I was tinkering with some peat pots over the weekend. I had already given them a fresh coat of paint but I was struggling with what I wanted to put on them. I found these cute Alice in Wonderland images on Pinterest. I thought they'd be perfect to dress up my pots. I also added some vintage lace to each one, faux Dollar Store moss and little trinkets here and there. This one has a...
Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day! I got to do exactly what I wanted to: relax, craft and order in Chinese food. It was a beautiful day and I was able to upcycle some of my recent thrift store finds - like this book stack. And candle holder. I got to watch my boys play outside and husband plant our vegetable garden. Our pool isn't open yet, but I certainly would have dipped my...
Took a quick trip to our local thrift store today and scored a few goodies. I was so excited to see the vintage sheet music. It's been awhile since I've been able to stock up. I think this is a vintage juicer of sorts?! Correct me if I'm wrong. I couldn't pass up the Christmas book. It has so many wonderful vintage images inside. I've already ripped the covers off these books for another book...

I'm doing my beach-themed porch...
My youngest son's communion is this weekend so I haven't had much time to craft this week. I did find some time to paint these small Mason jars I picked up at Target last weekend. I used white, grey and black chalk paint after seeing a similar color arrangement on Pinterest. I'm loving the neutral look. I gave each a couple of coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and tied some raffia on. I also...
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...
