the spot in front of my kitchen sink is kind of an odd size and i always have a hard time finding a cute, washable rug small enough to fit it. i was looking around on the internet and saw this one, which i thought was pretty cute, but too big. in the description it says ‘inspired […]
target has me going crazy with their mushroom garden stuff. they’ve really enabled me to live out my enchanted forest back yard fantasies. first it was the mushroom furniture last year, and this year they haven’t stopped with the mushroom statues. here’s the newest mushroom statues i just picked up and painted. the tall one […]
how many posts featuring mushrooms can one little ol’ blog really have? well here’s one more! for years i’ve been using a big plastic jug full of thistle seeds as a doorstop for the back door. i finally decided to make a cute doorstop and settled on-you guessed it-a toadstool! the tall one is about 10 inches tall, the […]
i always get really excited when i have a piece of vintage fabric, and then while stumbling around on the internet or in a thrift store, i see the same fabric in action. it doesn’t take much to get me excited! today, while i should have been working, i was looking at bathing suits on etsy and i saw […]

yeah, i know, decorating with fake flowers is frowned upon by the professionals. it’s #1 in the hgtv list of top decorating mistakes (apparently i also suffer from #3, ‘knickknack overload’!) the problem is these guys have it all wrong, they tell you if you want to decorate with fake flowers, to buy realistic looking flowers in natural […]
you’ve seen the fun fruit and vegetable people portraits in my kitchen here, and the veggie folk i adore here. i also love these plastic fruit and veggie people figures…did these come as a kit? (you might recognize two of these guys from my ‘down on the farm’ print) fun veggie critter decals! somebody applied these to […]
you might have figured out that i really like alpine-y style woven trims. i designed the ribbon print skirt based on a few that i have, and i make this belt out of super wide vintage 60’s woven trim. okay, i’ll admit i may be a little obsessed with them, and when i find ones i like i hoard them.
