Repurpose a Vintage French Tart Pan as a Fragrant Naturescape: Friday's Find #195


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Last weekend I attended quite a few garage sales and would you believe I came home empty handed? That does happen sometimes, though it's actually been awhile since it's happened to me. However, I still have something special to share today--a find-inspired mini project. Come see how I repurposed a thrift store French tart pan as a simple naturescape...

Retired Vintage Snowbabies: Friday's Find #194


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends!  Do you stop at church rummage sales? Depending on how they are organized, it can take a little hunting, but I almost always score some great finds--like this week's fabulous features. I had to dig through a big box of ornaments but I found this assortment of vintage Department 56 retired Snowbabies collectibles...

Dark Chocolate Mini Cakes with Nutella Glaze...from a Boxed Cake Mix!


Happy Wednesday, Friends! When my family visited for Easter, we also celebrated my mother's birthday. Remembering the many birthday cakes she's baked for me over the years, I wanted to make something special for her. At the same time, since I was preparing a lot of other food for the brunch, I needed something simple. Today I'm sharing how I made these tea room pretty mini cakes using a boxed cake mix...

TGITF Friends! I'm always on the lookout for vintage plates to add to my transferware gallery wall, so I was thrilled to come across two patterns I haven't seen before. The larger one is Johnson Brothers Old Flower Prints and the smaller one is Myott, Son & Co. England Bonnie Dundee and the colors are perfect with my collection. {See the evolution of my plate gallery wall, here.}

The Good Shepherd Vintage Book Vignette


Hi there, Friends! With today being Palm Sunday and Easter just a week away, I am sharing something very close to my heart. When I was a little girl, there was an old Bible story book at my grandparents' house that captured my heart. Though it originally belonged to my uncle, it was eventually passed down to me to take home. This was my favorite of the many beautiful illustrations. Now to be honest, I haven't thought of that book in ages, that is until a recent thrifting adventure brought me...

Friday's Find #192



TGITF Friends! It was love at first sight when my eyes landed on this adorable bunny teapot at one of the thrift stores I shop weekly. We've been having such gorgeous weather, I took some of my photos outside this week, but looks right at home with the vintage jadeite spring tablescape I shared several weeks ago.

15 Minute Upcycled Thrift Store Frame Chalkboard



Happy Wednesday, Friends!  First, I want to thank you for all of the kind words and prayers on behalf of Audrey and her husband. Here's her latest update: 

Thank you to all of you that prayed for him. He is home now and feeling better, but has to wear a portable defibrillator for awhile in case of a heart attack. May God bless every one. Hugs, Audrey Z.  

Now for today's 15 Minute Fix--this time the simple upcycle of two recent thrift store finds...

Chocolate Covered Berry Bouquet and a Special Prayer Request


Hi there, Friends! Chocolate covered strawberries are one of my favorite indulgences. They can be quite pricey to buy, so I make mine at home. While they are always a hit with guests, they tend to be a little messy, so I came up with a fun way to serve them on sticks. Come see how I used them to create a festive edible bouquet that's pretty enough to give as gift or serve as a small centerpiece for Easter or any occasion...
