pretty little dresses
I go through different phases when it comes to shopping antiques. There are periods when I am digging through every linen rack and pile in sight and other times when I’m scouring shelves for silver. In one of those phases, just about any antique baby item caught my eye. That phase was in my pre-baby years and that […]
just around the corner…
I’ve still been taking things easy the past few days and it’s kinda been nice to have permission to be a couch potato. I always feel like I need to be super productive all the time, so it’s been a real change of pace to lay in bed watching Netflix the better part of the […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Feature & Link Party
I’m so glad to report that I’m feeling much better. I still have staples that need to be removed early next week (ugh), but I’m able to do some cleaning and straightening up and I think I’ll be able to start painting, shopping, etc, next week. I definitely don’t have the endurance I’m used to […]

Flea Market Finds with Matthew Mead

normalcy in view
After a few days spent mostly in bed, I’m starting to see normalcy in view. The recovery from my surgery (gallbladder removal) has been a little slower than I expected and it looks like it will be another few days before I’m up and about more than I’m down and out. I imagined I would […]
