Hi Friends! I know that it is a little bit early, but I am already excited about Halloween and costumes. I mentioned in my 1990’s party post that my husband, David, and I are not afraid of dressing up in crazy costume for any occasion. It is almost like a contest between us, who can […]
Howdy Friends! A couple months ago Southern Holiday Life Magazine contacted me and asked if I would write an article. They have a thrift store/upcycled segment that they call “Funky Junk Craft”.

A Second Tour for a Classic American Tourister Hello Friends! I just returned from another awesome thrift store adventure. I love vintage suitcases and discovering how people have turned them into really interesting things. I found this American Tourister Tri-Taper train case at a thrift store for $3.13. I loved the blue exterior, but the […]

We are in the “learning to ride a bike” stage of parenting. My son, Knox, rocks it on his scooter and big wheel, but it was time to master the bike. He was getting too big for the bike we purchased him last year. My niece, Sadie, was gracious to let Knox have the bike […]
