Romantic Homes Feature + More Sale Items
August 1, 2016 by 30 Comments
Today was one of those amazing mail days that don’t happen often, but the latest issue of Romantic Homes was in my mailbox, and I’ve got a feature in it! I wanted to hug the mailman, but that might have been a tad awkward, so I just acted cool and casual until he drove away. Then I danced all around my driveway. 🙂
Old Barns – A Red One + Aged Music Page Printable
July 31, 2016 by 17 Comments
It’s been a while since I’ve shared any photos of old barns, but one showed up at my door this week, so to speak! Remember the gorgeous old barn that was just down the road from my house? It was owned by my mailman’s father, but was torn a few months ago. Well, a few days ago the mailman knocked at my door. He had 2 little girls with him and wondered if his daughters could pet our “pony”. She isn’t really a pony, she’s {Read More}
Pallet Project for Small Space Storage + Sale!!
July 30, 2016 by 4 Comments
I wasn’t really in the mood to do any organizing, but there’s a rebellion going on in the barn door cabinet in my entryway, and I was in the middle of it. I use the cabinet to hold paint supplies, but the cabinet could only hold so many containers, and I had crossed that line.
When There’s Trouble in the Chicken Coop
July 28, 2016 by 3 Comments
A few days ago, I was working in my she – shed, and I heard a loud squawking coming from the chicken coop. If you aren’t a chicken owner, let me give you a crash course in Chickenese. Of course, roosters crow, and they’ll do it any time of the day. From a distance, crowing sounds quaint. When it’s outside your bedroom window, you start planning a chicken dinner. We don’t have any roosters, because we don’t plan to hatch eggs. {Read More}

If At First You Don’t Succeed … Do Something Else!
July 24, 2016 by 14 Comments
So… I made fabric covered books over the weekend. I didn’t intend to make fabric covered books. I was trying to make a ticking pillowcase. See why I don’t like to sew? A lot of my projects start out as one thing, and end up something else, all because the first project was a failure. I know… how could I mess up a pillowcase? My mom informed me that it’s one of the easiest sewing projects in the world. {Read More}
Shop My Favorite Farmhouse Supplies
July 22, 2016 by 1 Comment
There are a lot of things I’ve bought that I’ve had buyer’s remorse over later, but today I thought I’d share some of my favorite purchases that I don’t regret. None of them are fancy, big ticket items, and I use all of them in my farmhouse style decorating in one way or another, and I’ll explain how I use, and why I love each one. I’ve included links so you can shop for the ones you like as well. Some are affiliate {Read More}
