French Vintage Friday ~ vintage advertisements
Happy Friday, friends!! It’s crazy how close Christmas is! Because Thanksgiving was so late this year, it has been quite a challenge to get everything ready in time for Christmas. It feels like there’s just not enough time. Next year, I’m starting earlier…I say that every year though. Hopefully next year it really happens! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I am sharing one of my most beloved treasures…. This antique French advertisement is one of my favorite treasures ever! Two winters ago, just a couple days after Christmas, my grandpa passed away unexpectedly. We immediately flew back to be with family and to attend his funeral. While back there, we…

Five most nagging, unfinished projects revisited
Happy Tuesday, friends!! Do you remember the list of five nagging projects that Tara and I have been working on…. We’ve been working on our last project! You know what they say…”laundry is for Mondays”. So, now that it’s Tuesday, and our laundry is done (mostly), Tara and I are showing the progress that we have each made in our laundry rooms. Here’s the before… There are no windows in my laundry room, so pictures are always a little tricky. My main goal was to get this room organized. As if laundry isn’t bad enough, it’s even worse in an unorganized space! And, nothing makes organizing easier than cute labels.…

I really need to finish decorating for Christmas, because on Monday, I, along with some of my blogging friends, are having our Holiday home tours! I can’t wait, but still have a lot to do!

French Vintage Friday ~ Vintage Ornaments
Happy Friday, friends!! I hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful day, full of family, food, and lots of fun. I enjoyed every moment of the day, so much so that I forgot to get my camera out to even take one picture. It was the best kind of day! Today, let the holiday decorating (and shopping) begin! To start, I’m pulling my vintage ornaments out! This is one of the very first collections that I started, just after I was married. Every summer when we would go back to visit my husband’s family, I would wander the aisles of the antiques malls, and pick up these…

Today, I’m excited to show y’all my latest thrifted treasures, both of which were found by my sweet husband. He’s always on the look out for treasures for me. He’s a keeper for sure! He found a set of eight vintage Johnson Bros white cups and saucers, at a thrift store, while on a football trip with my two oldest sons. He also found a cute little cabinet, just about two feet tall, on the Facebook Marketplace. I didn’t take a “before” picture, but I do have…

Thanksgiving Table Ideas ~ 2019
Happy Monday, friends!! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week! It always seems so far away, until it’s here, and now it feels like time flew by! I will be hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, which is so exciting! I love to decorate, set the table, and host, but don’t love to cook, but not to worry, my sister and brother always help me do all of the cooking. Thanksgiving cooking usually turns into quite a fun morning/afternoon, full of laughs and crazy behavior! Such great times! I like to get my table ready the night before, this saves time on the big day! This year, I’m…

Crafting Up Christmas
Happy Sunday, friends!! This was the last weekend of my two oldest sons’ football season. It was a fun weekend full of football and excitement!! When I wasn’t at a game, I was crafting up something that I am so excited to share with y’all today…. While visiting my brother a few weeks ago, I came across something that I had been on the hunt for, a stocking stretcher! I wanted to find a bunch, but I just found one. But, I had an idea! I could make a few to use, at least until I find more. I started by tracing the original stretcher, on a thin piece of…
