Crafting a Fabric-Covered Menu Board
Every week, I make a menu for the upcoming week's meals. I make my grocery list based on those meals and then post what the choices are for the week. It's a great way to stay on budget and be organized at the same time. I've always used a chalkboard to post the...
Curtain Crush
I love simple curtains and I have to admit, even after all these years, I still have a crush on them. And here's the good part: I made them out of vintage sheets. It's true. I LOVE good cotton sheets (vintage) that have that sturdy, yet soft feel. And whenever I...

IT'S ME, SERENA!

The sale became wildly popular and began attracting visitors from across the country and recognition in national magazines.

Many describe it as a bucket list event, magical, inspirational, and the best event of its kind in the USA. I describe it as the best weekend of the year!
