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…
Sock Bunny
Hey, how’s everyone doing today? We are in the deep freeze here in Western, PA, but at least we are snowed in like our friends in the Boston area! Do you all remember that big pile of unmatched socks that I found in my husbands sock drawer? I blogged about it here. Well, today I…
Hooked Chair Pad
A few weeks ago my youngest son brought home this wood office chair. One of the guys where he works brought it to work to throw in the dumpster. No one knows me better than my son, he loves Goodwill, Flea Markets, Antique stores as much as I do. He sent me text with the…
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.…

Getting Rid of Trash to Find My Treasures!
I’m still running a couple days behind on the 31 Days 2 Get Organized with Peter Walsh. I did tackle the magazines we were supposed to do on Day 10 – I’m only two days behind…give a girl a break! This is what my magazine holder looked like in my Powder Room downstairs! I threw away…
Airing my “dirty laundry”
This morning on my Facebook feed was a post by Peter Walsh on the 31 Day Get Organized Challenge. I don’t know about you, but it seems like in January that you just want to get organized. Maybe it’s because of the all the chaos of Christmas, having all the decorations up, the tree, the presents, the opening…
Dumpster Dive
My son Jason dug this out of the dumpster where he works and brought it home for me. I was so excited, not just for the chair but that my son knows me so well and he’d knew I’d love this! It’s a vintage wood office chair, the tag underneath says from Pittsburgh! After using my…
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…
