I was recently gifted an older style cabinet of curiosities from my aunt and I immediately knew I would use it to display some of my favorite collected items from our wedding. We had an old fashioned style wedding so it seemed fitting to create an old fashioned curio cabinet display that would revive the memories of our special day. For nearly 9 years I have been shuffling keepsakes from my wedding around my home until eventually I tucked them in a tote in the back of a storage closet never to be seen. After you see how beautiful everything looks…

So we have these cutest little castile soaps in store. They come in the cutest little glass amber bottles and I simply could not bring myself to throw it away. So what does a crafter do? She makes something of course! I can not wait to show you how this 10 Minute DIY Herb Sign turned out! To start, I had this little Dollar Tree sign from my recent haul and thought it would be the perfect platform for mounting the amber bottle.

I have to admit I have never decorated for St. Patty’s Day. Nor have I ever crafted for it but I got up the urge to make something super cute to style in one of our beautiful cloches we have in store and I am telling ya. I think I might have just changed my own mind. I mean, after all I do love green! This St. Patrick’s Day cloche really started out as a few mini projects within a project that I demonstrated LIVE ON FACEBOOK and rather than walk through each little project step by step I encourage…

Ok so it’s no secret that I love a thrifty planter makeover. I can usually be found searching my local thrift store shelves at least once a week. I love the thrill of finding something with good bones and breathing a fresh new life and purpose into it. In this case, a DIY concrete pedestal. This particular thrifty makeover was a little extra fun simply because I ended up using it for something completely different than plants. If I am being super honest I can barely keep plants alive so having an abundance of planters doesn’t add any value to…

It’s been a hot minute since I posted anything new here on the blog and I thought this DIY Joy sign was a great way to finish up all of my seasonal Christmas projects. In all honesty haven’t had a ton of time to spend on very many projects since opening the shoppe. This project blossomed out of the need to clear my mind and the word “Joy” was the first word that came to mind. Just this past Friday, December 10th our small town of Mayfield. KY was completely devastated by high-end, monster EF‑4 tornado. After seeing the devastation…
