Recently a dear friend of mine gifted me a beautiful vintage mirror.Isn't it nice to have friends that know you so well? She had this for years stored away but could not find the right place for it in her home. She knew that I would love this vintage mirror and she is right! As soon as I saw it I had the perfect spot for it. Yes this little spot in my hallway is always changing. This time I added this sweet vintage mirror and decided to add that sweet little plate to it too! Yes the shelf is already attached to the mirror.There is a bar too that runs across on those little corbels but I took it off.I really don't need to hang any towels from here now. The color is a vintage earthy green. I added some clocks a metal petite urn and a little cherub ... View Post

The Good The Bad And The Ugly
The good the bad and the ugly..... well maybe not ugly but some good and bad news to share. About a year ago I moved into my space at an antique mall. I was not planning on doing it.But I felt like the right opportunity came around and so I jumped in. I really enjoyed hunting for pieces painting them and watching them find new homes. Looking for unique treasures was fun too! But when I did my yearly taxes I was stunned to see what was really profit and what was not. I decided to step away and search my soul for what l lies ahead. Today was moving day and I am fully moved out of my space. So thankful to have had the opportunity. Because while I was there I met some wonderful, amazing and talented people whom many I now call friend. It's not the end I ... View Post
Garden Bench
Very recently I came across a sweet garden bench. And of course this had to come home with me! The color and patina is perfection to me! And I might add it is pretty heavy too! I have a plan for this sweet little garden bench but I am not sharing just yet. For now I thought it would look pretty photographed next to my french cabinet. Don't you love this patina!

Shabby French Farmhouse Home Tour
If I had to describe my style in only three words it would be shabby French farmhouse.Gina from Shabby Creek Cottage is hosting a home tour linky party.I thought I would share my home with you all . We built our home 7 years ago.When we first moved in I thought about changing my style a bit. My past home was very pastel and had a romantic shabby chic vibe to it. I decided to go a bit darker and more neutral with my colors. And I also decided to do less vintage style and bring in newer pieces. What was I thinking?? Ever since I was a little girl I have always been drawn to older things. Chippy furniture...pieces with detail and charm. What I thought I wanted was not working. I went out and bought a can of paint that ended up being many cans of paint and ... View Post
Homemade Granola
As we continue our cooking in the kitchen series my daughter and I decided to make homemade granola. We have had this recipe for many years and never made it until now. We changed it a bit to make it our own. This recipe is very forgiving you can substitute nuts and dried berries and raisins to make it your own. You can cut the recipe in half to make a smaller batch. This is a tasty treat but not a healthy snack. Homemade Granola 1/2 cup of oil 1 cup (2 sticks of butter) 2 tablespoons molasses 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 pounds regular rolled oats 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1 cup chopped almonds 2 cups Grape Nuts Cereal 1 pound coconut flakes 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup ...
