Chapel Market 2014
Last year was the very first Chapel Market in Pike Road, Alabama. I wasn’t sure if I was going to do it last year, because of the distance I would need to travel from PA and I had never even thought about hauling my furniture and antiques that far. After mulling it over with Jeff, […]

So, there was a bit of a misunderstanding last week when I had Jessica from Dear Emmeline as a guest picker for me. The post went live automatically before I had the chance to write an introduction for her, so some readers thought I was talking about my girl’s room (which I only have two […]

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, there’s been a lot of shuffling going on in the guest room. I hand painted a bed in a Bavarian style and started decorating the entire room around it. Then, after I had it for only a few months, I sold it. Now, I like change and I’m fickle when […]
autumn table & more glittered pumpkins
A couple of weeks ago, I showed a more traditional, spooky black & orange fall table with black glass glitter on pumpkins, crows, pinecones and a paper bat bunting. In this setting, I wanted to show glittered pumpkins in a totally different way, so Kriste & I set up a rustic autumn table with a little glam element […]
transferware, a ring mold & more
We are back safe & sound from The Chapel Market, which is quite an accomplishment given our high-mileage van.

It didn’t, though, and brought us there and back home again with a […]

A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from the editor at Cottages & Bungalows magazine. I started working with her a few years ago when she reached out to me, asking if I would contribute a DIY article for one of their issues. After I went into total freak-out-pinch-me-did-she-send-the-e-mail-to-the-right-person mode, I said yes and submitted […]
slipcovered ottoman
Last Friday I was working in the studio on some last minute pieces for the Chapel Market. I usually leave the sewing projects until everything else is done, mainly because it’s not my favorite thing to do. I’m just dragging my feet. I finally pulled out the old ottoman that was waiting for a slipcover […]

We spent the day driving down to Alabama for the Chapel Market. It was amazing, but we were able to fit everything in a 4 x 8 open trailer, a minivan and a little overflow in Kriste’s Civic. I’m pretty impressed with ourselves that we made it work! And prayers carried our van with 202,000+ […]
