One thing often leads to another, but in my case, it can lead to another, and another, and another. Do you remember the little clementine box that I turned into a vintage style crate? Recently I added some vintage style signage to it, and I loved it even more. Well, I set that little crate on my kitchen shelf, and as I looked at it, it made me think of something I would really, really, really love to have… an old industrial cart. I {Read More}
4th of July Red White and Blue Patriotic Decor
June 11, 2015 by 12 Comments
With July 4th just around the corner, it’s time to deck the farmhouse with patriotic decor! I’ll admit, I do very little holiday decorating, other than Christmas, so choosing this theme was a stretch for me, but not only did I come up with a new project, I have 20+ more patriotic projects by other bloggers that I think you’ll love! If you missed any of the previous Farmhouse Friday themes, you can find them all HERE. First, here’s a project that {Read More}
Stenciled Drop Cloth Pillow and Down Time
June 10, 2015 by 23 Comments
My stencil sales have been coming in at a somewhat slow and steady pace, which was fine, because it was a pace I could keep up with. Then BAM, as soon as I introduced the Milk & Cream Co. stencil design, orders started pouring in. I wasn’t prepared to get so many orders so quickly and I spent the weekend up to my ears in Milk and Cream. Of course, that’s a very good thing, but by yesterday I was exhausted, and in dire need of {Read More}

1920’s Antique Letter Image and Amazing Grace Sign Winner!
June 8, 2015 by 9 Comments
My apologies that I forgot to announce yesterday who the winner of one of the Amazing Grace signs was. The winner is announced below. Coffee and tea lovers will enjoy this 1920’s antique letter from a wholesale grocer. It has a King Cole Tea image on the top and a Luxor Coffee image on the bottom. I love the font used in the name on the letterhead. This would be a great piece of ephemera to use as part of {Read More}
Old Wooden Barn
June 7, 2015 by 5 Comments
I photographed this old wooden barn on the same road trip as the big big red barn that is my dream barn. I love the well-aged wood and peak roof on this one, and the setting is so pretty as well, with the field in front waiting to be planted. The image without my watermark is available as a free printable HERE. You’ll find all of my barn printables HERE.
Milk and Cream Co. Sign on Stool and Chalkboard
June 6, 2015 by 14 Comments
It’s been more than 2 years ago since I made my first Milk and Cream Co. sign. Since I only had 1 antique window like that, I started making them on glass photo frames. And they sold, and they sold, and they sold, and to date I’ve made almost 50 more of them! Finally I realized that since other people love the design as much as I do, it was time to make make it available as a reusable stencil so anyone {Read More}

Outdoor Spaces Welcome Home Summer Tour
June 4, 2015 by 29 Comments
Welcome to my Outdoor Spaces tour! Do you remember that blog post when I took you room by room through my whole house, showing you ever nook and cranny, every organized closet, and all the beautifully decorated spaces in our home? Yeah…me neither. That’s because that blog post doesn’t exist, except in my imagination. There’s a possibility it never will, because my whole house isn’t finished and even if it was I could probably never get every room {Read More}
Because I Can
June 3, 2015 by 15 Comments
I’m smack dab in the middle of raising my 4th teenager now, and there’s a standard answer he gives me when I ask why he did something. “Because I can.” Well, I’m stealing his answer today, because my tin can stash is overflowing again, so it was time to repurpose some of them, and turn them into summmerish decor. I printed a few of my vintage can labels (links to printables below) to add to the cans. You’ll notice that these {Read More}
