The Summer is over, and the Fall is here. But I have so many photos of how lovely our yard looked this year. I thought today it would be fun if I shared a few of my favorites. We had such lovely weather all summer that we were able to really enjoy it. We had a couple of parties, had about half of our meals on the patio, and started countless days in the yard with a cup of coffee. You should be...

Old stuff- I love it! Worn, used, and loved. But sometimes an old item needs a new life. I am here to show you a stool that I bought at an Estate sale for just a couple of dollars that got a new life with a new coat of paint. Here is my vintage, or just plain old step stool. He had a few paint drips here and there. Both steps were a bit rusty and the legs were rusty too at the feet. He was still...

What I learned from an Instagram Photo a Day Challenge

Sometimes, even creative people need a little push!!! I started Instagram earlier this year. I started so that I could follow some of my favorite bloggers. From what they were writing and posting, it seemed they were spending time and energy on this little app and I wanted to find out why! It was a slow learning process. I think I may even have started out doing everything wrong, and I almost...

Hello There! I've decided to put in some more time here. My plan is to post at least 3 to 4 times a week. In order for me to make this a success, I will need to do the work. Makes sense, right? Let's get to it ;)   At the start of the summer, I had a half day of work. I was at home alone and puttering around the yard. The weather was nice and we had just gotten some annuals for the patio. I...

A How To Propagate Succulents, So easy…

Hello. Happy Fall. I haven't been around, so lets just jump right in!   I had this succulent that was getting really tall and leggy. So tall, that it was falling over the side of the planter it was in. He was also growing Flower/ Plant babies off his trunk and out of his roots. I researched and found out that succulents will do that because they are not getting enough sun. Well baby, we live...
