Bits & Pieces Jewelry Box Makeover

I’ve been promising a jewelry box makeover for two months now and I’m finally done!  This turned out better than I had hoped!  It’s much more functional for jewelry storage, even though it’s a little “Frankenstein-ed” together.  You also can’t really call it a box anymore!  This is a fairly long post with lots of […] Read more…

Making a Vintage Spring Sign

Since I’m on spring break and spring is all around us I decided it’s time to do some spring decorating.  Is that enough spring in one sentence for you?  : )  I’ve got some other things up my sleeve for re-doing my mantle shelf, so that will be coming soon.  Today I’m going to show you […] Read more…
