There are 3 words that are music to every blogger’s ears (or eyes). If you are a blogger, I’m sure you know what they are… “You’ve been published.” I received those 3 words in my mailbox this week. A few months ago, I was contacted by Jennifer Jackson Taylor, Asst. Senior Managing Editor for Artful Blogging, and asked if I would be interested in writing an article and having my blog featured in the magazine. Of course, I said yes. Someone pinch {Read More}

I am not a gardener, but I do love antique images for seeds and flowers and have a few to share with you today. I love this Sweet Peas image and think it would make a really cute sign. It came from this advertisement. Here’s a cute advertisement for seeds that I think would look wonderful transferred onto wood, etc. The magazines these images came from were generously sent to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures. Blessings, Angie

After such a big project, I needed to work on something simpler that was quickly rewarding and this is it. For the last few months, I’ve {Read More}

Let me preface this post by saying that my grandfather was a professional upholsterer…I am not. My mother is a retired professional drapery seamstress…I am not. I have marginal sewing skills and no upholstery skills, other than recovering a few chair seat cushions. I’m not a restorer of antique furniture. I’m more of a “try to make it {Read More}
