Great First Day at the Shop!
What a day! I felt like a kid in a candy store, today. Our first customers were Mark and Julie Peabody. They’re a Delta farming family and were in search of Milk Paint! Jini, my fab assistant/friend and I welcomed them with open arms. I think I had Julie, who reads the blog, a little…

Read MoreLooking for a New Ride
Greetings, dear friends! Without much fanfare, but with so much to celebrate, The Treasured Home will officially open for business Saturday morning!

Read MoreThe Treasured Home Opens Soon!
It has been so much fun, making an antique and DIY workshop out of an office suite! (I remember showing the space to a few friends before any work was done and I could almost “hear” the doubt.) Everything has just come together, though, almost magically…as though it was meant to be. (Yes, I believe…

Read MoreHi End, Low End… New York
Well, We just wrapped up another day, walking the streets of Manhattan. I’ve taken my partner in crime in all directions. Yesterday he opted out of shopping at the Salvation Army Thrift store.

Hello again, from the “Big Apple”! Today, we’re going to make our annual pilgrimage to ABC Carpet & Home.

The furniture and home accessories are…
Read MoreAdventures in New York City
What a city! You can find just about anything here! We don’t come with a well planned agenda, but love to take each day as it comes. While I find some of the subway riders a bit unsavory, the system is by far, more efficient than riding a taxi, sitting in traffic. The subway system…
Read More8 Things I Learned at the Southern Bloggers Conference (and will do this week!)
Greetings, blog sisters!, I left the Haven Conference in June, with pages of notes, that I shared with you. A couple of the things I learned were put to use, but not nearly enough! The SBC was shorter, smaller and not as slick, but I left with a few new friends and a short list…
