Early in the morning, I’m going on little weekend road trip with my husband, which I’ll be sharing more about later. I have no idea what kind of places we’ll come across, but I’m hoping we’ll discover some great thrift and antique stores along the way, and that I’ll come home with a totally full vehicle. The forecast is calling for snow, so I hope we get through it okay and have an uneventful drive, weather-wise. I spent several days {Read More}

Before I say anything else about today’s post, I want to thank to my husband. Without him, I wouldn’t be sharing what I’m sharing with you today. He helps me bring my plans and visions to reality and I truly couldn’t do it without him. I don’t say it often enough, but I appreciate not only all the work he does for me, but his willingness to even tackle the projects I throw at him at all. I really believe there {Read More}

Antique Ceiling Tile Dried Flower Display
January 13, 2014 by 4 Comments
A friend of mine from church is a florist and I was in her shop one day and spotted a vase full of flowers that were past their prime that she had culled from her stock. I asked her what she does with them, and she replied that she throws them out. If you know me at all, you know I don’t like to throw things out – especially something as pretty as dried flowers. She let me take {Read More}

Did you know January 11th is National Milk Day? I didn’t either…I Googled it to see if there was such a thing, and there is, so I thought I’d share this cute antique milk cap image with you this week. I never tire of seeing all the different graphics found on old milk caps. I’ve removed all the background on this milk cap, so you can layer this image over other images. You can find more antique milk cap images {Read More}
Photo Transfer onto Wood – Repurposed Wood Salvage Coat Rack
January 11, 2014 by 33 Comments
I can’t decide whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing that I enjoy crafting so much and want to try everything, because just when I fall in love with one type of project, I decide there’s a completely different one I’d like to do, so I end up with way too many supplies scattered around my kitchen and I hate to put them away, because once I put something away, I hate to drag it out again. So, {Read More}
A Little More Milk & Cream
January 10, 2014 by 21 Comments
Lest you think I finally got bored of using the Milk and Cream Co. image on things…I haven’t. I was just waiting for the right piece to use it on. When I hung my new/repurposed Primitive Wall Cupboard in my kitchen, I hung it where this paper towel holder/shelf previously had been. It seemed perfect for the Milk & Cream graphic. I wanted to do it as a transfer, rather than using a stencil, so that the shadow border would {Read More}
Pottery Barn Inspired Pillow Shams
January 9, 2014 by 13 Comments
I’m dyeing!!! Not to be confused with dieing, but I do have a new obsession and it’s dyeing.Sometimes inspiration is a domino effect. A few weeks ago, I was oogling over these crochet trimmed pillow shams from Pottery Barn. I really, really wanted a pair of the lovely gray ones, but at $49 each, there was no way I was getting them, although I was seriously tempted. {Pottery Barn} Seeing that photo reminded me that I had 2 lace edge {Read More}
