MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

Are you like me? Caught in the middle of winter with the blues, with many things to do? But,  you have no energy to get things moving? I have a few things I need to start, but I feel like I am draggin my wagon. It must be the lack of sun and the cold and dreary days. I have managed to get out to do a little treasure hunting this week. And I found some pretty awesome treasures. Oh wait, this is not a new treasure is it. Nope, but I just added it to the shop. I know I was going to wait until my Spring sale. But I have been gathering quite a bit. And this is small enough to ship. So, yesterday I was walking into one of my favorite thrift shops and I spotted this. It was not even put on the shelf yet, but sitting on a cart. So glad I swapped this up. And someone lucky will ...

Before I show you what's new in the shop, I am going to share something a little embarrassing. Okay, so I am always honest about things I share, including my home. I have mentioned this time and again that my home is never perfect. I mean really, who do you know lives in a perfectly clean and tidy home all the time. No one! Photos on my blog,  as well as in magazine's are staged. That's the truth! Here are a few photos I am sharing of my studio. This is called reality :-) This is actually clean, I mean it's been worse...a lot worse! That's a new table I found. I was thinking of painting it, but I am not sure. It's going to get all messy using it for projects, so I have not decided whether I will paint it or not. Here is a photo of the same room as above, but you can see ... View Post

Are you changing things around your home? I am moving things around just slightly. And since Valentine's day is just around the corner I thought I would share how to make this simple Valentine fabric scrap heart wreath. This time I gave it a shabby look. Isn't it pretty. I am sharing how to make this very easy, and pretty Shabby Valentine wreath over at Pet Scribbles today. You can visit HERE. ... View Post

I love blankets, there I said it! Why is it that I can never seem to pass one up? Recently while treasure hunting, I found this beautiful vintage feather comforter. Never washing a vintage feather comforter before, I still could not pass it up! I was hoping it would be big enough for my bed, but sigh, it's not. Yes it's large, but not large enough for a king size bed. My daughter is the lucky recipient of this wonderful cozy feather comforter. But before putting this on her bed I needed to wash it. I noticed it had a few area's that needed to be repaired. I took out my needle and thread to repair those small holes. There were only a few of them. Next it was time to wash this. **Please note if your feather comforter says dry clean only, make sure that's what you do!** This ... View Post

Way before I started blogging and way before there were any blogs I had a dream. Since I was a little girl I loved to decorate. I would move my furniture around in my room, all the time! My room was my own space that I could decorate and make it my very special place. Being a kid I did not have money to spend, well not much anyway. Just a little spending money that I would save up. I have memories of going to garage sales and flea markets with my Grandparents. For just a little spending money I was able to buy treasures. I guess that's where I got the bug for thrift shopping and vintage treasures. Fast forward to my early years of marriage. Decorating my first home. Back then inspiration came from magazines. I could not wait to see the newest issue of Romantic Homes Magazine ... View Post
