Easter is upon us, friends! I love what this holiday symbolizes: hope, new life, new beginnings. My dining room table is covered in supplies for various projects in the planning stages (can you say "crafter's ADD?"), so I did not do an Easter tablescape this year. Well, that and I've been obsessed with getting my kitchen finished up. Last year I pulled this one together quite simply, so you can read all about it HERE. Someday I'll be … [Read more...]
Passing It On…
April 5, 2012 by · 9 Comments
Hi gang! Today I'm posting over at Fancy Little Things about "green decorating" so I hope you'll pop over and say hello! Remember this? Well, I bundled with love the second canvas from KariAnne... And sent it across the country to a gal who has blessed me immeasurably in the past year. I "met" her almost exactly a year ago when she won a Willow House giveaway on my blog. We struck up an online friendship and she invited me … [Read more...]
A Kitchen Preview and Something Cool
April 4, 2012 by · 14 Comments
I've officially lost my mind when I decide to repaint my kitchen during my week off. The week when I'm all alone and could be antiquing, reading, lounging on my back deck, chatting on the phone with friends, starting happy hour at 5 sharp. You know -- vacation??? But instead, I got the grandiose notion that this was the perfect time for me to repaint the kitchen. Granted, the Tuscan gold is 12 years old. And the woodwork is all dinged … [Read more...]

Monday again! How did that happen? This is what I saw yesterday morning, with the sun streaming into our family room... I love how you can see the bubbles in the glass projected on the wall. By the way, this demijohn is a Willow House product, our Lady Jane Bottleneck vase, available HERE. I love mine. Last week, I had the happy surprise of being awarded this... Sweet Lisa of Budget Design Girl passed this honor on to me!! … [Read more...]
March’s Favorite Things

It's so hard for me to believe we're at the end of March (do I sound like a broken record?)! We're entering that crazy time of year that reeks of madness... the fun kind of course. If you're a mom with kids in school, you might as well tether your calendar to your waist and fire up the checkbook. It's year-end this and year-end that headed your way before you know it. :) I've got some AWESOME favorites from March, so rather than wait until … [Read more...]
It’s a Cinch!! Chalkboard Flower Buckets
March 27, 2012 by · 15 Comments
This has GOT to be the easiest project I've tackled in a while... I spied these flower buckets in the dollar section at Target. There were only two left so I, of course, snagged them both. I was thinking I'd love to dress them up to put in my booth... or not. :) I dug out my chalkboard paint and some stencils from my scrapbooking days. I'm thinking "chalkboard labels", ripe for any message. I used painters tape to secure the … [Read more...]
