Goose Creek Candle Company Giveaway
One of the cool things about blogging is getting to share about products I enjoy. Sometimes it’s something I’ve used for years, sometimes I get to try a product I’ve never used or heard of before. When I was contacted by Goose Creek Candle Company, it was the latter. I had never heard of them, […]
The Mustard Seed Workshop & the Bagster Bag
For some crazy reason, my husband and I felt like we needed to get our basement organized, cleaned and functional right after the Lucketts Antique Market and before my Milk Paint launch. I don’t know what we were thinking, but it’s been nice to see things coming together. I don’t know about you, but I […]
the language of color
I am learning all sorts of new things as I’m working on launching a paint line. One of those lessons has been on the universal language of color.

fun with burlap ribbon
A few weeks ago, I received a huge roll of burlap ribbon from burlapfabric.com and I knew it was going to come in handy. I love having something like this in my supply stash. It’s so versatile. So, I kept it sitting in a vintage grocery basket in my office until inspiration hit. I was in the […]
Robbed
Remember my word of the year? It’s CELEBRATE! Well, I have to remind myself about that often when I start feeling stressed and anxious about really good things that are going on. When I was getting ready to go to New York to film the Nate Show, I was almost physically ill fretting over what I […]
