I have a thing for urns and ice buckets....especially in silver ..... Thrift shops have yielded most of mine.... Sometimes they have pretty details.... And I don't care if they're all tarnished either. This really big one was an especially nice find....in pewter... I mean...seriously, is there any better container for … [Read more...]
Cute Garden Ideas From My Daughter
June 8, 2013 By 29 Comments
Today I'm sharing a post I did last Spring highlighting my daughter and son-in-law's pretty yard! I thought it deserved a re-run in case you missed it!

I get to see my two grandsons often and we go out for evenings with them frequently to movies, dinner, or the … [Read more...]

I dice potatoes, onions, … [Read more...]

Hello out there! I am not in rehab (yet), have not deserted and gone undercover (tempting) nor have I been SO busy I couldn't blog (shame on me). It's more simple than that....life just went a bit out of control for awhile and blogging seems to be the first thing that gets tossed...that's all! I have TONS to post about but in my ever … [Read more...]
Orbital Sander Technique
May 8, 2013 By 16 Comments
The other day I showed you a table that I painted using Powder River Organic Paint in Buckskin. The top of the table ended up with an interesting look which was not completely due to any sort of expertise of mine but rather, just a willingness to "go with the flow" and take advantage of the unexpected. The table started out like … [Read more...]
