I Heart Spray Paint

Spray paint is really one of my best friends.....I love how easily it can change any object!  I bought this old magazine rack at a garage sale for $3 and spray painted it for my family room.  LOVE it!

Vintage Lumber

We rebuilt our deck in August at the new house and ever since I have been searching for things to make with the old vintage(salvage) lumber.  I was looking on esty one day and found the most awesome dog bowl holder!!  I just fell in love and had to get it for my super sweet doggie!  We couldn't have made it ourselves because we didn't have lumber the correct size, so I bought it.....it was a ridiculously expensive purchase. (not something I would normally do and my husband is in shock!)  Here it is:

But, how could I resist when I have the cutest dog in the world who LOVES it!!

Have you made an outrageous purchase for your pet?  Make me feel better and tell me about it!  :)

Got Some Art

I posted back in August about how I needed some artwork for my house.  Well, we ordered one of those photos from Society6.  Here's the finished product:

It's almost Show Time!

I know I have been neglecting my blog a lot lately, I am very sorry for that.  I have just been swamped between work and everything going on at home!  Here's what has been consuming all of my time:

Fall is Upon Us

It's cold here in Kansas City today and I realized fall is upon us!!  I LOVE fall...love, love.  I mostly LOVE making pumpkin flavored snacks...but I also love the weather, going to the pumpkin patch, Halloween, etc. 

Now that I have a new house, I've realized that I need a fall wreath for the front door!  Here's a few options that I found, I'll probably end up making my own....I'm thinking burlap needs to be the main component.

Do you have a wreath for every season for your house?

I'm still here!

Man, I have been swamped lately!  Between work, etsy store orders, activities and getting ready for my trunk show I have been totally ignoring my blog!  I'm so sorry to all you faithful readers.....Erica!

Here's a couple of orders through my etsy.com store that have been keeping me busy:

 

Happy Anniversary

I can hardly believe it's been a year ago tomorrow that I married the love of my life!
