Pixie Skirt by Creolesha

I am not used to modeling clothing I am more of a behind the camera kind of person.....but this amazing skirt was worth being on the other side and it gave me an excuse to put some make up on and do my hair!  


The ever so talented Wendy at Creolesha custom made this skirt. It is made from a mixture of cottons, vintage lace, and vintage/upcycled fabrics. They all come together to create the most beautiful one of a kind skirt.  

Wendy has been designing and selling vintage and upcycled clothing on Etsy since 2008.  She has also been featured in Couture Magazine several times.  Her designs are so original and unique.  She does an amazing job and she is wonderful to work with!

Update to the Grandfather Clock

My husband and I bought this clock brand new, it was one of the first pieces we bought together.  I remember being so excited to bring it home, I have loved it ever since!  
When we bought it 8 years ago I really liked black furniture, but I was ready for something lighter.


I love how the white pops against my walls.  It really lightens up our landing.  I painted this clock with DecoArts Chalky Finish white paint. This is a great paint to use over the top of something that has been lacquered.  I have painted several pieces of furniture that were previously lacquered with latex and other specialty paints and so far this paint has help up the very best.  I lightly sanded this clock and wiped it down really good before I painted it.  Since I was going from black to white I applied about 4 coats to get really good coverage.   




I then lightly distressed the details to let the black show through, and I sealed it with a water based poly urethane as I know sticky hands will be all over it.  



  This clock is a Howard Miller, it isn't anything too fancy, the clock is powered by batteries, but I love all of the details and those cute little feet.

Thanksgiving Tablescape

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?  I am not, but my table is!!
Back when I was a newbie blogger I would seek out tablescapes.  I loved how different elements were incorporated in and yet it came together in one inviting space.  
Well I am happy to say I have finally done my own Thanksgiving tablescape.



I put the kids to bed a few nights ago and started rearranging while my husband enjoyed his football game.  He chucked at me a bit, but for some reason this is what makes me happy.  I love to arrange and rearrange until it looks just perfect.  One of the most tricky parts is getting it to look right in your camera, as the camera seems to bring out every flaw!  


I used my Great Grandma's hand painted dishes I inherited.  I just love the fruit and leaves painted on them, they are perfect for Thanksgiving.  I think we will start a new tradition and used them every Thanksgiving.

Merry Everything and a Happy Always!

I can't believe it is that time of year again!  I love the holiday season and of course decorating for it.  I am not usually this on top of decorating but I have the wonderful opportunity of teaming up with Homespun Signs to give this beautiful sign giveaway!  


I love that this sign is so versatile, it can be dressed up with some glitter or more casual with a few of my nutcracker collection!


Does anyone else love nutcrackers as much as I do?  When my husbands Grandma passed away each Grandchild inherited a nutcracker from her collection and ever since then I have been hooked.  I am always look for the perfect one to add to my collection.  My newest one is the tall gold one.  I found him at an estate sale and just had to have him!
