Kitchen Shelves
Last weekend I hung some shelves in my kitchen... I did a good job of packing them full of stuff! lol These are just very inexpensive shelves from ikea.. I think they were only $8 a shelf which is great. I love shelves in a kitchen. ...
Whoops! Mish- mash, I meant!

The wall above my couch is rather awkward because it is the staircase wall. I created a picture gallery of some of my favorite ladies to soften the harsh lines of that wall. I had 6 vintage pictures from picking them up at flea markets... and then I printed two of the images and framed ...
Well, Heather this is just stunning! Your collection of favorite ladies in their mis-mash of frames is inspiring! How could you walk by that wall and not smile? and you're right, amazing what paint can do!

What a coincidence, this is exactly what I did over the past two weeks in my craft room. I used old sheet music. I have to say, your toilet room looks beautiful!!!! I'm itching to do more too!

Finished the Collage Wallpapering
The Water Closet (W.C.) is often located in its own separate room in France. The bathroom is where you shower or bath, and the W.C. is the toilet room. Therefore when you are in France and need to go to the bathroom, one must say, "Where is the toilet?" Because if you ask for the "Bathroom" ...
It's the yummiest sofa... ever! I'm completely head over heels for it, Heather!

Ikea Ektorp Sofa + Comfort Works Velvet Slipcover = Beautiful
Remember last year when I did this post on the review of my Ikea slipcovered Ektorp sofa? Well, just before Christmas I recieved a beautiful slipcover in the mail from a company called Comfort Works. This company makes custom slipcovers for Ikea couches. I ordered my slipcover in a beautif...

My dear friend Natasha and I decided to do a little swap a few months ago. I am finally finishing my end of things... Life just has a way of getting in the way you know? I created her a necklace... she requested candy colors when I asked her what colors she would like, so this is what I crea...

Studio dreams come true
I believe it's every artist and crafters dream to have an organized space where they can create, dream, and feel inspired. For the past several years I have had "make shift" studio space in several rooms of my home. Master bedroom, dining room, guest room (now Vivian's room) and the sunroom/p...
Jenn, all I can say is wow! Wow, wow, wow!!! That is a stunning home and I can not wait to see it once you get done with the place! I am sure it will be a sweet, sugary wonderland!! Congrats on the magazine!! In Italiano.... brava bella!

Hello friends! It's been awhile since I've shared some of my newest collectables, and flea market finds. They are sweet little treasures I've found from all over these past several months. Some will find a special place in my home, and the other's might be used in future projects. I can...

OH, Heather! This is soooo sweet! I just love it and would love to be able to make one or five too! LOL can't wait! About the recycling center, we are lucky to have one here as well.

Le Petit Chandelier
Oh how I love french chandeliers...especially teeny petit ones. I can always spot them a mile away by their unique shapes... they have that certain French look to them you know? Sometimes they are quite pricey... from hundreds to even thousands of dollars. So I thought and thought and t...

I'm doing this. Are you?
I've got journals on my mind. Happens every Summer--like clockwork. Summer lends itself well to free spirits and loosening up, which is what I love about art journaling. (old journal from my stash) Next week I'll have the details on my next Journaling E-Course! I'm really looking forward ...

Eight years today........
Eight years ago today, my husband Curtis and I said our "I Do's". We exchanged our vows, had our first dance to Etta James, and had a super blow-out party afterwards. I sat down early this morning and pulled out the wedding album and honeymoon photos so I could take a walk down memory lane a...

A Mother's Day Gift....
The best Mother's Day gift you could give yourself is a HUGE pat on the back. Whether your children are small, or grown and independent a Mother never stops giving of herself to her children. Both physically and emotionally. Mother's are the ROCK and the backbone of the family, and her love ...
Heather, these are soooo lovely! I completly agree with you. When I was little, our baby sitter would take my brother and me on walks and we'd always beg her to visit the cemetary! They are just captivating! Hugs!

You know how us vintage people love all of the character and workmanship in old things from the past. Well, that is so true... even in the cemetery. There are some downright breathtaking statuary in old cemeteries. Yesterday, I got up in the morning... got the kids off to school... grabbed my...
You are so right Heather, it feel so wonderful to throw away, clean and organize. But, try not to beat yourself up about it. What a sweet token from your son! xo
