cream of crab, humble pie & venison
On Thursday, my mother-in-law and I snuck away for an amazing lunch and a trip to Lucketts to restock my space. If you’re ever in Gettysburg, PA, you must go to Herr Tavern and savor a bowl of their cream of crab with corn soup. Oh my. Velvet in a bowl. Heaven in a bowl. […]
Junk Bonanza Giveaway!
When I take my sons with me to yard sales, my four year old will often look at the offerings spread out on a front lawn and proclaim, “Aw, this is all just junk.” He’s learning well. What he hasn’t yet learned is that there is just junk and then there’s junk. The good stuff. […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
I learned something today. Do not work out really, really hard (especially during the squat track in a Body Pump class) when you’re later delivering stuff to your room in an antique store that is on the third floor. I just about collapsed carrying a box of stuff up to my space. My legs and arms were […]
blogging & photography
If you take a poll of new DIY bloggers asking what’s on their Christmas list, probably over half would say a nice digital SLR. It doesn’t take long for a blogger to realize the importance of photography in the blog world. The above shot is from a recent Cottages and Bungalows photo shoot. The above picture is from […]
an update and dealing with chippy veneer
Thanks so much to everyone for suggesting I do something special with the WWI mail pouch I found at a yard sale last weekend. I called the National WWI Museum to see if they would be interested and they’re going to get back to me. My mom then sent me a link with information […]
Impervo Review
You girls are so amazing. I have been laughing so hard at some of the suggested names for my cow. You’ve also shared some wonderful stories and beautiful names of special women in your lives. It’s been so fun for me to read. Thanks to all who have participated. The contest is open until midnight […]
Name that cow and win!
Somehow I don’t think this is going to become a crazy popular game show anytime soon. Imagine with me… a “Price is Right” girl in a spandex jumper leading out a jersey cow, chewing her cud (the cow, not the girl), parading in front of the contestants and audience. The host points to a girl behind a […]
decorating for two (or more)
AKA…when the husband/wife/significant other/roomie says, “No.” I get a lot of labor intensive, kinda crazy ideas that I would like to do to our house. I informed my husband a few years ago that if I’m ever sitting quietly, looking around a room, he didn’t need to wonder what I was thinking about. 99% of the […]
