I am totally in love with my baby spoon display in my dining room, so I thought I'd share the "how to!" It all started with these small racks I found thrifting with Charity a few weeks ago... They were $2 each and I got them for 20% off -- $6 for the four of them. :-) I've also gotten in the habit of trolling the hobby stores framing department for frames on clearance... especially open frames. Many were custom orders … [Read more...]
A Home for the Watercolors {Thrift Store Frames}
July 20, 2012 by · 8 Comments
At last. A home for my grandmother's watercolors that she painted back in the 1950's. After months of searching art supply and framing stores and pondering custom frames, a simple pair of thrift store frames got the gig. Once they got a little facelift and were paired with prefab mats from Michael's, they were the perfect solution. I love the way the finish turned out (read about that here). I love that both her hands and … [Read more...]

Well, I'm still sorting out all the great information I got at Haven and having fun visiting the blogs of the ladies I met -- so much talent out there in the blogosphere!

And I was thrilled when my latest purchase from Decor Steals (formerly WUSLU) showed up on my doorstep! I love maps. They just speak of journeys and memories. … [Read more...]

I'm not going to lie ~ it felt good to unplug just a bit. Much as I love and appreciate you all, I just haven't had anything good to share the past week. The kids and I circled the wagons. My oldest son travelled to the funeral with his dad, read a poem, read scripture from some font of strength for the 2000 people that gathered to mourn sweet Kaely Camacho. I watched him become a man this week. I loved on my own 13 year old, who's … [Read more...]
Looky What I Found… {Faceless Angels}
April 13, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Today seems like a great day to share one of my favorite new acquisitions. I picked this painting up in a little shop in Montgomery, Alabama while visiting a dear friend a couple of months ago. The artist is Donnie Sasser and he calls this one of his "Faceless Angel" paintings. There were many to choose from, but I loved the scale of this one. Ha ha, I've actually moved it (during a recent "tweaking" session), but … [Read more...]
