23 on the 23rd!

Happy Birthday Thad!

Turning 23 on the 23rd of February!

Enjoy your day! Love you. xoxo

New Bench

I just finished making a bench for my mudroom.

I bought the legs (which are actually porch railings)

from an antiques mall.

The top is a piece of pine from a lumber mill.

All told it cost me under $30.

The legs are as found. I stained and sealed the top.  : )

Happy Valentine's Day

Nape made these delicious treats from scratch.

Of course his girlfriend got most of them but he did save 

one for each of his parents.  <3 :)

More Antique Finds

I seem to be drawn to vintage shoe cleaning kits.

I love the different brushes and polishes that

you find in these wooden kits.

I also like old wooden shoe forms.

I found this wonderful vintage blue leather suitcase.

There are all kinds of neat things in this kit.

Including old polishes from England, lots of brushes,

and a cool bottle of white shoe polish that originally cost 35 cents!
