I'm not sure if you noticed but making pumpkins out of every material imaginable is all over the place. I saw gorgeous velvet pumpkins last year on several sites and thought I needed to make some this year. Well (apparently) velvet pumpkins weren't enough. This year I have seen pumpkins made of: -wood -old shirts -burlap … [Read more...]

This is the last post about the vintage market I did at the end of September. The sponsor was Kim from A Vintage Frame Of Mind. HERE is the link for Kim's FB page...go give her a like!

Grain Sack Gateleg Table Makeover
October 23, 2013 By 14 Comments
Back again with another piece of furniture I took to the vintage show in September! This Grain Sack Table turned out really great....IMHO...I wanted to keep it. I found the table at Salvation Army just two weeks before the show. I talk all the time about how my furniture pieces "talk" to me and tell me what they want to look like. Sometimes … [Read more...]
Farmhouse Table Makeover
October 21, 2013 By 18 Comments
I can still remember how I was able to burn the candle at both ends while twirling a baton and jumping on a beach ball..... Those days are LONG gone.... I was at a vintage market the last weekend in September and I swear, it has taken me a whole month to recuperate! So many things were neglected while I frantically painted furniture, made … [Read more...]

Last Saturday we had some company for dinner. My brother, sister-in-law and her Mum, who was visiting from the UK. I cleaned off the dining room table in honor of them.......and I've kept it clean because for the next two weekends we will be having company. All I need is a reason and I can be just as dedicated as all the Suzy Homemakers … [Read more...]
Home Tour (Gisele and Tom)
September 4, 2013 By 13 Comments
Notice how I used Gisele and Tom in the title? Like they are friends of mine or something? I guess when you're VERY rich and VERY famous, you sort of have that problem.... Crowds gather and people yell, "Gisele! Gisele" and "Tom!! Tom!!" I'm sure you rarely hear "Mr. Brady!! Mrs. Brady....or Mr. Bundchen!! " Do you think they become … [Read more...]

August 30, 2013 By 24 Comments
I need to make a serious disclaimer here... This post is NOT about Fall decorating....it's NOT... I have some very dear friends out there in Bloglandia and they mean the world to me. I worry about them. About their projects.. About their families... About their blogs.... About their health.....especially their mental … [Read more...]
