Last week I was in the mood to do a little farmhouse kitchen decorating. I made a new sign, did some rearranging and cleaning, and then the most wonderful thing happened.

Blue and White Delft Style Thrift Store Find
My daughter and I went out of town a few days ago, so we hit every thrift store we came across on the way. I love thrift store shopping with her because our tastes are total opposites, so we’re never rivals when we’re out thrifting.

Farm Fresh Milk New Stencil Design
Would you think I’m a grouch if I said I’ll be a bit relieved when Christmas is over and things get back to normal (or as normal as things ever get in my house)? I love Christmas.

I’ve got an upcycled wagon wheel project to show you today. But first can I whine a little? Yesterday was one of those no good, very bad, everything-seemed-to-go-wrong days. It started out great.

Fresh Fruit & Flowers Rustic Centerpiece + Exciting News!
Wanting to make a good impression while my son’s girlfriend was here over the weekend, I figured I’d better do a little grocery shopping. I bought cookies, cake, several kinds of muffins, cheese danish, cinnamon bread … and so she wouldn’t think all we eat is junk, I stocked up on lots of fresh fruit too. 🙂 While I was at it, I bought some pretty roses that I put in an old mason jar on the nightstand in the guest room. {Read More}
