Can you say jackpot?! I feel like I hit it this morning at a local garage sale. Look at all of this vintage goodness! Bunny tins, heart tins and tart tins. And a teeny, tiny muffin tin. Seriously, how cute is that? I grabbed star tins, measuring spoons and a biscuit cutter too. This guy is going to get a makeover. I'm turning it into an herb planter. After a few coats of white paint...
The boys are off from school this week, so we planned a quick trip to Boston. It was a little chilly (and rainy), but we managed to walk the Freedom Trail, visit the New England Aquarium and travel to Salem. I'm a bit of a history buff, so I was in my glory. And I looooove old, historic cemeteries. This grave marker is for a four year old, though. That was sad. We got to...

Yikes has it really been over three weeks since I last posted? I'm posting more on Instagram these days. Just waiting for the weather here to cooperate more so I can get back into the swing of things craft-wise. If you miss me (hee hee hee), you can always follow me on Instagram: @okiobdesigns.
