It’s been snowing at my house the last several days and it’s frigid cold, and although the winter white scene outside looks pretty, I’m ready for the snow to stop. Really ready.
Milk and Cream Round-Up and Finally Going Home
February 7, 2016 by 6 Comments
It’s been three weeks ago today that my youngest son and I got on the train, headed for New Mexico. It was three weeks filled with worry, heart break, and tears (read that update here), and although it was hard to say goodbye to our family, I am so ready to get home, and get back to some semblance of “normal”. If you follow me on Facebook (here), you know we had some car issues on the first leg of our journey home, but {Read More}

I really haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, but I’m still in New Mexico with my family, and it’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride and a difficult time, but I’m not ready to share about it just yet, but I can say prayers for my whole family would be appreciated right now. I did want to take a moment to show you the wooden shutters my husband and I finished for our entryway before I {Read More}

Spice Rack Makeover: Thrift Shop Flip
January 16, 2016 by 8 Comments
I’ve said before that I’m a sucker for gingham, so when I spotted this vintage spice rack, filled with jars that had gingham lids, at a thrift store – it was a given that it was coming home with me. I wasn’t crazy about the color of the wood, and it looked a bit blah, but the shape reminded me of the wall shelf I made over last year with a Milk & Cream Co. image on it, so {Read More}

DIY Farmhouse Decoupaged Galvanized Bucket I promised I’d show you the project I made using one of the milk cap image printables I shared yesterday, so I got up early this morning to take photos of this decoupaged bucket in the kitchen, when the sunlight is so pretty shining through the window.
The Farmer in the Dell and a Farmhouse Cabinet
September 16, 2015 by 24 Comments
Do you remember the old children’s song, The Farmer in the Dell”, how the farmer takes a wife and the wife takes the child and the child takes the cow, and so on, until you get to the cheese, and the cheese stands alone? Well, for whatever totally random reason, writing this post reminded me of that poem, because one thing led to another and another and another. At the end, you’ll see what “stands alone”, like the cheese did {Read More}

Putting together little vignettes in my home is one of my favorite things to do. Usually these vignettes will be on a shelf, the top of my piano desk, or on a dresser. I can quickly change them out for different seasons, or when I have a new piece to add to one of my collections. One of the things I like to collect and display in vignettes is old grocery store product packages. I especially love old egg cartons and {Read More}
Turn a Drawer into a Farmhouse Cabinet

Thanks to all of your for your sympathy over the computer I drowned in the bathtub and the photos that were lost on it. My husband was able to recover some photos, but some months are missing, and I’m still looking through them to see what photos are left that he was able to find since he last backed up the hard drive. I still feel pretty dumb for drowning it, but you all were such good sympathizers, I feel {Read More}
My New Farmhouse Kitchen Window Shelves
July 16, 2015 by 23 Comments
“Remember, you hate to dust”… “Remember, you hate to dust”… “ Remember, you hate to dust”… I chanted that to myself, as I decorated my new kitchen window shelves. My knees aren’t what they used to be, and getting up and down on a chair to clean the shelves above the windows is only something I will do…
