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.…

French Vintage Friday ~ vintage sheet music
Happy Friday, friends!! I’m so ready for the weekend! How about you? 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! Today, for French vintage Friday, I’m sharing my love for vintage sheet music. I love it, especially during the holidays. It’s such a fun, easy thing to decorate with. Last year, I used vintage sheet music on my mantel… This year, I have some in my entryway…. I simply rolled each sheet of music, and tied it will some gold tinsel. I then…

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…

Thrifted Treasure ~ November
Happy Monday, friends!! Can you believe that it is Thanksgiving week!! I absolutely love this time of year! The holidays are so magical! 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…

Creative Thursday ~ easy to make candy cane garland
Happy Thursday, friends!! Just one week until Thanksgiving, can you believe it!! Where has the time gone?!! Today, I am so excited to be joining a few friends for this month’s creative Thursday! We are each sharing a Christmas craft. So much fun!! I love to craft! My oldest two have never really been into crafting, not when they were little, and definitely not now, but I can usually convince my two youngest to join me. We decided to make a fun candy cane garland, made out of clay. You’ll need…. •Polymer clay, click HERE for the one that I used. •eye hooks or wire (we started with eye hooks…

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…

French Vintage Friday ~ vintage silver
Happy Friday, y’all! This week has been a busy one! I haven’t even decorated much for Christmas yet, but I did put together a Thanksgiving/fall tablescape this week. I’m hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, and I want my table to be perfect! Anyway, something that I am so excited to use this year on my table is the vintage silver that my mom gifted to me. I have always wanted to own my own set of vintage silverware, but I never came across any that was within my budget. Now, thanks to my sweet mom, I have my own set to use this Thanksgiving! What are your Thanksgiving…

Top Shelf Clearance Challenge ~ November
Happy Monday, friends! This time of the year is always so much fun, and so busy! Tara and I have both been so busy, that we completely forgot to get a group together for this month’s clearance challenge! So, it will just be the two of us today. For my clearance find, I found the cutest little glass knobs at Hobby Lobby, and instantly knew that they would be perfect to use as the bases for some bottlebrush trees. I took the screws out of the knobs. This was the most challenging part, because the screws were glued into the knobs. So, if I were to do this again, I’d…
