Love it. Buy it?
Those of us who have the collecting/thrifting/junking gene know that it’s hard not to buy something we love, especially when it has a great price tag. Then, we all end up at the same place…too much stuff, not enough space, but we still want to buy more. Right? So, what is one with this dilemma […]
Christmas Open House
Today, I crammed another HGTV.com project in when I had the chance and I made the trip down to Wild Rose and Chartreuse. I enjoy both of those shops every time I walk in the door. I could just wander around and look at the displays and beautiful decor. Today was the holiday open house […]
Halloween, Jewelry, Christmas and Cottages & Bungalows
What do all of these things have in common? Well, they are all things that have been a part of my life over the past few days. I’ve been working on Halloween projects for HGTV.com for next year. I’m trying to get it all done before I leave to visit family on Monday. I want […]
Furniture Feature Friday – A Favorite and a Link Party
To be honest, tonight snuck up on me. We had a late dinner, I’ve been working on HGTV.com projects (another day of Halloween decor in November in my household), and I’ve been fiddling with my book. I did visit a bunch of the entries and decided to, for the sake of time, pick just one favorite […]

Junque Swap Rules & My Picks
As I shared yesterday, we had a great time at the Swanky Junque Swap. I received some questions about how we ran it, so I thought I would share our “rules” and an explanation of how the swap would work. This was my first swap ever, so Karen and I just went with what sounded good […]
Swanky Junque Swap
It was a beautiful autumn day in the quiet town of Walkersville, MD, and in a church basement, ten women laughed, cried, ate, and traded their junk. It was a glorious day. The women who attended were Brittanie, Holly May, Candace, Sarah, Karen (The Graphics Fairy)… …another Karen, Holly, Stephanie (and her husband), and Jamie, who somehow […]
