I love summer time. Warm days, soft breezes and warm, ripe organic fruit strait off the tree. My Uncle has a couple apricot trees from California that produce the tastiest little treats right at the end of May to welcome in the beginning of summer. This little girl did more eating of the fruit than … [Read more…]
Prowling the letter streets of Flagstaff one early spring afternoon I came across this lonely, dated table that I fell in love with instantly. It looked so sad sitting alone on the weed infested sidewalk, but I rescued it immediately! How can you pass up a piece like this when they literally don’t make them … [Read more…]
I have a great workbench in my garage that my Dad built for me in the sweltering heat last July: Thanks Dad, you’re the best. The indoor bench is super sturdy so I can really bang away on it, has all my tools above it on a pegboard, has excellent local lighting, has good storage … [Read more…]

During my days at UCDavis (go Ags!) I remember walking downtown and seeing the cutest idea that has stuck with me for years: someone had made a trunk sweater for a few of the trees that lined the downtown sidewalks! I loved the idea for its beauty aspect and untraceable creator aspect as well! So … [Read more…]
I love the concept of “use what you have”, especially if it’s easier, creates less waste, saves time and is super cute! So allow me to share a fun, easy and no mess way to serve a healthy snack to … anyone! Start with the winter season’s gift: oranges, tangerines, tangelo’s or even mandarin oranges … [Read more…]
I love bins. I think along with hats and handbags I have a certain weakness for bins. I just love how you can pick out something pretty and make if functional while having the flexibility to change it out later if you want! They are so fun! Right now JoAnn’s is having a 50% off … [Read more…]
