Faux or Faux Pas?
I’ve been working on framing family photos lately and today I worked on this frame. Hold that thought a minute. I just had to share that we got about 2 feet of snow here in south central PA. Yes, that’s our van under all that snow and it was barricaded by a 4 foot […]
Latest Thrift Store Yield
I stopped by my local thrift store yesterday and found a beauty of a birdcage. I have been looking for one for a while and I saw this one tucked up on a shelf. Lately this thrift store has gotten a little pricey with certain items and this was $12.00, which is not dirt cheap, but […]

My French Settee
I bought this Country Home book several years ago and it made me want a white, slipcovered French settee. On a side note, does anyone else miss Country Home?
