DIY Vintage Chic™
I thought I'd {finally} share a few of the things I brought home with me from the Luckett's market in Leesburg, VA a few weeks ago! While I didn't find any of the items on my original Luckett list aside from from a sign that I pre-ordered, I still found just enough to make me smile. Besides, things like "lavender shutters" aren't exactly a … [Read more...]
Hi, loves. If you have a small kitchen like me, you might also struggle with places to put stuff and keep the clutter to a minimum, (especially if you love to cook and/or have a teeny addiction to all of the cooking "candy" at Williams-Sanoma). Not too long ago, I shared my DIY Wire and Nail Hanging Spice Holder with the hometalk … [Read more...]
I've been somewhat tongue tied (or finger tied) since returning to my blog after two months away. I have so many thoughts to share with you, but haven't been quite able to write them down. Writer's block, I suppose...or my little ones? ;) I keep this blog (and you) so close to my heart that I find myself choosing my words carefully, not in … [Read more...]
I feel like talking planks tonight. My guy and I spent the day looking at flooring options for our family room that is connected to the kitchen through the French doors. It was time. We've been walking around on sub-flooring for oh, 9 months now? We decided to go with finish-grade, maple hardwood plywood planks (a.k.a. smooth maple … [Read more...]
This won't be the first time nor the last that you hear a blogger talk about the wonderful people and opportunities that come into our lives along the way. This post is about an amazing woman that I have come to know and her new blog, Kristen's blog isn't about her though. It's a blog she created with one reason alone: "I hope to inspire … [Read more...]
Oh, heavens. I will try not to write a book of my own here. If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you likely know how much I adore and thank God for Marian Parsons, a.k.a. Miss Mustard Seed. Despite my all of my imperfections, she has always encouraged and inspired me (and so many others) in more ways than she probably knows, and … [Read more...]
Hi, loves. Happy Saturday! I don't know about you, but I have enough ribbon, twine, thread, lace, etc. to last a small village a lifetime. I'm always trying to think of or looking for cute organization ideas {my craft room is desperately next on the makeover list} and came across this idea. Garden Twine Hanger from … [Read more...]
Today has been an all around cool day. I just wrapped up an awesome Annie Sloan workshop here in Boston. (You know I'll share more as soon as I get back to NY!) Tonight, I wanted to let you know that I'm also spending a day at the beach with one of my f.a.v.o.r.i.t.e. bloggers ever, Sarah at the I am so happy to be a … [Read more...]
My sweet Edyn started her very first dance lesson last week so I was, of course, at the ready with my camera. I'm convinced there is nothing cuter than a pair of tiny ballet slippers. {Love the baggy ankles!} Perhaps she'll grow up to be a prima ballerina. (Oh, the thought of it!) Anna Pavlova It's all about her dreams … [Read more...]
To celebrate my birthday today and thank you for waiting patiently for my Etsy shop to reopen, I intended to host a giveaway for some of my wares tonight. But, it's late and I have something else on my heart so I'm going to wait until tomorrow. Thank you all so much for your sweet words about my hallway makeover. I swear, you came out of … [Read more...]
