Recreating Costume Jewelry
This project is super simple. Like, “embarrassing that I’m even showing you how to make them” simple, but I’m going to insult your craftiness and post a tutorial, anyway. I love vintage costume jewelry, but I’m not about to don my rhinestone clip-ons and mink shrug for a day of furniture refinishing. (That image made […]
Goodwill Luck & Getting Organized
I hit the right Goodwill at the right moment on the right day. The Goodwill store in Westminster, MD is big and always has a lot of cool stuff, but it can be a little pricey sometimes. Today, they were overloaded with furniture and almost every employee looked like a college student who didn’t care about […]
Are you sick of Lucketts, yet?
Well, I’m not quite done with sharing stuff about Lucketts. I know you’ve been reading about my weeks of preparation, the show itself, and the aftermath, but there’s still a little more to share, then I promise I’m going to move on to other things.

I’m ready for my closeup!
You may think, “Miss Mustard Seed hasn’t posted since Lucketts. She must be getting some rest.” And you would think you were right, but you’re not. I’ve been cleaning my house, sewing cushion covers for a special project, and pulling my hair out trying to get some of the Lucketts video to work for you. […]
A Quick Update
Well, girls, Lucketts Day One was a banner day. I sold so much stuff that I had to shop my house for more merchandise. Some of it is going to hurt. See below. Sniff. In addition, I’m bringing my large sheet music wreath, hall table, a caned seat bench, a feed sack upholstered bench, the slipcovered […]
