Treasure Hunt
Like I mentioned earlier, the Lawrence Public Library’s annual book sale was a couple weekends ago. They have THE BEST finds for cheap. If you’re library has a book sale, go! You won’t regret it. Here are a few of my found treasures… The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, illustrated by Inga Moore […]

Wardrobe Cycle
A Three Part Story Part 1: Deep clean We have one (ONE!) very small, very narrow closet in our new house. While I love our house, space is hard to come by. All coats, clothing, shoes, linens, bath towels, pool towels need to be able to fit, so out with the clothing I haven’t worn […]

Good As New: Cowboy Up
Hey ya’ll! LBD and I are in Texas this week visiting my family and soaking up some glorious, warm sunshine. Bare toes and tan shoulders. Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson on repeat. Thought it would only be appropriate to feature a lil’ hill country vintage wear…. PhatDog digvintageclothing xoUda

Four Eyes
I have four eye envy. Let me explain…. Back when I was 7 years old, I would often pretend I couldn’t see very well. Whenever I’d have to read with my mom, I would squint my eyes and press the book close to my face so my nose almost brushed the pages. This act became […]

Thrifting
This weekend, I’m starting my quest in sewing and need some fabrics to practice on, so I went over to the Goodwill to see if they had anything I could work with.

Good As New: Suitcases
I never know what to do with some of the stuff I have laying around the house. Magazines a couple issues old, photocopied recipes, TO DO lists (the never ending TO DO lists!). I don’t use some of these items enough to be left out, so when I found a variety of retro suitcases used […]

Old School
I had to drive to Manistee (only 35 minutes north of Ludington) on Wednesday and this old schoolhouse-turned-antique-shop-now-vacant-building caught my eye. And then when I was driving back down the same road to go home I noticed the FOR SALE sign on the steps. Yes, please! Will and I always talk about turning an old […]

Good As New: Serving Trays
The lease on our house is up in April, so we will be moving. Again. Which means no projects for me for awhile. But even though I don’t have any future home improvement tasks, I’m always on the hunt for ideas when we eventually settle down in a home. I’m hoping this will be sooner […]

South By Southwest
This is my “just because” present from Will, a southwest, vintage-inspired cuff. Love that man of mine! When I was younger, I lived in Paradise Valley, Arizona and thus my interest in Native American culture was born. This cuff reminds me of reading Chief Seattle’s famous letter to the United States Government for the first […]

Old Soul
I am a lover of old things. Old houses, old movies, old clothing, old furniture, old fabric, old books, etc. When Will and I moved into our charming Park Slope apartment together we didn’t have a whole lot of furniture. So, on a warm Saturday morning I set out with a friend to the Brooklyn […]
