bunny pull-toy

I know…again with the kid’s stuff, but this bunny pull-toy was just too cute to pass up! I got it at a good price, because it didn’t have its original paint and, unfortunately, someone who wasn’t very artistically inclined tried to paint a face and spots on him. The eyes were big and black with […]
The Chapel Market Preview

Here we are! Right on the brink of the Chapel Market, which happens this Saturday, October 25, 2014. It starts at 9:00 am and admission is $3.00. (The address is 24 Ring Around Rd, Pike Road, Alabama 36064.) I will be set up inside the chapel meeting hall, in the same space I was in last […]

Pine Cone Hill 20th Anniversary Bed & Giveaway

I mentioned earlier this week that a big giveaway was coming up…the biggest one I’ve ever had on my blog. Well, this is it. I started working with Pine Cone Hill and Dash & Albert a few years ago when they sent a rug to borrow for my home office makeover. It was being photographed for […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
I’ve been working away on furniture myself this week, for the Chapel Market, so it’s been nice to take a little break and get some inspiration from last week’s links. Here are a few of the standouts… Danielle from Finding Silver Pennies gives a fall tour of her home and there are so many beautiful […]
