Hi!!  How is everybody?  I have missed you all terribly. I must apologize for the tardiness of posting.   I can hardly believe that I haven’t posted since the beginning of February.  I have to give mad props to all the ladies who can manage to post multiple times per week.  I don’t know how [...]

Hi!  How are you?  Have you missed me? Working has put a little bit of a damper on my creative juices.  I have just been too tired to even think about being creative.  But that hasn’t stopped me from hitting the thrift stores a couple of times.  So let’s see what I’ve found lately. First up, [...]

Wow…I still can’t believe Christmas has come and gone and been almost all put away.  We still have some outdoor lights to take down but hubby has unplugged the lights on the white picket fence and the lighted snowflake icicles hanging from the gutters.  The only thing left lighted out front is the the up-lights [...]

  Just a quickie little post to share some of my thrift store finds… All four of these vintage Avon bottle Christmas ornaments were a whopping 25¢ each.  There were several others and now I’m kicking myself for not buying all of them.  But I only picked out the ones that fit with my copper [...]

When I mentioned (somewhere, I can’t remember) that I did my Christmas tree in copper and turquoise, the response was “Are you Arizonian?”.  Believe me when I say I’m really wishing I was in Arizona right now. Here in Ohio, the temp is hovering around 32 degrees.  Gives me a shiver just typing that.  Brrrr! [...]

Hubby and I went to Polaris Fashion Place on the north end of Columbus on Saturday so that hubby could go to Lenscrafters for new eyeballs glasses. Whenever we are at Polaris, we try to stop in one of our favorite stores, The Great Indoors.  Love this place.  Everything you could imagine for home decor.  Lamps, [...]

I certainly don’t want to downplay the significance of Thanksgiving but I just haven’t been inspired to create anything decorative.  My creative juices are more focused on Christmas.  While I’ve held off as long as possible, I just had to share my recent project.  I’m very sure I’m not the first to start creating Christmas related [...]

Some of you who’ve been with me for over a month may remember the finial I found while thrift store shopping the end of September.  Here is what it looked like then… I even mentioned that it had already received a couple coats of white spray paint and was drying as I wrote that post. [...]

Hope you are having (or had, depending on when you read this) a great weekend.  Here in Ohio it’s been sunny but cool, hovering around 50 degrees.  Time for another installment of treasures I’ve found at the thrift store. I stopped in my favorite church-run thrift store with just 15 minutes to spare before my [...]

  I know you all want to live vicariously through my thrift store shopping, so here we go again =) Monday I made a trip to my local GW.   As always, I check craft supplies first and found a bag full of jewelry components for $4.99. and and  While you can’t tell from these [...]
