Miss Mustard Seeds German Glitter Pumpkins This is a super easy craft project that can change these boring little pumpkins into pretty glittery gems using Miss Mustard Seeds German glass glitter.

I thought I would share how to start a blog or how I started a blog. When I first started my blog I was on blogger. It was a free service, the only thing I had to pay for was photo space. I take lots of photos and soon after starting my blog I ran out of space. I have to admit I knew nothing at all about blogging, nothing at all about writing and nothing, about photography. And as much as I would like to say I figured it out all on my own, well I would be lying. My sweet niece helped set up my first blog. But soon after I was playing around trying to figure things out, and eventually I did. It was very easy. Editing photos was a piece of cake too as soon as I found out about Picmonkey. And now, I am now using Lightroom along with Picmonkey. I use Lightroom for my most of my ... View Post

I have a few projects I am working on right now, but....I stopped and I paused. And I wondered, am I sharing content that you want to read about? When I started this site, I wanted to share tips and tricks and ideas to inspire you with vintage style decor. I love painting and creating, it's what I love the most.

But please be specific. I recently shared a survey and most of you enjoy seeing decorating ideas. But, I ... View Post

I am sure you know that my favorite style is Shabby Chic, but did you know that I also love French style? I wouldn't say my home is exactly Rachel Ashwell, although I am inspired by Rachel's style. But, did you know that I also love French accents in my home. Once of my favorite pieces is this French bottle rack. It's not the real deal, but a replica of a French bottle rack. Yes it's mixed in with my Shabby Chic style, but shows that I have a little French flare. Yes you can mix French style in with Shabby Chic.  I  love this table that I created a few years ago. My inspiration came from the French feedsacks. I didn't keep this piece, it was sold at a sale. I am kicking myself now, as I should have kept it. I guess I should try to re-create one. Oh, and I love French ... View Post
