway

Today was packed. I drove out to Lancaster with Mini to meet a “picker” (Dana) and buy some things from her. There was a farmer’s market and flea market where we met (she picked a great spot), so I purchased some Christmas greenery at great prices and some ironstone. We then rushed over the Hobby […]
Black Friday & My Fireplace

Most people are decking out the mantels right now and getting cozy by their fireplaces. Stockings are being hung and garlands are being swagged… …but not at our house. We disliked this fireplace the moment we looked at our home with the realtor. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good stone fireplace, but this […]
