Initial Porcelain Coffee Mugs

Three things I love on a weekend:

A really good cup of hot coffee.....

preferably in a white mug...

A fun find: Typography make me happy...

Monograms; initials; letters....

alway classically great design choices.

Inspired Vintage Metal Flower Napkin Rings--Easy How-to

Inspiration is an interesting process...

I never know how or when it is going to hit me.

  

 But when it does...I find it is just best to go with the flow,

...and let it run its course.

Sometimes it is more about a process than the end result. 

Other times, the process and result come together beautifully...

Contemplating roses and time travel.

Have I told you that I must have super-powers? 

How do I know this?

because I blink....

and I am in the future three weeks...

Gone...

time...

just like that.

:o)

Here's to summer being busy and full...

of birthdays

and driver's ed;

of swim meets

and sleep overs;

mission trips and movie nites...

Looking forward to a finale with family at the beach...

and slowing down the time travel.

(super-powers are over-rated)

Vintage Old Glory

This vintage 1940's postcard is so regal.

And the poem on the back is priceless:

OUR FLAG

Red is for fervent courage and zeal

White is for purity, cleanness of life,

Blue is for loyalty and friendship's devotion,

Justice and truth against malice and strife.

Happy 4th of July!

White living room transformation

This is a post about overcoming fear....

Fear of going for all white furniture....

With a family of 3 cats, 2 kids and 1 sports watching husband...

a couch has to do a lot of work...

But, last month, after much deliberation...I just pulled the plug...

and haven't looked back since.

Easy Burlap Ribbon Votive Project

I love all the new printed Burlap ribbon that is on the market now.

There are so many ways to use it.

Last month I showed you how I used a small piece to accent a wine tote gift bag.

Today I am using it to dress up glass candle holders.

Room Makeover-layering

This is a story about a room....

That started as a blank slate....
