Living a firsthand life using secondhand things.
Earlier this year, I published a St. Patrick’s Day project here on my website that involved (temporarily) decorating vintage milk glass vases. I wasn’t sure how well it would be received- but boy, was I oh-so-pleasantly surprised! So, of course, I started wondering if I could do something similar in Fall. More specifically, what if I turned a few milk glass vases into Halloween ghosts?Read more ›
After wrapping up my Halloween pillows project recently, I was reminded of an o-l-d project of mine from several years ago. That project and blog post (some Halloween embroidery on a thrifted sweater) needed tweaking- including re-editing the photos and such, so I removed it from my website. But after seeing how similar my jack-o-lantern pillow looked to it, I decided it was high time to re-publish that long-forgotten Halloween project post.Read more ›

And I think I can help you out with that!Read more ›
Flannel shirts are one of those types of clothing that lends itself beautifully to crafting after its wearing days are done. Whether it’s the fuzzy feel of the fabric or the (typically) plaid designs it sports, crafting with flannel shirts is very popular- especially as cold weather approaches.Read more ›
As soon as I get wind of Michaels putting out their Halloween supplies each year, I head out to scope out the merchandise. Rarely do I actually buy any of their pre-made decor, but I love to see what they offer. And the first thing I spotted was this selection of Halloween pillows.Read more ›

It’s true, my love of vintage patches is pretty well documented here on my website. I’ve talked about adding them to various accessories in the past, but today I’m revisiting another application. One that is specific to the back-to-school time of year: the Varsity Sweater.Read more ›
