Christmas Eve is a special time in our family.

Have you seen it yet?

This floor and the hallway project have long been on our to do list.

DIY subway art turned into adorable little hanging pillows...

A great tree and a beautiful urn was my thrift store treasure today.

When I found this very unusual piece on the side of the road at firstI wasn't sure how this could be repurposed.

What would you do with an old antler if you found one?

Cute little Santas and a few inexpensive decorative jars...

Hot Chocolate Stations are all the rage!

I found these 3 metal cones that  were once used for some kind of decoration... 

JOY is one of my favorite words... and this easy and inexpensive sign is Simply Joyful!

A few supplies are all you need to update a simple Mason jar and create a beautiful light. 

Found for cheap on Ebay...
Wood, metal, wire, leather... what's not to like?

Today I'm making good use of the parts from  a very unusual old trunk I found on the side of the road.

Not too long ago I ran across a set of 12 of these industrial stand clips. 

I found the cutest thing in a boutique recently and I just have to share.

This chain with clips was being sold with tiny bottles hanging on it for Halloween... 
It sure got my wheels turning. 
First of all how EASY would this be to make! 
I could make a million of them!
The chain from Home Depot and the clips are similar to these.(affiliate link)
The possibilities for decorating this chain are endless!


I was experimenting with the chain and hung tiny chalk painted pumpkins on it then hooked it on my mantel.

My mantel is a mish-mosh of a little of everything right now... 
I jus…

It's another day and once again I pulled a U turn in the middle of the road on my way to work.

Being a grandmother for the first time this summer gave me a new appreciation for baby clothes.
As the mother of four girls, I was especially excited about buying baby boy clothes for the first time. 
In a bag of hand-me-down baby clothes I was surprised to find a few pairs of vintage baby socks.

The socks had such a beautiful vintage texture and color.
Who in the world would even think of putting these wool socks on the baby? They were headed for Grandma's craft room for sure! I decorated each sock with red ribbons of all kinds and vintage buttons and bows. 
With just…

When is a chicken not a chicken...

Today I'm making an easy Christmas banner to hang on the mantel.

These small breadboards were found at the  thrift store and made adorable Christmas decorations.

Twas the night before the craft fair and all through my house

I'm working on projects for a local craft fair this weekend...

A few years ago I created some ornaments using scrabble tiles and old clothespins...

When you find it... grab it!

I am a sign maker so it only makes sense that I'd love mini signs for Christmas.

How to make a chalkboard from an old drawer. 

When I found about 100 metal spring photo holders at a garage sale I knew someday they'd be something great.

A rusty vintage grater with a great wooden handle.

I really need to start eating healthy. I've put on a few pounds and it's time to do something about it!

This one is for all you chalkboard lovers out there.

I love green chalkboard, it's so vintage...

Today I'm combining my love of chalkboards with my love of Christmas!

I cut a green chalkboardinto 1" strips then cut them into lengths that would create a triangle or Christmas tree shape.

I hot glued the chalkboard strips to a stained paint stick.
Then added a rusty star to the top and a length of jutefor a hanger.




And the best part is that you can write on the chalkboard strips! I used an erasable chalk marker.


Happy Holidays!
