Gaining Creative Momentum
If you don’t like seeing pictures of my living room…avert your eyes. Pictures of my living room is all you’re going to get today. Whenever I finish a lot of work for other people, whether it’s custom stuff (which I really don’t do anymore) or making a lot of things to sell or writing a lot […]
Stenciled Jute Rug
I have a lot of wood floors in my house and rugs can be really expensive…especially nice ones. I suppose I could slap down a piece of Berber, but that’s not exactly my style. I found a jute rug on clearance at Hobby Lobby a few months ago. Jute is good…cheesy leopard print is not. That […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Just A Link Party
As this posts, I am sitting in a theatre seat watching the Broadway tour of Beauty and the Beast. I’m probably softly humming along to “A Change in Me” or “Home” right now…enjoying it immensely.

Yesterday, I packed up all of the ironstone and silver in my house that could be used as accessories and to hold flowers. In addition, I brought anything […]
Vintage Skye Giveaway
One of my favorite things about blogging is meeting talented women who have started their own “kitchen counter business.” I feel such a kinship with them. I recently had the privilege of welcoming one of those talented women, Kristi from Vintage Skye, as a sponsor. She makes beautiful clay knobs and tags, concrete eggs (with […]
