Do you ever see a project on another blog or on Pinterest and say to yourself, "I have got to try that!" So you bookmark the page or pin it to your Pinterest and it just sits and sits. Well, I have been wanting to make a chicken wire frame for at least a year now. I finally got around to making one over the weekend. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! I...
We had two estate sales in the neighborhood yesterday. While the boys were at school, I popped by both. Holy moly! Boy, were they loaded! I could have gone crazy at the second one but the prices were a bit steep. I might head over later today to see if there are any better deals to be had. Love the religious statue.

I'm a huge fan of decorating with bottles. Old, new, big, small - you name it, I love em! These two are old sparkling lemonade bottles that I got from Home Goods a few years ago.

As I said, I did not go crazy but am totally happy with my little...
After two days of rain, the sun came out and we headed on out to the Country Living magazine fair in Rhinebeck, NY. This big guy greets you as you head in. Love the huge cover posters! My little men were my models. Tons and tons of booths. We weren't sure where to start! Most were set up in old barns on the fairgrounds. Saw a lot of grain sack bags, dish towels, etc. And tons...
