A Scale, Spoons, & Halloween’s Over
After much work, two truckloads of trash, and a van load of stuff for the thrift store, the basement workshop is clean. We still have some organizing to do and a few projects to finish, but it will be so nice to have a clean and organized place to work. I would’ve taken before pictures, but it was terrible. Embarrassing, really. […]
A Desk, an Interview, a Photo Shoot & a Failure
That’s a lot to cover in one post and it’s a little bit of everything, so stick with me. I shared this desk in my post about becoming a vendor at Lucketts. It made its way into my possession on the day of the Junque Swap. I could hardly resist taking a piece of furniture. […]
Two Dreams
My blog designer interviewed me in July and asked for some of my goals and dreams. One was to become a vendor at the Lucketts Store and the other was to be featured in a magazine. I figured these were “wishes” more than goals and I didn’t actively pursue either one. In August, one of the […]
Guest Room Update & Bird Cage Makeover

My Favorite Things – Updated
I wrote a post in September of 2009 about my favorite things. I spotted Donna’s Favorite Things SNS Link Party, so I thought it was time for an update. Here we go… French provincial style and slipcovers Old doors and architectural pieces Antique baby dresses Blue and white and a little bling German glass glitter Ironstone […]
Simple Before & Afters
I have been busy getting some new things priced and ready for the next barn sale at Chartreuse and for a ladies shopping night at Wild Rose this Thursday evening. I finally got around to giving a few things I bought at the Raleigh Flea Market a makeover, so I could add them to the growing […]
