How was your Thanksgiving? For us, it was nice to have our daughter in the same hemisphere as us for a holiday…something that hasn’t happened in three years. We spent Thanksgiving at her future in-laws house, and I have to say I had the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. Her future brother-in-law recently went to Peru where he operated on dozens of children with cleft
Fancy Smancy Hangers
I was going to name this post ‘what to do if you happen to have 3 hours to kill and a ton of patience’, but I didn’t think that would exactly pull you in. :-/. Stick with me though. This is a nice thing to do if you’re giving someone a special outfit and you want to add that extra something to it. Maybe a
My $3 Burlap Leaf Wreath
A few weeks ago I told you about 10 yards of burlap that I scored at Joanne’s for about 60% off. I had no idea what I was going to do with all that fabric (I still don’t) but here’s the first project I’ve come up with. Of course, it only used about 1/4 yard of the fabric, but hey, every little bit helps. The
A ‘Country’ Cottage
Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day with my friend Denise and seeing her sweet home and captivating neighborhood and I thought I would share it with you. Although I’ve lived a short drive from her home for many years, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing this hidden gem of a neighborhood. I put ‘Country’ in quotes in the title of
My New Kitchen Plate Rack
A short time ago I mentioned I was going to order a plate rack through Etsy. Well, here it is! What do you think? I’m really happy with it. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something simple and not too deep. If you want to store dinner plates on a kitchen rack, it really needs to be a minimum of
Rustic Antique Finds
I’ve got a couple of cool finds I want to show along with some pretty Fall pictures (just in case you haven’t overdosed on them yet) but first I want to tell you about a small change I made to the blog recently that I’m pretty excited about. But before YOU get too excited, it’s not really a big deal. It just is to me
My (HUGE) Project Fail!
There was a chair in our bedroom at the cabin that we’ve had since we purchased the house eight years ago. I call it the ‘Frazier’ chair. I think you can guess why. It was one of those rushed purchases we all get sucked into from time to time. Suffice it to say I’ve never liked it, and when I started reading about success stories
No-Sew Napkin Pillow
This no sew pillow is so easy and fast, all it takes is one ‘how-to’ picture to show you what to do. In fact, you don’t even need that much. The other day I went to Michael’s Crafts and they were having a sale on ribbons and one of the ribbons I picked up was a cute blue and white polka dot pattern that
My Free Country Chair is Ready For Her Close-Up
I got several projects done recently at the cabin. Most were successful, but there was one notable HUGE failure which I will share with you soon, but first I want to show you what I did with that free chair I rescued from the curb a few months ago and I wrote about in this post. As it was, it was actually ok. Maybe a
Celebrating Autumn
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Autumn is so jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I’m convinced it’s nature’s way of teasing us. She’s letting us relish the visual feast before the chill and starkness of winter settles in. Soon the deciduous trees will be bare, revealing their knarled branches that possess a beauty all their own, but for now I cherish the stunning crimson, gold and fiery
