Learn how to make a pillow from a shirt with these easy to follow instructions. These no sew pillow covers are an easy way to make a memory shirt pillow too! Seriously, NO SEWING and cute as a button. I've started getting together some porch decor for fall. Finally. I have no idea why I've...
The Crabby Crabapple Owner
When last we spoke, I was showing you my apple vignette on my kitchen table. All is not ap-peeling in the apple world though. My "job" every week is to pick up all the crabapples before my husband mows that part of the yard. I hate this "job". I use quotes because I've yet to...
A Fall Apple Vignette
Seems like I always have apples on my mind this time of year. A few years ago, I talked about how I cheated on my favorite Golden Delicious apples by using Gala apples for my front porch decor. Galas apples are so much more photogenic than the plain Jane Golden Delicious apples, you know. Gala...
A Letter To All The Thrift Store Workers
Dear Thrift Store Worker: Hi there! You know I love you, right? I mean you make my thrifting dreams come true so very often. If it wasn't for you, I never would have found some of my greatest treasures. I would be without my cool typewriter collection, my vintage cameras and many many more great...
Vintage Trailer Inspiration
With summer vacations upon us, my mind once again starts drifting off to hitting the open road. Just slowly working my way across America, stopping at roadside diners and camping at little mom and pop campgrounds along the way. Preferably with a vintage trailer in tow.

Milk Glass Planter For Succulents
Not sure if you call these candy dishes or planters or cat bowls. But you can buy one of these milk glass thingies at practically any thrift store in any city on any day. Oh, did I mention these succulents are rubber? Yeah. I got tired of my real ones dying. Rubber doesn't get all...
Mid-Century Modern Madness
I bought Betty, a funky mid-century modern chair, at a yard sale a few weeks ago. For $1. Yes, someone was getting rid of her for the price of a hashbrown at Mickey D's. I call her Betty in honor of Betty Draper of Mad Men fame, of course. Betty has sexy legs and is...
Growing Plumbago
Blue plumbago (Plumbago auriculata) is one of my favorite plants to grow. It has a profusion of GORGEOUS blue flowers, is not labor intensive and is super easy to grow. Plumbago is pretty much care free - just plant it and prune off the spent flower blooms every once in a while and it will reward...
The Weekend In Yard Sale Land
Hey, I bought a rake. A hay rake 🙂 It's actually longer than this, but when I tried to fit it all in a photo, you couldn't tell how cool it really was. And baby, this thing is cool. You may just see this again when I start decorating for fall. Five bucks. I went...
