Lucketts, Hometalk, and Junk {Funky Junk, that is. . .} {8}

If you were reading along with me at this time last year, you might remember that I made the long trip to Leesburg, Virginia to visit The Old Lucketts Store and shop the Lucketts Spring Market.  Why travel all that way to go to an antiques market?  Well, it really is among the best and [...]

Long Day at Lucketts {but not long enough. . .}

Long Day at Lucketts {but not long enough. . .} {7}

Did it rain?  Yes. Was it a little chilly? Yes. Did I have a great time anyway? YES! And even though it did rain, I didn’t get wet at all.  I arrived a bit late and thus I missed the early rain.   And then when the skies opened up later on in the afternoon? [...]

Lucketts!! {YOU are here}

Lucketts!! {YOU are here} {0}

FIrst things first. I cannot BELIEVE it’s been a whole year since the last time I was here. A WHOLE YEAR?! Okay.  Just like last year, I will be taking lots of beauty shots with my big camera and posting them here on the blog – all pretty like.  Those photos have to be edited [...]

My Living Room Mantel {tools of the Christmas trade}

My Living Room Mantel {tools of the Christmas trade} {28}

In case you were wondering. . . I am feeling better. On one of the final days that I was sick (when I was the sickest), I woke up at around 5:30am, kind of whining and moaning and Mr. Social Media stirred and said to me, “Do you need anything?” And I whined louder, “I [...]

I’m Not a Mantle But I Play One in the Hallway

I’m Not a Mantle But I Play One in the Hallway {27}

So the Fall decorating continues. As I travel through my first year as a blogger, I am a little amazed at all of the creativity that I see.  I find it fascinating that we are all doing a similar thing (decorating for a season or a Holiday), but each of us is doing something just [...]

A Week’s Worth of Mantles? {one day at a time…}

A Week’s Worth of Mantles? {one day at a time…} {40}

Well.  Did I say (in my last post) that making that little vignette with the pumpkins and the watering can had gotten me into the swing of things as far as decorating for Fall?  Turns out that was really an understatement.  I have been on a cleaning and decorating tear for the last three days. [...]

Practical Beauty. . . {ASCP painted bench makeover} {33}

I DID say that there was a possibility that I owed you more than one project this week.  This project initially went up at The Ironstone Nest while I was away at the Haven Conference.  It sounds like Laura’s family is chugging along with their new addition – Congratulations to them on the birth of [...]

I’m Not Sure It’s Treasure, But I KNOW It’s Not Trash

I’m Not Sure It’s Treasure, But I KNOW It’s Not Trash {12}

Yesterday I posted to Facebook about rescuing two boxes of “stuff” on it’s way to the Dumpster at my kids’ school.  I did not say what was in the boxes.  Guesses ranged from books to chalk.  And one person (who, clearly, has been paying attention) guessed, vintage Red Cross stuff.  If you have been playing along [...] Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...
