To be honest, I had to do a taste test before trying this out on the Chief. My Chief is a good, down-home type of guy. He is “no frills”. He loves plain, simple food. Sometimes, I know he thinks this California born & raised girl he married comes up with the craziest concoctions. I…

Vintage Drapes Upcycle and a Thrifty Valance Idea
As promised in a previous post, here is the “how to” on the Estate Sale Drapes. First, let me remind everyone that my friend, Cha Cha revamped these gorgeous drapes. Not I.

a cure for the winter blues???
My feelings of cabin fever has been a little over whelming. We were given a tease of warmer weather for 2 days. Now, once again snow & cold is in the forecast for the weekend. I found these lovely pictures a couple of days ago ~ and felt refreshed & could just smells the pink…
