I’m pleased to announce the WHITE PUMPKIN arrival! White pumpkins can now be found just about anywhere here in Louisiana. Finally. As you may know, my sweet hubby is diligently working on a chicken coop for little chicks arriving next week. Since we had some chicken wire lying around, I made two cloches. Here’s a […]
I had this CRAZY idea to make a chalkboard…. out of this: (I’ve had this ugly non-attractive table since I first got married) It usually wore a tablecloth–I’m sure you understand.

Sweet dreams! Before I paint my bedroom, I wanted to show it to you. Lots of white, with some chippy paint, too. A little candlelight. A little romance. And a few buckets, you know I like buckets 🙂 My plan is to paint it a soft white instead of the green. And this cherry […]
This post is different. It’s not about my kitchen redo, or some great junk finds I came across. It’s about what’s burning in my heart right now… And honestly, I can’t sit still over this.
