Another month has passed and it’s time for another round of “Themed Furniture Makeovers”. Each month a group of friends challenge each other to makeover a piece of furniture with a theme. This month’s theme is small tables. In February my teacher assistant kindly gave me some of her aunt’s vintage things that other…
It’s giveaway time! In case you missed it, a few weeks ago I joined 11 ladies for the American Odyssey Relay, over two days we ran 200 miles from Gettysburg to Washington, DC. Being a part of team Bloggin’ & Joggin’ was an experience that I’ll never forget and ranks as one of my favorite…
I enjoy watching movies at home but rarely go to see one in the theater. Pitch Perfect 2 is coming out May 15 and I want to see it on the big screen. In fact, just Friday night, my friend Elsie and I discussed going to see it. You can click on the picture to…
This past weekend it felt like summer even though it was only the second weekend of May. After a long week of teaching and tennis, I was more than ready for a day of relaxing at the lake. (I’m playing on two USTA teams and had four matches this week, two of which started at…
Today I’m joining a group of blogging friends to share what we collect. After much deliberation, I decided to share my antique fish platter collection. What I Collect I started collecting things at a young age with Trixie Belden books and coins. I now collect all sorts of things including vintage canisters that I use…
This past weekend I joined eleven other bloggers for the American Odyssey Relay, a race that starts in Gettysburg, PA and ends 200 miles later in Washington, DC. Our team of twelve was divided divided into two groups of six to complete the race. Van one completed the first six legs and then van two…
In March I first tried Rocksbox, a jewelry subscription service similar to Stitch Fix. A Rocksbox stylist sends three pieces of jewelry based on a style profile and wish list that you complete when you sign up. After the jewelry arrives, you wear it as often as you’d like for a month. At the end…
I am a Stitch Fix affiliate and if you make a purchase, I earn a small commission. My love for Stitch Fix is genuine and all opinions are truthful and my own. It’s been a year since I’ve shared the contents of my monthly clothing shipment from Stitch Fix. For those of you who haven’t heard of it,…
It’s time for another Themed Furniture Makeover and this month’s theme is Pottery Barn knockoff. I’ll have to admit that this theme was a tough one for me. I spent a lot of time on Pottery Barn’s website waiting for inspiration to strike and then I saw this: the Bowry Reclaimed Wood Media Console. And…
I am happy to join a group of blogging friends to share spring projects. You’ll find links to five more spring projects to enjoy at the bottom of this post. Last week was spring break and I enjoyed having time to decorate both inside my home and on my porch. A fairly new addition…
Thanks to my mom, our family room now has three new-to-us pieces: two late 1960’s end tables and a coffee table. My mom and dad were married in 1968 and purchased matching furniture for their living room which included a sofa, two end tables, a coffee table, a side chair, and an easy chair. When…
Last summer I shared some of my vintage furniture finds, one of which was a mid-century chair that I purchased in downtown Lynchburg from Estates Revisited. I loved this chair’s design but the upholstery….not so much. I’m never one to make a decision quickly and it took me nearly a year and a half…
