I’m late, I’m late for a very important date. More like a season. Spring is here and up until the past Saturday, my home…well small spaces of it, was still wrapped up in a winter blanket. Warm rustic colors are wonderful in those chilly months following the Christmas season, but since we’ve had green grass [...]
I bet Paul Bunyan never had this much fun in his logging days. So what if he had a blue ox named Babe, I have Rudy, Rover and Mr. Rust. Mr. Rust and I have been having some discussions about my impatience with him, I’m totally going to blame this on my state of sadness [...]
This before and after began as one idea and morphed into another while in the middle of creating…this happens from time to time, sometimes you just have to surrender to those funny little detours, these typically make the journey much more fun and the end result is usually better than the original idea. I think [...]

I don’t get to many garage sales and when I do, I’m not typically one to find the “great” treasures I’ve seen some people bring home and blog about. However, a few Saturday’s ago, the mister and I went out for a few hours and hit about 3 garage sales. I found something at all [...]

I won’t lie to you, it is gratifying to know that someone is interested in what you have to say. A few, including my wonderful supportive husband, have asked why [...]

Are you supposed to wish someone a happy St. Patrick’s Day even if your not Irish? it’s possible that there is a drip of Irish blood in me…that’s what was overheard in my youth, but it’s never been confirmed. So there’s not much excited around our home on this “lucky” day. But I do love [...]
Remember my adventure at this place? The Shop that’s filled with all kinds of rustic loveliness. I bought so many things here Mr. Cline began to wonder if I were from another planet. Or maybe he thought he hit the lottery Who knows what he was thinking…but he was happy to accommodate my flurry of [...]
