So junking for me is an everyday event. If I’m not pulling off the road to grab someone’s toss out’s I’m stopping at a garage, estate or thrift sale to fill my truck. One thing I love to do is put things on wheels. Those wheels can get expensive if I don’t find them used in one of the ways listed. Recently I came across a heck of a deal at the Helping Hands in Rockwall Texas. I found two...

I bought this dresser at an estate sale a few months ago. When I brought it to my studio I had already formed the beginnings of a great plan. As I started the process of sanding away the layers of paint my plan had to change. The story of this piece is a mystery but the final result lets your mind wonder on what the painter intended. As I took it apart and sat the drawers to the side I...

Tomorrow is the second sidewalk sale of July at Doc Holliday’s Emporium. My collection of things this time around is Whimsical and artsy with a touch of Texas on one particular piece. After all life is way to short to have everything in your home all matchy, matchy. We need those things that pop and give us a moment to smile. When was the last time you just stood in a room of your home and really looked around?...

The 4th of July has become a time for families to come together. We made good use of our day and spent it doing just that. My kids, their families, our dear friends and my daughters in-laws spent the day eating, talking and holding grandkids. Dallas has a crew of friends that always shows up when they hear pool and food. I love to see young people in my home eating and enjoying themselves. That happened a lot Tuesday. The...

Here is a little something that will make your Monday morning a little Blue Happier. During spring break I had to run the pottery kiln none stop. We were weeks away from the big spring art show and it had to be done. All week I went back and forth to school making sure every little artist had their pottery done and in the show. On the last day of the week I wanted to do something fun so I...
