It seems that there are many kindred spirits that share my love of vintage handkerchiefs. I can rarely pass by a flea market table that holds such small delights. My favorites are those that feature crocheted edges in bright colors. A Little Hanky Panky Help. A Little Hanky Panky Help I brought home quite a few more of these miniature handcrafted works of art after visiting my grandmother, who is also a collector. Look at these yummy white and ivory examples. Love truly is in the ... View the Post
Finding Your Niche And Decorating It Too
Houses in Arizona are famous for having open spaces above cabinetry and architectural niches throughout the home. The number one call I receive from potential clients is "I don't know how to decorate high, open spaces." To further complicate matters the spaces often have slanted ceilings. This post will cover Finding Your Niche And Decorating It Too. Here is a typical "before" picture: I always remove everything and measure the space. Also look at how the client uses the surrounding space ... View the Post
Sew, How Are You?
I am feeling the pressure to get a few items crossed off of my "to do" list. Sew, How Are You? Soon I will be returning to school and my free time will then be minimal.

Curbside Creativity Inspired By Spray Paint
Curbside Creativity Inspired By Spray Paint. Once a month we have a bulk curbside pickup in our neighborhood. I'll admit that I stalk other peoples piles of trash. If I see something I like I usually knock on the door and ask if it is ok if I take it. I have never had anyone tell me "No". The up side is that my neighbors will now often ask, "Do you want this?" before they toss it. This is probably because they don't want to hear me talk about the benefits of Freecycle again. Hey, it's not easy ... View the Post
