We had a gangbusters weekend around here, working on my To-Do List, celebrating a few graduations, church, and prepping for my last week with the Little Ones. Whew! But I managed to squeeze in a quick trip to the Junk Day at Woodstock Antique Market on a quest for things for the booth and a fly-by of one of my favorite home decor stores, Casabella's. It was for sure a case of "the early bird gets the worm" at Junk Day... Those frames … [Read more...]
The {Outdoor} To-Do List
May 18, 2012 by · 12 Comments
I finally have a little lower key weekend ahead and it looks like the weather will cooperate this time! Woo hoo! I've been ready to get outside and get working on my outdoor spaces for weeks now, but the triumvirate of pollen, rain, and kid-tivities have been standing in the way. And Lord knows, the weekdays are way too crazy busy to do anything more than a bit of list-making. Yesterday, I took 15 minutes and surveyed the front porch and … [Read more...]

If you've been reading here long enough, you know I'm a non-sewing decor blogger. I'd love for that to change, but I'm not in a big hurry to break out the sewing machine and learn. So when I got a load of this from Laura over at Top This Top That... Source: topthistopthat.blogspot.com via Heidi on Pinterest and this from KariAnne at Thistlewood Farm...

Preschool Cupcakes and Coffee with Mom…
May 14, 2012 by · 15 Comments
Last week we celebrated our preschoolers' moms with a Cupcakes and Coffee spread. This event is a lot of work, but the kids and the moms love it so much, I always feel that it is completely worth it! So I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek of my "other" job... The tables are decorated with the children's gifts for mom: scrapbooks of art collected over the entire year! We save one project each month, then mount them and compile … [Read more...]

Sheet Music Canvases… the Pass It On Project
May 11, 2012 by · 11 Comments
I teased y'all the other day with my Pass It On Project. :-) It evolved over time and provided a little creative therapy for me in the process. I've been wanting to do a sheet music project for quite some time -- and have probably pinned a dozen or so to try. About a year ago, I scored two books of vintage sheet music from Woodstock Antiques and this project seemed the perfect one to use a bit of it. Sheet music is both graphic and … [Read more...]

Last weekend was one of the busiest of late, but I managed to finish my Pass It On projects in the midst of the May Madness... woo hoo! Here's a couple of sneak peeks until I can get them safely en route to Megan of Balancing Home and Lisa of Budget Design Girl. I'm so thrilled these sweet lady bloggers have agreed to partake! This project is one that evolved as I was working on it... I started out with one idea in mind. Wrestled a … [Read more...]
“Owl” Be Seeing You…

Love getting packages, don't you? Check out my latest score from The Foundary, just off the FedEx truck. Doesn't he look at home?? The birds seem to like having him there, too, surprisingly. Do you shop The Foundary? One of my favorite flash sale sites... click HERE for an invitation. I spent the day supervising termite repairs that ended up being much more extensive than we all thought. Ugh. Good news is I got several things done … [Read more...]
