Basket Makeover
I recently saw some antique baskets with numbers and letters painted on them and I just loved their look. I am a big fan of baskets, anyway, and the idea of painted letters and numbers on one had never occurred to me. These antiques inspired me to finally work on a basket I got at an auction a […]
Two Tiered Stand Makeover
Today, people drove for five hours and arrived at my house with a truck full of furniture and other wonderful things and they were thanking me for it. Doesn’t that sound odd to you? My aunt and uncle were thanking me for “taking stuff off their hands.” They are good people. My house is a […]

I am making a mad push this week to get ready for the Lucketts Antique Fair next weekend. I’m pricing, packing, inventory-ing, and finishing some more pieces to take with me. I’ve also been working on posts to answer your “Ask Miss Mustard Seed” questions and those will go up soon. This Chinese checker board […]
