It Won’t Fit In My Suitcase, but…
I couldn’t resist checking out a Goodwill while I was in Florida. The lure of never knowing what I am going to find was just too great. What if a sweet old lady dropped off a stash of ironstone? Or someone dropped off some cool farm junk? Or I found something I’ve wanted for a while? […]
Starting a Business – The Nitty Gritty
If you missed my previous posts on Starting A Buiness, My Story and In the (Very) Beginning, make sure you check those out before you read this post. Before we get going, I want you to understand that this post is only a guide. The process is going to be different for every state and every business, […]
Anthropologie & An Honor
First of all, I am pretty giddy today. I woke up this morning, looked at one of my favorite blogs, Centsational Girl and guess what was there. A post about me. This is not a surprise to me, but it was still very exciting to see it there. Kate has an awesome blog and impeccable taste. Her […]
Treasure Hunting
Whenever I take my three year old son with me to yard sales or thrift stores, I tell him that we are looking for “treasures.” It’s gotten to the point where he will point out yard sales to me as we’re driving around on a Saturday morning, because he knows a cool toy might be […]

Sorry to anyone who “showed up” and found their hostess wasn’t there. We’ll pick it up again next week. I found out last week […]

Now, I don’t know why my 1940’s builder thought the residents of this home would not need overhead lighting in their main living space, but he didn’t. So, we needed to change that. My dream would’ve been to install several pot lights in key places, but […]
Oil & Vinegar | homemade cleaner for wood furniture
A few weeks ago, I found a wonderful tip about using oil and vinegar to revive and clean old wood. This is one of those tips that sound really cool, but I was pretty skeptical. It may be the kind of thing that makes a piece look good long enough to snap a picture and […]
Starting A Business – In the (Very) Beginning
“What about http://www.mms2.wpengine.com/? That’s available. You could be Miss Mustard Seed.” When my brother said these words to me almost two years ago, I was not very thrilled at the idea of being Miss Mustard Seed. I pictured “her” as being a short, squat cartoon gardener wearing a straw hat and holding a sunflower. I’m not sure […]
