    Thrifted DIY Snow Scene Christmas Cloche

    11:35 AM - By 

    I am up bright and ear­ly on this chilly Octo­ber morn­ing sip­ping my cof­fee in my fuzzy socks and dream­ing of all the beau­ti­ful Christ­mas things. The lights, the orna­ments, the trees, the gifts. Every lit­tle thing about Christ­mas makes me so gid­dy. Typ­i­cal­ly I am a Hal­loween gal, and believe me when I say that both Hal­loween and Thanks­giv­ing deserve their time in the spot­light, but this year I am real­ly fight­ing the urge to jump head first into Christmas.  You see the thing is, I like to think ahead. For weeks now I have been get­ting a plan…

    6:57 PM - By

    DIY Mason Jar Cake Stand

    3:25 AM - By 

    I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve sift­ed through this box of old hand­writ­ten recipes over the years… each time I learn some­thing new about my her­itage… the woman that left a lega­cy. My great grand­moth­er passed when I was an infant and I have since lost my Grannie. Oh the sto­ries my Grannie used to share. There is not much I wouldn’t give to hear those sto­ries just one more time, just so I could soak them in just a lit­tle bit longer. She’s been on my mind a lot late­ly, Sep­tem­ber 23rd marked 11 years with­out her…

    Easy DIY Miniature Magnolia Wreath

    10:25 PM - By 

    This lit­tle project was lit­er­al­ly what one might call a “hap­py lit­tle acci­dent” Mak­ing a mini mag­no­lia wreath was not real­ly where I was head­ed with this one. I was shar­ing a DIY Wood Block House on a Face­book Live when I real­ized my orig­i­nal idea for a mini wreath was turn­ing out to be a com­plete fail. It was the that I was left no choice but to think on my feel with what I had in front of me and boy did it turn out cute! Start with a small piece of flo­ral wire. In my case I recy­cled some…

    Farmhouse Fall Mantle Reveal

    12:45 AM - By 

    So lit­er­al­ly last week I came home to a vin­tage cast iron man­tle sit­ting in my garage. My hus­band had done some wheel­ing and deal­ing via Face­book Mar­ket­place and snagged this beau­ty for $120!!! I could­n’t believe it…I had a man­tle! I had been swoon­ing over per­fect­ly styled, chip­py man­tles for years just dream­ing of the day I would have my own!  What we had before was­n’t ter­ri­ble. It too was a gift from the hub­by sev­er­al years ago. I had seen a few dif­fer­ent paint jobs and real­ly I had just migrat­ed away from that style in our liv­ing space. When…
