The blog that was for today was interrupted to bring you news from my trash trolling last night. I hit the jack pot and I wanted to share it with you. Tomorrow is a great blog that you do not wanna miss. I spend many hours trolling for trash in my neighborhood as well as many others. Sometimes the picks are good and sometimes it’s a dry run. I pick up everything from scrap lumber to furniture. I’ve even gotten...

There is always a way to work with what you have. I bought a box lot from an auction house. I was after one thing in the box when I bought it. Greg teased me because he said I had all this extra stuff to deal with. I opened my mouth and said I can make anything out of anything. He then said “you wanna bet”?

I have been working way before the sun came up today. I know my blog is late coming out but if you saw all the amazing pieces that are sitting in my dinning room you would understand. Crazy to think that the March Sidewalk sale at Doc Holliday’s is here already. I started preparing for this the day after February sidewalk sale. I will have 2 truck loads of items to show this Saturday 10-6 right in front of the...

Thursday was a great weather day here in Texas. Ethan watched me drag out all my fall and Thanksgiving decor. He waited to see what I was going to do with it all. When he saw me going outside to the front porch he was so eager to help me. We started by cleaning everything up and putting away all the spring things. He couldn’t understand why I had to do all that first. “Why can’t we just put out...

It’s October and it’s time to get ready for the holiday season that’s just around the corner. This past weekend in Waco I found a jewel in the mix of all the junk stores I shopped at. When I first saw it I wasn’t sure what it was. When I opened the top I was so surprised but what a delight it was. I have never seen a wood ice bucket, have you? What a great find I thought, but...

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
