I found this frame at an estate sale a couple of months ago. At first, I was going to paint it white but the blue hue kind of grew on me. It's kind of a weird, long size so I wasn't sure what to do with it. Finally, I decided to make it into a chalkboard frame. I attached some self-sticking chalkboard paper to a cardboard insert. I simply slipped it in the slots. There...
I popped into Target this morning because my 7 year old needed a new lunchbox. Yup, only 3 weeks into the school year and the zipper on his first one broke already. Doh! I love going down the bargain aisle while I'm there. Today I found this cute little wire basket for $2.50. I've been wanting a small basket for our counter top. I added some Decor Steals French dish towels I ordered a few...
I wanted to make a grain sack towel for fall. You see, I don't have a lot of fall decorations; I seem to have a lot of Halloween decorations.

I used iron-transfer paper and simply ironed it onto this Ikea...

I'm not a very good wreath maker, but I decided to give it another go by doing a sheet music one for fall. As much as I would have loved to do the scroll-y kinds I've seen all over Pinterest, I just wasn't in the mood to hot...
Quick, easy project for today! I got these pumpkin-scented candles from the Dollar Store earlier this week. After peeling off their generic labels, I thought they were missing a little something. I headed over to The Graphics Fairy and added this great vintage pumpkin label to each one: I printed the image onto label paper so all I had to do was crop, peel and stick! I thought adding twine to the top would add...
I am itching to get my Halloween decorations up, but I'm trying to wait another week so my neighbors don't think I'm crazy. I found a way to soothe the itch by adding some Halloween touches to my tearoom! Yesterday, I popped into the dollar store and bought the black netting which I'm using as a small tablecloth. I also picked up a few black crows to scatter about. The witches' hat I got at...
