More finds for the fair…
Those of you who have read my blog for a long time are familiar with the weeks leading up to the Lucketts Antique Market in May. It’s always a frenzy of shopping, painting/repairing/refinishing/upholstering furniture, getting together fillers and old standbys as well. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this event, it’s held once a […]
My first home…
As I’ve been organizing things in my current home, I came across some pictures of the first home my husband and I owned. We had lived in apartments and even my in-law’s basement (which wasn’t as bad as it sounds), but this was the first home we could really work on. And boy, we didn’t […]

I saw these cool arched shutters, but didn’t buy them because they […]
How we installed our undermount sink…
I knew I wanted to install a new sink when we were putting in new counters. The sink we had was an enamel-coated cast iron sink that was full of scratches and chips and water was always hanging around the lip. So, when I was looking for a new sink, I considered a farmhouse-style sink, […]
vintage linens
Recently, I’ve been buying up some vintage European linens. From France… …Germany… …and I just got a shipment in from Hungary… I’m buying most of them for upholstery/slipcovering projects for pieces to sell at the Lucketts fair, some to sell as-is and a few to keep (like the monogram French sheet.) I just love old […]
Black Bean Burgers
I shared yesterday about my health/weight/etc. and had some requests to share more of the recipes I make, so I thought I would. As I shared, I became a vegetarian last August. I was a vegetarian in high school for a brief period, but to me that meant I ate big bowls of noodles with […]
