I am so excited to show you my new upcycled kitchenΒ island!!!

Shine On, Grandma, Shine On!


They say a picture is worth a thousand words…

Let’s see just how true that is…

Oh the stories behind this picture…

First off, let’s start with the vintageΒ toasters, which don’t show up very well in this pic.Β  There’s a cute little scroll mark on the front.

I found them at the dump, with the cords cut off, and quickly snapped them up – putting them in our truck.Β  As I write this, I laugh, thinking about the look on my husbands face. Read more

The Ditch, the Dr. and the Datebook


Yesterday was an interesting kind of day.

A fairly early doctor’s appointment in the morning…a mere 2 hours away.Β  Add in a little funky weather.Β  A curve in the road where my tire seemed to catch an edge.Β  And awaaaayyyyy I went…spinning into the snow filled ditch.Β Β Trust me,Β a strong prayerΒ was said!

As I sat in the ditch, I said a quiet thank you to God…called 911…and then called the Dr.’s office desperately pleadingΒ for a later appt.

It’s amazing how good people are! Read more
