It’s so fun watching something as lowly as a thriftstore lamp get a makeover.  From the before pics to the afters, it’s a transformation that is worthy of the effort.  This $5 wooden lamp was found in Port St. Joe when me and my longtime friend, Vicki, were down there a few months ago.  She [...]

Blogging has opened so many doors for me and I’m constantly amazed at how it brings folks together from all walks of life.  Who would have thought that a middle aged white woman would become buds with a young black dude in SC all because of Twitter and a love of thrifting?   That’s how it [...]
