It is SO amazing what ugliness can be transformed with paper! I am just astounded. I confess- I am a paper junkie. Pretty paper “gets me”. Pretty packaging- yes, that too. Pretty paper book- $20 at Joann Fabrics (used a 50% off coupon)- a multitude of opportunities. The temporary (there is also permanent) double sided [...]
Country Living Fair [2011]
My 2 sisters and I had an awesome day out at the Country Living Fair last month. Watch slideshow here. And we made it a tradition (2nd year in a ROW now) to hit Tim Hortons on the way there. I love that place. Not fancy– yet, special somehow… Sisters in line. We really laughed [...]
Repurposed Drink Table.
AFTER. ~~~~~ The other night, I was paging through the latest Country Living… And came across this picture (above). I was so inspired, I got up from the couch, ran upstairs, grabbed a few things, came back downstairs, put it all together, and started drilling. I`ll show you what came out of it and how [...]
White Dresser B & A.
Before: My $10 dresser I bought from a man about to unload it at Save n Serve. (Was that bad?) After. I have never had a redo take so long to completion. I redid her so many times. Tromped to hardware so many times. The 70s drawers pulls. Lets just say that prying off those [...]
Laila and the tree.
How gorgeous is this time of year with all the blooming bushes and trees? This time of year I long for Savannah. We went there on our honeymoon in May– 7 years ago. Lovely flowering trees. And the parks and fountains and shops and the water-front town… If you ever want to experience historic and [...]
Little Family… & Anthropologie.
I thought I`d share a few photos that I sure think are fun. What started out as a weekend wide open (“Lets do something cool!” — said on Friday afternoon) turned into meeting 2-hours-away-friends, a Priceline hotel, and a fun-fun lazy day, strolling at Easton mall and other outdoor (fun to look, but way too [...]
Gracious Hostess.
Happy Friday! All the complaining we do on Monday, well… not today! Cuz it`s actually Friday… I mentioned sewing skirts in the last post or so. Here are 3 pictures of a few completed. Easy. A 6th grader could make them. ~~~ The smallest details are the essence of treasured sewing. ~~~ Sunday outfit. ~~~ [...]
Stochastic Images.
Stochastic. It means random. I can`t shake my head at your ignorance because I know the word either, until 2 minutes ago. We`ll call it our: Word of the day. The following is a dumping off of pictures from my camera I just unloaded. A few weeks back, G and I headed out on a [...]
Full heart, sleeping kids…

Inspiring photographs… men and clothes.
My husband says it`s a bit annoying when I link to other sites and blather on about how much I LOVE everything. (I am flattered that he reads my stuff and offers both praise and insight–*cough!*) Point taken. The reason why I love my blog though is because I can scrap anything I’ve felt on [...]
