I don't know about you, but when I go to an estate sale I try really hard to believe that the people that lived in the house have moved on to sunny Florida and they just need to get rid of some of the extra stuff they've accumulated over the years. Can't wear a mink...
Keep On Trucking: Fun Upcycled Planter Idea
I tend to get a little tired of using the same old pots and containers for my flower gardening year after year. And let's face it, most flower pots are a little boring and mundane, so when I found this toy truck at a yard sale I knew exactly what I was going to do...
Chicken Feeder Fun
I've been wanting to do something with a chicken feeder for a while now, so I was super excited when I found one this weekend. I've had a couple people mention the turquoise color of it from the photo I posted on Sunday, but that may have been more my poor photography skills than actual...
To The Bat Cave
We've had a great weekend here so far. Lots of planting, yard clean up, and a couple sales to go to. I bought my first chicken feeder on Friday. No, I don't have chickens, but I have plans for it. I also found a 1963 Ball canning jar recipe book. It's called the Blue Book....

Fairy Garden With A Circus Theme
When I decided to do a fairy garden, I wanted to do something different. I didn't want to be cliche and actually put a fairy in it. What fun is that? And you all know how much I love the clown from the other day, so when I found a teeny tiny dollhouse ferris wheel,...

The nice people at Hometalk put together a cute graphic of over 16 different birdbath ideas that I clipped to my board. If any of your haven't...
The Clown That Changed The World
Last Thursday I had a really bad day. Started out good. Ended crappy. My son had been on spring break all that week and I'd been trying to find the right combination of blogging, keeping up on my housewife duties 🙂 and keeping him occupied with fun activities fitting of a spring break. By Thursday,...
