Curio Makeover
For the past few months, pieces of furniture have been coming and going at such a rapid pace that it is difficult for me to get before and after shots of every piece. You may have noticed this curio cabinet in the corner of my room at Lucketts. When I shared the pictures a couple […]
Wuslu Bamboo Mat Giveaway
I tell you…things could not have worked out more perfectly. I posted about my bamboo mat last night and received an e-mail this morning from one of my sponsors, Wuslu, notifying me that MY bamboo mat is the deal of the day TODAY!! (July 27) I swear this wasn’t planned. You can buy it today only, […]
the bamboo mat
Since first showing the bamboo mat in my dining room, I have received tons of e-mails and questions about it, so I thought it was due time to write a “tell all” post. I initially bought two mats wholesale from a friend to use in my tents at antique shows. When they arrived, I couldn’t […]

I think they’re pretty, practical (for the most part) and can really make a space. Here are some of my recent acquisitions, favorites and some tips… […]
some of the perks
There are a lot of perks that come with my job. They don’t include a cushy office with a view or a corporate jet, but those things don’t interest me. I get to, no have to shop. Tough job, huh? Not only do I get to shop, but I get to thrift, yard sale, hunt, […]
look out
First of all, thanks so much for all of your encouraging words yesterday. It’s not that it was a bad day, but I was in a bit of a funk. I’m in my third day of a new healthy routine and I know I’m going through some sugar withdrawals. I also get a little depressed […]
