Furniture Feature Friday – Excuses & a Link Party
I didn’t have the time to pick favorites today because… …I was moving all of my Milk Paint into my space at Lucketts. I was so busy trying to get it all done that I didn’t get to have a teary moment until I looked at this picture. God has really blessed this endeavor. […]
say hello to “grain sack”
I don’t know why I left this piece sitting in my basement for so long! It was finished a couple of weeks ago and I finally hauled it up today for a photo shoot. I knew I would have fun with it and I did. It’s definitely a favorite. Say hello to the MMS Milk […]

yard sale finds
I haven’t been out to yard sales for over a month. I’m not sure why, but I just haven’t been in the mood and we’ve had other things going on. This week, though, there was the Rt 30 yard sale in New Oxford, PA, so I set out with my mom, husband, Sean, Emily and […]

If you’re a risk -taker, a work-horse, a dream-chaser or a go-getter, you know that it can be tough to find your limits. You always feel like you can do more and it’ll all work out. Some can, but I think most people who fit into that category think they can and then they get […]
