The holidays are quickly approaching.  I cannot even believe it how time travels.  The Christmas tubs are out of storage and sitting here in the entryway of the cottage.  Deb grabbed everything the last time she ran to the storage unit, but she left the larger trees.  Because I wanted to get everything else decorated […]

Did you catch the Trashed Tuesday piece on social media?  If you are new around here, we started a new series.  Every Tuesday, Deb and I take an item, that YOU (social media) voted on, for us to redo.  Check out last week’s project!  You had the choice between a vintage lamp base or an […]
