A Note from Jill
Jill has been part of our little family, here at The Treasured Home, since last June. If you’ve been in the shop, or received a package from our on-line store, you’ve encountered Jill. Since she is such a big part of the shop, we thought it would be great for you to hear from her,…
Read MoreMilk Paint Monday
Greetings, to another week! I have lots of brilliant ideas. You too? My latest brilliant idea is to feature a different milk painted project, each week.

Read MoreGifts for Under $25
Gift giving can be overwhelming. But truthfully, it’s more about the spirit the gift is given in. A warm hug, a hand written card, taking the time to find or make something…goes a long way, to make someone feel special. We know money doesn’t grow on trees…at least not in my back yard… but here…
