Winston

  Say hello to Winston. Hello Winston!   So it goes like this... I've been looking for a flying pig statue forever. Seriously forever. And just so we're clear, when I say "flying pig statue"  in absolutely no way do I mean this.     Yikes! Last … [Read more...]

just a couple of fall wreaths

coffee filter wreath

  Fall cannot get here soon enough. I am not someone who wants summer to last forever. Nope. Fall is my favorite time of year and it never seems to last long enough.

  Welcome to the 2nd installment of Whimsy Week! I'm gonna jump right into it. This is what we lovingly refer to as The Green Room. For obvious reasons, I'm sure. For quite a number of years it's been full of plants (they will never leave, I love them so) and garden posters and … [Read more...]

I love taking something that I would never want to use and turning it into something that I rather adore. Here we have an old ugly tv tray. ....i.e. something I would never want to use. Not because of it's function, but because of it's ugliness.   And here we have something that … [Read more...]
