Oh Maxine, we've only been together for two weeks, but you're certainly keeping me on my toes! First, I've created quite the habit of talking to you. You're a camper. I'm a human. I assume this habit will continue. Secondly, my original budget to gussy you up and get you in tip-top shape by May… Continue reading MAXINE UPDATE {8 Week Delay? Not on my watch!}
Buying a vintage camper trailer has been a dream of mine for 10+ years. Last week I found her....I call her Maxine. She's a 1959 Fan Camper, made in Wakarusa, IN (very close to my childhood hometown). This will be quite the project, but I'm so looking forward to it! I will be adding some… Continue reading New Addition to the Family – MAXINE

I'm itching for Spring to get here....and stay. I live in Indiana and one day last week it was 70 degrees, and then today is was SNOWING. Seriously. Not okay. I can see my tulips peeking through the ground and am getting excited to plant my garden and hopefully build a few new raised beds.… Continue reading Be Inspired: Martha’s Flowers {Book Review}

Don't be intimidated if you've never been to one, the auctioneers are very kind and you can stand around the "regulars" until you get the hang of it. I scored some crazy good treasures this past weekend. A 10 foot vintage ladder (that I… Continue reading Become An Auction Groupie
Found a great treasure at an auction. It reminds me of a small church pew. There's a neat drawer at the base. After two yards of home decor fabric and a staple gun the piece has transformed into a true statement piece. This will be perfect in a little nook with some cute accent pillows.… Continue reading Holy Makeover, You’d Better Take a Seat!
If you need a super quick last minute Christmas gift for someone, cut up some 1" strips of paper, write your favorite things about a person, favorite memories, why they're special to you, etc., roll into tight rolls (I used a pencil), and then put them in an empty round ornament.
