Who doesn’t have an old ugly picture somewhere in their stash?  I got an idea when I saw this picture on Pottery Barn’s website.  I was going to do this exact picture but didn’t want the frame red.  And I didn’t want to make the mirrored look because it looks gray.  And, then I wanted […]

We are officially in Christmas mode here in the woods.  Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing all things Christmas and several gift guides.  I have a few ideas that I cannot wait to share.  We still have several different Christmas trees in storage that I have collected throughout the years.   I will […]

Do you remember when I brought home this barrel top?  It is one of my favorite things.  The first place it landed was in the middle of our little round breakfast table.  I had it all decked out for fall with a lot of my vintage items and some artificial stems.  Barrel tops work perfectly […]

I used to be a BIG crafter. I still like to do a handful of little craft projects each season just to spice things up a bit around here. I’ve shared before that I used to set up a booth at craft shows back in the 90s.  And… my friends and I had a craft […]
