Last week, I went shopping with my husband for some affordable lights for our house. Shopping with my husband. Four words that should never be uttered together in the same sentence. 🙂
Blue and White Delft Style Thrift Store Find
January 21, 2017 by 6 Comments
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.

I’ve been eyeing jute rugs for a long time, but after seeing so many expensive ones that other bloggers bought, I assumed they were all out of my price range. I was so wrong though!

Well, hello 2017. It’s so nice to meet you! I’m kicking off 2017 with a super-duper easy project in my laundry room. It’s been three and a half years since we remodeled our laundry room. I still love it today as much as I did when we finished it, but I realized the other day that I haven’t tweaked a single thing in the room since then. I’m a tweakaholic, and that wasn’t like me at all, so I was ready to {Read More}

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. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and I woke up raring to get to work … … and then I slammed my finger in a door.

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}

Over the weekend, my daughter and I went on a quick road trip. Along the way we made a few stops along the Spoon River Drive. It’s a yearly fall festival that I’ve attended since I was a child. The fall scenery along the route is beautiful and many of the stops have vendor booths. One of the booths I visited had boxes full of antique postcards. I wish I had time to look through all of them, but they were {Read More}
