“Miss Mustard Seed in a Box” – 2000 Follower Giveaway!
In previous giveaways, I’ve hand painted a custom piece for one winner. I decided to go a different route for this one and put together a box of things that are commonly featured in my home and on my blog. This is a 2000 follower giveaway, so it had to be a box packed full of […]
1886

My Dining Room – The Big Reveal
It’s been a couple of years in the making, but my dining room is finally finished. (Well, for now anyway…and I still need to hem the drapes and maybe find a rug. Ok, maybe it’s not done, done, but it’s done enough to do a photo shoot and share it with you.) So, here it […]
