Dear Friends of The Treasured Home, I hope you’re enjoying a relaxing spring day! I normally have no problem getting my message out to you, but I’m struggling with this one. I guess I’ll just get right to it. I never opened the shop expecting to make a lot of money. In fact, you may have heard me refer to the shop as my non-profit! Yet, I have benefited in so many other ways! I’ve made wonderful friends and had a blast teaching workshops and shopping for things I hope you’ll love! These last two months have been challenging…

Hey there! If anything good has come out of this shut down , it’s that I’ve had the chance to paint and create. That has been really fun! Based upon ou r paint sales, online and curbside, I know many of you have been doing the same thing! Before I forget, I’m planning to do a small live Facebook Live, featuring about 5 or six maxi dress styles, Friday, at 4 p.m. They’re fun, comfortable pieces, perfect to wear to a barbecue or entertaining at home. Just go to http://www.facebook.com/thetreasuredhome Well, the state of California now says that we can reopen May…

I hope you’re doing well! Last week, I decided to do my first virtual Zoom furniture painting class. Just to make sure you didn’t forget, I sent out two different reminders. One email had the correct link and…you guessed it…the other email had an incorrect link! Not good. I promise to avoid that, hopefully, in the future! I’m sure it was frustrating for those of you using the incorrect link. As…

Hello friends! How are you holding up, during all of this craziness in our world, right now? I wish I was one of those people who could relax easily, reading a book or binging on Netflix. It’s just not something I excel at! I am getting some couch time in today though…making plans to update our web site and writing to you! I’ve been feeling like I have Iron poor blood lately, (to date myself). Since one of my new year’s resolutions was to listen to my body, I’m laying low. As I enjoy some peppermint tea and a peanut…

Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but the last week has been an all out roller coaster ride! Not the kind of ride that makes you laugh and giggle, but the scary kind. But since that’s no fun to talk about, let’s talk about making things pretty. Let’s talk about something we have control over! During times of uncertainty, I do at least two things. I trust that God will be with us, as we navigate the unknown. 2. I rely on distraction. Makes me think I’m in control! 3. Watching…

Hello sweetheart!, How are you holding up, with all this virus stuff? I hope you aren’t losing sleep over all the non-stop news! From the number of customers at the shop today, it may be time for all of us to get our affairs in order! I sure hope not, because I’ve got a shop packed with new spring clothes and more coming in the days ahead! 🙋🏼 Yep, it’s true. We’ve never had so many clothes. Just had to order more hangers and racks! Cut Loose cotton knit shirt, with 3/4 sleeve, comes in grey and white and…

A healthy baby girl! Great news! After running errands this morning, I stopped by the shop. After unpacking a few small deliveries, I ventured into some creative play time, which is always fun! But of course, it’s never quite that simple. For me, entering the shop is like falling head over heals, down the rabbit hole! One thing always leads to another. After my normal course…

Since the shop didn’t open until 11:30 yesterday, (Sunday), we had a slow-moving morning…my favorite! As devoted grandparents, we had a sleep-over with Micah (Jill’s dog), and the three of us took our time getting out of bed! It was sort of like a doggie sandwich! I’m delighted to say that our first Charcuterie 101 class, for March, is filled with 12 of you lovelies! You are all the best! From what I hear, this is going to be a great class. I think…
