It’s almost hard to believe that Christmas is just five weeks away. Where has the year gone? We are busy readying our homes, making baking lists, purchased tickets for a local tour of homes and have filled our calendars with party and dinner celebrations. I started thinking about hostess gifts and knew I wanted to…
I’m popping in today with a quick brag…umm, I mean post about another great thrift store find. Now, don’t be jealous…I found a hammered brass tray for 10 cents! This tray is real brass and has some weight to it. There was definitely a bit of tarnish and pitting, but I figured for 10 cents…
Like most of us, each year we get so many Christmas cards and each year we don’t really know what to do with them. Do we put them on the fridge? Do we set them out on the mantle? I don’t know about you, but I just never like how those options look. So this…
I saw this recently and thought it was a great idea and would make a perfect gift for Christmas! I got my supplies from my local Dollar Tree & Target and probably spent about $5.00 total. Items you will need: Map Glass Beads Rubber Cement or Modge Podge Exacto Knife Self Adhesive Magnets And that’s…
For the holidays, we always like to do something special for our dogs…typically it’s embarrassing them by making them dress up in some sort of outfit. But we also like to give them a stocking full of goodies. This year I thought it would be nice to make both Teddy and Starbuck a homemade treat…
My mom did her fall tablescape last month using turquoise and coppers, but I opt for a more simple and rustic look. We have a smaller home and therefore a smaller dining room table. I don’t like to put too much on it to avoid feeling cluttered. I found these great turkey plates by Johnson…
I don’t know about you, but I love when I get a good deal…especially when it’s free! On a recent walk in my neighborhood I came across these wooden balusters that were being thrown out (I guess it does pay to exercise). They were pretty dirty, but I saw their potential. I knew I didn’t…
We are taking the day off to get ready for the little kiddies tonight. We hope that you are doing the same… My Honey Bee surprised me and carved our logo into a pumpkin! How cute is that 🙂 I think he did a great job! And we are going to try and not eat…
Fall – that favorite time of year when the air is cool and fresh, the skies are bright blue and I can create fire! I love a fire – in the fireplace, the fire pit or a fire ring. My brothers and I are true pyromaniacs – we love to get a giant roaring fire…
Hello…My name is Vicki and I can’t stop spray painting everything that is sitting still with Looking Glass spray paint! I seriously need help 🙂 Last week I wrote a post about painting glass vases with the DIY mercury glass effect for a bridal shower. After I discovered how easy this project was, and that I…
I absolutely love Fall and Winter…but these seasons wreak havoc on my skin. It’s that time of year when the cooler temperatures make my skin become more and more dry. To alleviate this problem, I make this coconut and orange sugar scrub and use it faithfully to soothe my skin. You don’t have to have…
Jennifer and I co-hosted a bridal shower and we were responsible for the floral arrangements. We decided to look for mercury glass vases. We definitely love the vintage look and the worn finish. We were surprised at the cost of these lovely vases. Even at Home Goods, for the size we wanted, an extra-large vase…
