You know how you buy one thing. That one time. Just because it's a good deal. Or it's really cute. And then you start seeing similar things at yard sales for a buck or two and you think, why not? And next thing you know, you have yourself a bona fide collection? Well, that's what...
DIY Vintage Seed Box
I have been lusting after all the vintage seed boxes that I've been seeing around the internet. Lusting after one doesn't make me want to spend upwards of $100 for one though. You know me, I'm cheap with a capital C. (I guess I could have just spelled it with a capital C then). So...
Growing Purple Coneflower
Way back when, when I first started blogging and no one in their right mind read my little piece of the internet, I did a post where I showed photos of my Purple Coneflowers. Since it was still a little snowy outside today and I'm feeling the need to at least talk about gardening even...

Dreaming Of An Estate Sale Haul
OK, so it's not exactly a haul per se. I should reserve that term for a huge pile o' junk. But I did manage to find a few cool things at the estate sale on Friday. I'm just a little bit giddy over this very retro looking metal Christmas tree stand. Since I had arrived...

Industrial Style Spring Peat Pots
Industrial style is HOT right now. Spring is HOT right now! Bam! What about an industrial style spring project. Throw in a few lambs and what do you have? Lambs on faux zinc peat pots, that's what! OK, so it's not all pastel colors, Easter bunnies and green plastic grass. But I'm feeding the industrial...
