Prim Candle Holder
The other day, I was at Home Depot to pick up my 5 gallon jug of water and of course I had to take a browse around the store. I’m sure I am not the only woman who likes Home Depot! I was looking for some lathe wood and that’s when I saw the garbage…
Priming Up the Deck
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written a post. Today the hubby is off at a conference, so it’s one of those days where I don’t have to cook and I get to play! I’m just now getting to work on the putting some flowers on the back deck. The temperature today is going…
Mason Jar Holder
I have joined several new groups on Facebook, one does nothing but use chalk paint on everything from furniture to mason jars. It really has me inspired to start doing some painting. Every time I go to Goodwill, I see things I could buy and repaint. I have to talk myself out of it because…
Plantation Syrup Bucket
Today is March, 10 so that means Spring is only 10 days away! It also is my only grand-daughter’s 8th birthday! Did you know on the first day of Spring you can stand eggs up on their end? Every year my son does this for her, hoping he can do all 8 this year! Baleigh’s…
Heart Box Doesn’t Always Have to Contain Chocolate!
Hi everyone, just stopping by for a quick post to wish all of you a Happy Valentine’s Day. I have been fortunate in life to have married a man who loves me unconditionally. Yes, as in life, we have had our ups and downs, our spats and disagreements, but we never go to bed angry…
Salt Dough Cherry Pie
On January 27, I celebrated my 60th birthday! The worst part of turning 60 is I have to go get my photo taken for my drivers license! Why is it those photos always look like mug shots?? I celebrated with my hubby, and my son and his fiance. My grand-daughter who lives in Texas made a…
Whisk Broom Valance
People rarely use whisk brooms anymore, when I was growing up in the 60’s it was the only way we swept the dirt out of car! Since changing my decor to a more primitive look (not that growing up in the 60’s makes me primitive) I notice a lot of whisk brooms in the decor.…
TP Roll Valentine Decoration
Hey friends, how is your day going? We had a couple days of snow which kept me indoors that also allowed me some time to do a little crafting. With Valentine’s Day only a few weeks away, I have a cute idea for you. This is by no means my “original” idea, but each one…
Christmas Blessings Star Primitive Tree Topper
My Christmas tree needed a new topper and I found one the other day at Goodwill for $1.99. It had a spring bottom that I really liked and thought it would look good on my top of my tree. My only problem was it wouldn’t stay on the tree. The spring bottom was kind of…
Vintage-Look Vanilla Bottle
I love glass bottles! I don’t know where the obsession came from, but anytime I empty a glass bottle or jar, I just can’t throw it away! I re-use them to store pantry items or I will put some vintage looking labels on them just for decorating in my home. When I finished this bottle…
