Olive Annies

This is Olive Annies. It is an adorable shop located in the historic Coronado district of downtown Phoenix. The owner, (or "the finder" as she calls herself) Lani Griffin, spent 9 months renovating this quaint, adorable teeny, bungalow. Olive Annies She is one crafty queen. Look at how simple, but cute, this candle holder is: a simple mason jar and burlap webbing. Add a bit of sand and presto! Instant adoration. Sigh~ Love. What great displays!

Before and Afters of 2008

Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is hosting a Before and After Party. I thought I would show a few of my favorites~ and yours. Before and Afters of 2008. Back when I first began blogging I found a set of floral prints at Marshall's for a great deal. But they seemed a little plain.  I decided to alter them up a bit.

One of the things on my "Christmas break/ fun things to do" list has been visiting a few of my favorite blogs and going way back to their humble beginnings and reading all of the past posts that I missed. (Yes, I do have a bit of time on my hands.) When I saw that Cindy from My Romantic Home was hosting "A Year in Review 2008" I thought it might be fun to give you a glimpse of what went on in my blog over the course of the past 7 ...

You don't have to be green with envy. I'll show you how to make your own. Free Gift Tags First I put on my elf shoes.
