Hello Friends! You may remember I mentioned something special I wanted to share with you--I am launching my first eBook! While I realize that most of you are not directly affected by divorce, many of you are close to someone who is or has been. It can be such a devastating time and my desire is to offer hope and encouragement. Do you know someone who needs to know her fairy tale is not over? {Available on Amazon ~ click on the book image!}
Happy Wednesday Friends! I read somewhere that an overcast day is a gardener's friend. I couldn't agree more and this one is timed perfectly! It has been exactly two weeks since my house was turned upside down by a burst kitchen hose and the after effects of flooding. The insurance adjuster has come and gone, and the house is pretty much back together with the exception of the damage to my original concrete floors. As I waited for bids for the repair, I found myself getting antsy--nothing a little garden therapy couldn't cure...
Greetings Friends! You've heard me say it before, and you'll probably hear me say it again. My name is Cecilia, and I am a dishaholic! This gorgeous set of Liberty Blue was such a steal, I just couldn't resist...
Greetings Friends! I want to thank all of you who sent kind thoughts and prayers when my house flooded from a burst kitchen hose. With all that is going on, I am a little behind on my usual blog visits, but I hope to catch up soon. Since my last post, slowly but surely I am making a little progress. I received some good news...
Hello Friends! Today is a detour from my usual Friday post. No fab finds or pretty pictures to share today. Unfortunately, I spent the last two days with this guy--not my favorite date for sure!
Happy Wednesday Friends! It has become a long, hot summer here in Texas. We have only had one night of rain in the last six weeks and sadly my garden is showing it! When I first started gardening, I moved plants around like furniture in my house, until I found the best place for them. Now that my garden is more established, I try not to move older plants but whether it is due to drought or another issue, sometimes a change is needed...
Greetings Friends! With many states participating in the tax free weekend, I am sure lots of you have back to school on your mind. Even so, since summer is not quite over, I decided to update my mantel before fall is upon us. This thrifted vintage game board provided the inspiration...
Happy Wednesday, Friends! I love the challenge of crafting with random clearance items like this chevron wreath I found 90% off. Come see how I used things I already had at home for a little coastal inspiration...
Greetings Friends! There is something about food cooked on the grill that just tastes better! Today I'm sharing my easy herb rub recipe sure to complement your grilled favorites...
Believer, herb gardener, dishaholic, lover of dark chocolate, Southern girl, and thrift store junkie. I’m passionate about finding beauty in imperfection. Join me as I hunt vintage treasures and transform thrift store finds. Check out my home and garden projects to see how easy it is to create a beautiful home without spending a lot of money!
I adore decorating and gardening but as a single parent have always needed to do both on a budget. Thrifting-- my all inclusive verb for shopping resale shops, thrift stores, estate and yard sales is not just my hobby but rather a lifestyle. It supports my habit of collecting Vintage dishes and Pyrex and over the years has proven invaluable for decorating and re-decorating. I am passionate about transforming and repurposing cast away furniture and love furnishing my home with pieces that have their own history. It has saved me more pennies than I can count and is the perfect solution to almost any dilemma. Your child comes home from school and informs you that he must dress like his favorite super hero TOMORROW? Your daughter can only wear modest knee length skirts to respect the local culture on her upcoming mission trip? Volunteer to host the next ladies event but then realize you don't own enough matching glasses? The answer to these questions and so many more: THRIFTING! Last, but certainly not least--thrifting is all about re-cycling, re-imagining and re-creating; the best way to shop green!
