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’s very reliable, but it might’ve decided at 202,000 miles as it’s hauling a very heavy trailer, that we’ve asked too much of it. It didn’t, though, and brought us there and back home again with a […]
shooting for cottages & bungalows
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 […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
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+ […]
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 […]
child's cupboard
I definitely have a soft spot for things made for children. The small scale just melts me. My mom and I spotted this little hutch in an antique store and jumped at it immediately. It had been painted in a white latex over oil, so the latex was peeling off and it was a little dingy. […]
