another alarm clock jackpot, a pet jug & other finds…
Kriste and I went on a shopping trip/field trip today as planned. It was so fun having someone along to bounce ideas off of, to point things out and to brainstorm a bit. (Mom, you’re great to shop with, too. Had to throw that out there.) Anyway, we throughly combed every aisle at the craft store…filling […]
hand painted antique sled
Before I get to the sled (yes, in August), I wanted to give some details on the yard sale I’m having on Saturday, August 9, 2014. I’m actually piggy-backing on the yard sale one of my friends is having. I really want to flush some things out of my house and this is a great […]

le bon lait, a bed frame & peppers
I have to admit that this purchase was a total impulse buy. A few weeks ago, I was looking through Furniture Feature Friday links to pick out my favorites. As I was scanning through the thumbnails, I clicked on this table makeover inspired by Country Living by Kathy of South of Main… My eyes were immediately drawn to […]
