Vintage Mailbox Planter
WHY NOT USE AN OLD VINTAGE MAILBOX PLANTER AS A REPLACEMENT TO THE TRADITIONAL DOOR WREATH?

By the time I get home my pockets are normally weighted down with a few treasures. My oldest son knows me well and has aided in my quirky collecting of strange ... continue reading...
Is It Spring Yet
I have a few things on my mind as I wait for spring to arrive and today I'm sharing what those things are! Can you hear me over here rapping my fingers as I wait for spring? My heart is really longing for those warmer days when I can hang the laundry on the line again, for the smell of fresh cut grass, for the sweet sound of birds singing their songs, and time spent on the porch swept away reading a good book. We’ve had a very mild winter this year, which makes me even hungrier ... continue reading...
