Dear, where are my tennis balls?
I have had this beautiful ironstone wash bowl sitting on the floor of my office for months. I pull it out every once in a while to use it for a picture, but I’ve always struggled with what to put in it. It’s just so big. Everything I drop in it shrinks away and just doesn’t […]

From Bad to Worse to Finally Finished
I love it when I finally finish a piece that’s been taunting me every time I go into the workshop. I bought this piece for $3.00 at a yard sale. It was originally part of a vanity that was split in two and then separated from it’s twin. The piece was dirty, the side was damaged and that […]
