Ever since I found a silhouette kit while thrifting, I've been wanting to make some Valentine silhouettes. I made some silhouettes of my two oldest children, when they were 6 and 3 years old. They were crudely made of black and white construction paper, but were good likenesses none the less. I'm Continue Reading
Old World Platters and Plaid Valentine’s Day Vignette
I was perusing in my favorite thrift store last night, when I saw 6 gorgeous Wexford Plaid appetizer bowls from 222 Fifth.

It’s been lots of fun this year, because I just completed my first real year of blogging. I blogged sparingly from 2016-2018, only sharing posts on my social media. I Continue Reading

Sweet N’ Simple Valentine Flag
Sweet N' Simple Valentine Flag Last year I made a bunch of burlap garden flags, with the intention of decorating one for each holiday. It didn't happen in 2018.
