This week we took a short trip to Niagara Falls for a little vacation time. I hadn't been since I was a kid. I would advise anyone that hasn't been there lately to get up from your computer this very minute, jump in your car and go! We had a great time. We forgot to...
Remington Quiet-Riter
Sometimes garage sale finds come in bunches. You look forever for an item and then when you finally find that one specific item you are overjoyed. Ecstatic. Tickled pink. Then the next week you find another one. And another one. Until you are at the point that you see this once coveted item ALL. THE....
Typewriter Love
Is it wrong to love an inanimate object? I found Kate at an estate sale last weekend. According to her serial number, she was born in 1925. She's a little dusty and needs some cosmetic work, but for an 86 year old she's in pretty good shape. I originally bought her with thoughts of reselling...
Dreams
I have heard a lot of my fellow bloggers talking about their dreams and thoughts for their futures lately. And it has me thinking. Sometimes I feel that blogging can be a detriment to following your dreams if you let it. Yes, you are constantly inspired by other bloggers' creativity. You can spend hours and...

I have been holding out on you. Well, sort of. This whole blogging just a few times a week thing has me a little disorganized and when looking through some photos last night it occurred to me that I hadn't shown this batch of garage sale finds. From two weeks ago! When I pulled into...

DIY Rustic Sailboat
I made a sailboat last week. Out of a branch and a twig, part of my vintage ticking fabric, and a couple of eyelet screws. Quick and easy and sort of cute, if I may say so myself! In a nutshell: I sawed a dead branch from our brush pile into a section roughly 16"...
In The Good Old Summertime
When I was young, summer was a magical time filled with riding bikes for hours on end, swimming until your skin was all wrinkled and lots and lots of running around aimlessly. Of course the world was a much gentler place back then and parents didn't have to worry about where you where if you...
Junkin Finds
Before I tell you about my awesome garage salen day on Friday, I wanted to show you this wooden pulley that I forgot to post a photo of last week. I bought it at the same garage sale that I bought the Jarts at and with all the excitement over the Jarts, I totally forgot...
