The inspiration for the watercolor prints today is that shiny burnt orange pumpkin you see sitting on my vintage kitchen stool. I found that beauty at Menards and loved the rustic touch it added to the cabin. So of course I needed a little artwork to add to the wall above it and nothing says fall like sunflowers, pumpkins, and indian corn done in traditional fall colors. If you haven't heard me say it before I admit to being a frame hoarder. I've never met a black ... continue reading...
We've added a flagpole to the small landscaped area around our entrance marker. My son has been wanting one, and on our way home from Greenfield Village hubby and I stopped at Harbor Freight and picked one up. I've been waiting all summer for someone to put it up, and one evening my son was in the mood and right before dark he decided to do it. I of course went out to do pictures, and feed the mosquitos I think. I spent the majority of the time trying to keep them off my son while he ... continue reading...
Okay you've all heard the saying "Messy Hair Don't Care" well this is "Messy Lair Don't Care." On Sunday morning I got out of bed, looked back and thought I'm going to photograph our bed without it being made, I'm going for that lived in look I guess. Hubby was out of town on business so his side of the bed is still perfectly made but my side not so much. I did fluff my pillows a little but other than that I decided to share with you the Ticking Stripe Bedding we're currently using without ... continue reading...
Garden Cart LOVE....Friday morning my BFF and I decided to do a little garage sale-ing, and just a few miles down the road we hit a barn sale. Source We got out and started looking around and commented to one another several time how the prices are garage sale prices. I've stopped at so many this summer that have their items priced like a department store. To me the reason for having one it to purge all that junk you no longer what, so why price it high? Put a sticker on that stuff and ... continue reading...
Okay, I think the whole world has been on the Velvet Pumpkin craze long before I got into the game. I'm not sure why I didn't have one up to this point but I didn't. I found this golden beauty at Kmart of all places. I'm telling you that place has hidden treasure I didn't know existed, I've found a lot of stylish things there lately. It seems no matter how hard I try and rid my home of the yellow, it keeps popping up again. I thought the gold velvet was a stunning color, it even ... continue reading...
It's been a long few days around here. We've had no internet for 3 days, I'm not a TV watcher, so I had to find things to do. Let's just say a lot of crafting went on around the cabin recently. What did people do before the net? My house is always clean, meals prepared, laundry done so I started checking off those things on my to-do-list. A Vintage Farmhouse Sign was first on the list. I'd been wanting to make a Sweet Tea sign all summer long but needed to wait until the hot days ... continue reading...
