Basil Pecorino Corn Recipe
I shared this picture of one of our Plated dinners a couple of weeks ago on Instagram and a few people asked for more details on the corn side dish. This Basil Pecorino Corn was so delicious and easy, that I decided to make it again with the summer’s last corn and share the recipe. […]
living with raw wood floors
Back in November of last year, I had finally worked up the DIY gumption to sand down the oak hardwood floors in the front of our house. Once the work was all done, I decided to live with raw wood floors for a while. The polyurethane finish I had applied only a few years earlier was […]
repurposed pram
Do you remember that baby pram I shared last week? Well, now it’s a side table! I spot these pretty carriages/prams regularly while I’m out shopping and they always tug at my heart. Those wheels, the craftsmanship, the generations of babies that may have been pushed in them. I almost always have to stop a minute […]
papier mache horse makeover
You may have noticed that I have a bit of a thing for toy/rocking horses… I don’t find them very often (at a price I can afford), but I get very giddy about them when I do. When Kriste and I were shopping for The Market on Chapel Hill earlier this week, I spotted this […]

When I was shopping last week, I found this… I dismissed it at first, because it’s a little clumsy, but in the end, the finger-hold handles won me […]

Everyone was soaked, booths were waterlogged and it was pretty much misery. Sunday afternoon, though, the rain stopped and I had the opportunity to check out some other […]
how my business began | part 5 | the blog
In the last installment of “how my business began” I glossed over when I started my blog. Starting the blog was like pushing over a domino, starting a chain reaction that has brought me to where I am today. It deserves more than a gloss over, so we’re going to take a few steps back […]
hanging signs & a few more finds
I hope everyone had a wonderful three day weekend! Despite fighting off a cold towards the end of it, mine was pretty good. The boys are playing football this year and had their first game, which was so fun to watch. They both played well and we were proud, cheering parents. My parents kept the boys […]
