painting, patching & a pain in the neck
As I announced last week and have been proudly displaying on my side bar, I am a part of the True Value DIY Blog Squad. So, this week I paid a visit to my local True Value store, Cashman’s Hardware in East Berlin, PA. It’s an awesome store. I walked in and started browsing around… […]
What I did today…
I had a giveaway planned for today, but that has been postponed until next week. I have a couple of great giveaways coming up over the next couple of weeks, so make sure you check back. Since I didn’t have a post planned, I thought I would share what I did today… I made a […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & A Link Party
Oh my. I found some amazing inspiration in the party last week. You girls (and occasional guy) are so good! I’m loving all of the chalk paint, Frenchiness and fabulous finds. Thanks so much to everyone for participating in this party and turning it into the hot place to be for furniture lovers. I hope […]
grain sacks and other things

For a long time, I’ve had this picture in my inspiration file. (Home of Leah Anderson, photographed by Isabel Lang) What always caught my […]
Lucketts Buys
It’s hard for me to go to an antique market and not buy anything. At the Lucketts Antique Market a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t bought anything at the end of day one. I was too busy at my space to run around and shop. The Sunday of the sale was more relaxed, plus I […]
I may just burst
I’ve had a lot of fun new things come my way in the past couple of weeks. I found some great furniture, three large doors that will make amazing signs, some goodies from new sponsors and a very special package all the way from Germany containing these… One of my gracious readers, who lives in Germany, […]
