Read MoreMy New Laughing Goat…(Happenings at the shop!)
I have a new friend at the shop! I call him “the laughing goat”, because he looks so happy. Today was my first full day, back at the shop. I leave, knowing that everyone’s in good hands, with Patti there! She sold a number of large pieces, while I was gone, so I did lots…
Read MoreNeed a vanity, darling?
Have you ever sat at a vanity, to put on your war paint? I think my mom used to say she was “putting on her face”! Like there wasn’t a face there before! It seems like all the movie stars used to sit at their vanity, brushing their thick, wavy hair. Or, applying their red…

Hello, dear friend!, You may recall that a few weeks ago,a customer at the shop was downsizing. She brought a wonderful buffet to the shop, and it has slowly made a change for the better! Here she is after just a quick topcoat, to test a color. The rest of her is wearing a blond…

Are you looking for an addictive hobby that lets you express your creativity? I’m talking about a hobby with no right or wrong.

Read MoreSunrise at Lake Tahoe
I’ve been spending summers in Lake Tahoe for fort-two years! Yet, I think today was my first chance to witness sunrise for myself! Mr. Wonderful rises with the birds, between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m. Usually, I’m proud if I make it out of bed by 6:30 or 7 a.m. I have a real knack at…

I had so much fun on my last buying trip and got such positive customer feedback, that we loaded up the “Burb” again this morning. Mr. Wonderful has three beautiful bottles tucked into the backseat, using seat belts and straps, to keep the kids in place! I told Bob it’s like having three kids in…

Read MoreNew at The Treasured Home
Well, what a difference a year makes! About this time last year, I was making 4th of July pinwheels and banners. Fortunately, I saved last year’s efforts, since I’ve been painting more than paper crafting. Youse recall that I said “Adios” to Maison Blanche a while back. This was my first project, using “Locally Grown”…
