another keeper

Thanks so much for all of the feedback on my horse.  I’ve decided I’m going to keep him.  You’re all a bad influence.  You know that?  Or maybe a good influence.  I know I’m going to be glad I kept him.  Maybe we’ll have a “name that horse” contest to win ornaments from my Christmas line […]

if wishes were horses…

When I first started my business about three years ago, I basically had no budget.  Now, my wee little no-budget, counter top business has grown far beyond expectations and beyond what I can handle myself.  I’ve struggled over the last year to know what to drop, what to outsource and how to best prioritize.  The […]

resourceful or ridiculous?

Today, the glittering continued.   I received my box of 10 pounds of glitter over the weekend, so the glittering isn’t going to stop any time soon.  Even my basement sparkles…and not because it’s clean, unfortunately.  I also began working on my feature furniture pieces for the Lucketts holiday open house today.  I started pulling apart […]
