Hey Reader, I know Thanksgiving is still a ways away, but I thought it could be fun today to start daydreaming a bit about your holiday table. If you’ve been around here a while, you know I’m not much for “perfectly coordinated” anything, and that includes a Thanksgiving table. This is the holiday where collected and cozy wins over Pinterest-perfect every time. So instead of going with a matching tablescape set this year, try this instead: 1. Mix your metals. Brass candlesticks next to silver...

Hey Reader, I know we're still a few days shy of October, and you may not be ready to think about Christmas yet . . . but I hope you won't mind if I go ahead and open that door a little! You know the retail world is always a few months ahead, so Christmas has been on my brain for a while now. A few weeks ago I found a few Department 56 Christmas village houses. I've always been a sucker for anything in miniature, so I grabbed these little houses faster than you can say deck the halls. I spent...

Hey Reader, I know it's been a while since I've shared a new YouTube video. Honestly, this summer it was just hard to keep up with it! A few weeks ago, I did get one filmed though, and it just went live this morning. So come along with me up to Joplin, Missouri , where I shop two large antique malls. Lots of eye candy in this video! >>> Click here to watch Living in the 90s This past week I had to make a sad admission - things from my youth are now "vintage" 😂 In the 90s, I remember my mom...

We have a little old dog who will be 14 in about 2 months. For the past two days in a row, he has somehow managed to take a swim in our pool. I haven't actually seen it happen either time . . .he just shows up soaking wet at the back door with a trail of water behind him, leading straight to the pool steps. He's a great little dog, but he's never been a swimmer. So the first time it happened, I assumed he fell in. He likes to wander around the edge and sniff in the mulch. But the second time...
