Over the weekend I did do some looking around in some vintage stores. Spend too much time looking and you are bound to find something. I ended up getting this old glass window. I have had a thing for old glass windows for. ever. And, I knew right away what I had planned for it. I have a couple of ideas on how I'd like to use this. Do you like old windows too? Have you used them in decorating or in the garden? After some searching on Pinterest I found these pictures for inspiration. Which one is your dream? We'd love to invite … [Read more...]

Bedside Table Space Intervention
By on May 1, 2012 with
You know when life takes over and you become too tired to put away clean laundry, put away the scissors and drop your book or magazine off the bed right in the middle of reading? Yeah, that. So, today I am going to share with you the sad state of my bedside space and what I did about it. Below. It wasn't making me happy. It was down right treacherous getting into bed with out slip sliding away on a magazine. Evidence of ironic attempts at order - sloppily piled magazines leaning up against books on Decluttering and … [Read more...]
How To Pick a Sofa
By on April 25, 2012 with
How do you pick out a sofa? I mean, buying a sofa is like adding a new member to your family, right? It has to have the right personality, blend in, be comfortable, unpretentious and pleasing to the eye, right? The last time we bought a sofa, it was about coming home. We bought the sofa that was affordable and symbolic. But, it only held up for 8 years before the frame broke. This time we decided to choose a sofa that would last. As part of our participation in Test It, Blog It, Win It at Su Casa*, we were invited to come … [Read more...]
Magical Fairy Container Garden
By on April 22, 2012 with
I've been thinking of doing a fairy garden for some time ~ and since warm spring weather has been playing hide and seek with us here in Minnesota, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make an inside fairy container garden. Fairies it turns out are kinda overpopulating and are in need of habitats - thus the rage. And, well with my bff all the way in Maryland, I'm thinking why not make friends with some invisible people. (Hmmmm. Lonely for some girl time much?) Fairy Gardens are starting to become popular enough … [Read more...]
Spring Pumpkins
By on April 16, 2012 with
We're not gonna lie. We're a little bit obsessed about velvet pumpkins. So much so that we can't just stand one season of them. So, we decided to do Spring Pumpkins ~ in fresh raspberry, coral-ly, springy delicious colors. Believe it or not ~ this coral color velvet was once buried to the back of the velvets in the workroom. Until ~ we saw it and brought it back in for spring! Isn't it delicious? And, that's not all! Remember the HeartGrams we feature for Valentine's Day? The red beautiful plush pumpkins in … [Read more...]

Valentine Treats To Savor With Tea
By on February 8, 2012 with
Taking time to savor the moment with a pot or cup of tea has always been something I have enjoyed in my day. Over the years, I have enjoyed the preparation of putting out a proper cup of tea for friends, with fancy favorite dishes and small bites. Sometimes I just pop a mug, quick in the microwave to make a single cup to enjoy by myself. My family has learned I rarely make something warm to drink without a nibble on the side. They have also learned to enjoy the nurturing moments of a warm cup and a moment to chat. The … [Read more...]

Eclectic Holiday Decorating Tips
By on December 19, 2011 with
Holiday decorating for us is usually all about pulling bits and pieces to create a unique look. For us, we don't decorate with a "from the box" look. We like each year to be unique and eclectic. We will pull items from different seasons, like these velvet, Plush Pumpkins. We know they are pumpkins, but the fact they are made with a lush velvet, makes them a great addition to any festive holiday display. One of the things we try and keep in mind when decorating is using items with different textures and made from different … [Read more...]
