When I saw these wood tags in Target yesterday, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I love vintage enamel tags, but they can be a bit pricey on eBay and Etsy. So, I decided to make my own. I gave each tag a few coats of white spray paint. Once they were dry, I broke out some rub-on transfers that I've had for a while. I simply rubbed them on using...
This is actually the second time I've upcycled this picnic basket. When I first got it a few years ago at a garage sale, I painted it white. But after years in the tea room, it got quite grungy. Over the weekend, I gave it a few coats of pink, spray chalk paint. Then I agonized over what else to add to it. Use the Mod Podge method? Break out some waterslide paper? I...
Oh boy! As someone who has never, ever done a Black Friday in her life, Target's launch of their Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection came pretty close to Black Friday madness. I was literally up every hour Sunday morning trying to buy online so I could avoid the above photo. Since the site kept crashing, I went to bed and got up 3 hours later.

But ironing? That's an entirely different story. For years, I have cringed at the thought of ironing and have actively avoided doing it. Seriously. Well, let me tell you, my prayers have been answered! The wonderful folks at Downy...
Sharing some random pieces I worked on the last couple of days. It's been a rainy, spring break here. I'm itching to get some spray painting in, but we're stuck indoors - again. This is another pair of vintage baby shoes that I embellished. It's hard to see, but I hot glued some vintage lace on the sides. The pink twine is from Target's Dollar Spot. I used it for my "laces." The fleur de...
