French Daybed Reveal
I apologize for missing FFF last night! My site was down, which you might have noticed if you were trying to link up. So, we’ll suspend our furniture link party until after the holidays. Just save up those furniture projects for a couple of weeks. A few months ago, I bought a caned French daybed […]
wiped out, great gifts & more for sale
Oh my word. My online shop sold out of just about everything, so I spent most of the day packing up orders. I need to figure out how to set up a more efficient workflow. I ended up going up and down steps for each order, so it was my workout as well. Multitasking at […]

I went to get my hair cut and colored today, which is always a treat, but it does take a lot of time. When I got home, I was ready to make the most of the two hours I had before I needed to pick the boys up from school. I walked into the family […]
