Can Something Be Too Kitschy?
I found this bear planter at the antique store yesterday and I was oddly drawn to him. "Come sit on my log with me, Pam. I promise not to eat you." I use vintage planters in odd ways in different areas of my house. I think they're fun to throw stuff in. Pencils, q-tips, notepads,...
Rookie Thrifting Mistake
I can't believe I made such a rookie mistake when I was shopping at the thrift store recently. I had been looking for a bedskirt for the guest room. One that wasn't too frilly. One that was burlap-ish in color. One that wouldn't set me back an arm and a leg. I had been to...

Thrifty Finds
I went to an estate sale on Friday and found a few things. This was day number two for the sale, so it was picked over and a lot of the really neat stuff I had seen in photos was already gone, but there was a fair amount of B-list stuff left. Plus it was...
