How many of you remember these? A few weeks ago when I was helping my mom, this beauty came home with me. My dad bought this mid century stereo console before he and my mom were married in 1968 from Montgomery Ward. I would guess it was purchased sometimes between 1962 and 1966 because my…
Like most men, my husband couldn’t care less if his clothing or his closet is organized. All he really cares about is that he has clean clothes to wear. Before I came along, I’m pretty sure that he kept most of his clothing in a laundry basket. I’m the complete opposite, I like for my…

Now that it is officially winter, I crave soups and casseroles for dinner. There’s nothing like coming home on a cold winter’s night after a long day at work and enjoying a hot bowl of soup. I like soups that I can make ahead of time and reheat or that I can make in…

Our friends Keith and Nicole traveled to Ashville for Christmas and spent a few days at the historic Grove Park Inn. When I found out that they were going, I asked if they would take pictures of the gingerbread house competition. I used to love the HGTV show each Christmas about the competition and wish…

My friend Megan of Rappsody in Rooms and I met downtown on Saturday to do a bit of shopping. We thought it would be fun to go to two antique stores, take pictures of what appeals to us, and compare what we like. We were together some of the time but neither of us paid…
Upcycle a floppy disk storage box to use for storing greeting cards. Do you enjoy sending and receiving birthday cards? I do! While I appreciate any birthday wish, I’d much rather receive a birthday card in the mail than an email, text, or Facebook message. I like to keep an assortment of greeting…
January is here and it’s time to change the mantel to match the season. It’s cold just about everywhere and my ice blue, white, and silver themed mantel to me says winter. I started my mantel by pulling out the Winter Snowflake Wreath that I crafted last year. I love the glittery paper that I…
Since adopting Sherman in March, we have been very curious to know what breed Sherman is. The Humane Society advertised Sherman as a Shepard mix puppy but we soon realized that he more closely resembles a Rottweiler. Sheman was a little over two months when we got him. He is a high energy dog…
Can you believe that it’s the start of a new year? The older I get, the quicker the years pass by! This card is from my grandmother’s collection. I can’t read the date that it was sent but based on the other cards from her collection, it would be from 1905-1910. I enjoy using her…
