I did so much whining about the cold during winter, that I figured I should try to give equal time singing the praises of spring. I’m also trying to capture my beautiful country road in photos in all four seasons, and today was the most gorgeous day to take photos. The weather was absolutely perfect, the birds were chirping, and on a day like this, all seems completely right with the world. This image is available as a printable without my {Read More}

God be with You antique hymn page printable
April 18, 2015 by 1 Comment
This old hymn, “God be with You” is from one of my antique hymnals and would make a nice addition to a gift or used on a project for someone who is moving, going off to college, or leaving on a mission trip. I think it would work well printed for the cover of a card, or decoupaged into wood. Click HERE for the full size printable. I hope you enjoy it!
Seed Store Vintage Sign Stencil
April 17, 2015 by 5 Comments
The next vintage sign stencil in my new line is based on an early 1900’s seed store advertisement that has really charming lettering. I absolutely love this one, and could use it over and over (and did)! This stencil includes 2 sizes of the design. The larger size measures about 16″ x 4-1/2″ and the smaller size measures about 8-7/8″ x 2-1/2″. Both options are on 1 stencil, so you can select the size you need for your project. This stencil is available in {Read More}
Farmhouse Friday #2 – Farmhouse Ladders
April 16, 2015 by 18 Comments
This week’s theme for Farmhouse Friday is Ladders, because as you’ll discover, they aren’t just for reaching high places anymore! Ladders work well in many styles of decor, but because of the rustic nature of vintage ladders, they are especially well-suited to farmhouse style decorating. But first, a quick video about Chalk Couture DIY adhesive stencils.

Introducing Knick of Time Vintage Sign Stencils!
April 15, 2015 by 38 Comments
Today is such an exciting day for me – it’s like a little dream come true. Several years ago, I was busy creating signs on a bunch of old windows I had been given, and I mentioned that “someday” I’d love to develop my own line of vintage sign stencils. Dreaming about something is all well and good, but there comes a point when you need to stop dreaming and just do it. After all, dreams rarely come true without {Read More}

Repurposed Drawers
April 13, 2015 by 5 Comments
These 3 drawers came from a totally trashed desk that I bought about 4 years ago. The desk is too messed up to do anything with, so I was the only bidder on it, and I never pass up old drawers that I can get a good deal on – there’s just too many great ways to reuse them.
Decor Steals Design Ingenuity Event – Boxwood Wreaths
April 13, 2015 by 23 Comments
If you’ve visited my blog for very long, you may have noticed that other than Christmas, I don’t do a lot of seasonal decorating. I don’t switch out my pillows for different seasons, and I don’t change my mantel for every holiday. I do love to change things up in my house, but it is’n’t usually seasonally oriented. I prefer to decorate with things that can be displayed year-round and don’t need to be stored away after a season ends. {Read More}
A Road Trip and a Church Steeple
April 12, 2015 by 2 Comments
I’m running on about half a brain cell today, because I didn’t get to bed until about 5 in the morning. I made a last-minute decision to go on a little road trip with my son yesterday. He was running in a night race about 5 hours away from our house, so in addition to 10 hours of driving time, we left several hours early so I could hit some antique stores along the way. It’s been awhile since I’ve {Read More}
Vintage Advertisement Buttermilk Soap
April 11, 2015 by 10 Comments
A few months ago, I purchased a lot of late 1800’s magazines, because they all had beautiful illustrations on the covers and were filled with wonderful images like this vintage advertisement for Buttermilk Toilet Soap. This would be a perfect graphic to put on a glass jar to hold bath salts, cotton balls etc. (image transfer on glass tutorial here). It would also be pretty as an iron on image on a towel. Here’s the full advertisement the image came from. {Read More}
