I’ts so easy to soften the look of a porch by hanging curtains up using a few nails and curtain clips. I just love that look. Last year, I hung drop cloths on the porch to create that look. I really liked them, but this year I wanted to change it up a bit. Drop …
I am having so much fun decorating my new greenhouse! It’s a she shed/ greenhouse, because its my own little happy place. It’s not only pretty, it’s very functional! I have potted plants out there, spilled lots of dirt on the floor, stored all my pots and gardening tools …and of course, hung a vintage …
These easy coffee filter flowers got me through the dreary days of winter! There aren’t any flowers blooming just yet here, but I have already been to garden centres, and am planning what my new flower bed will look like by my new greenhouse! To make these flowers, you will need: 10 coffee filters for …
I stop into my local Thrift Stores frequently…you never know what treasures await! The thrill of the hunt, so to speak! On one of my latest stops, I spied this tureen. I didn’t care for the flowers on it, but the shape of it was so pretty! And for $2.00, it had to come home …

Easter is almost here, and I thought I would share a last minute craft that you can do with kids or grand kids! Two things that I love are vintage and chenille. I wanted to try to make chenille Easter eggs, so I gathered an old chenille bedspread that I had, that I use for …
One place I love to decorate is my mantel. If you don’t have a mantel, any shelf will do! The majority of items I used on this year’s Spring mantel are from the thrift store, the dollar store, or vintage. I have had the old headboard, that I painted white, on top of the fireplace …
There isn’t any green grass yet, and certainly no flowers in bloom, but that doesn’t stop me from decorating the porch for Spring. In Southern Ontario, our winters seem so long, so as soon as the days get a little longer in March, and the sun is out…its time! I keep my vintage wicker chair …
I am a green tea junkie. Did you know that to brew the perfect cup of green tea, the water should be at 80-85 degrees F? My kettle is temperature controlled, so I can brew the perfect cup. My stainless steel kettle just didn’t match my kitchen décor (and to purchase a high end coloured …
