The Olde Farmhouse Vintage Market has now come and gone. And whadda weekend! Here’s how it all went down… literally. I borrowed my neighbour’s trailer once again, (thanks Rudy and Corinne!!) and with a truck stuffed to the rafters (most likely overweight), friend Erika and I head out the day before to set up. I’ll just […]
When people ask what I do for a living, I still stumble over the question. Because the story keeps taking new turns. It’s particularly funny when I go through customs. I have to rehearse so I don’t stutter. (Never stutter through customs.) “What do you do for a living?” Don’t stutter… don’t stutter… But the […]
I don’t really understand why so many wait until the new year to clean and organize. It’s silly, really. There are just so many other fun things to do instead. Like go on Facebook.

It took me awhile to come up with the words for this series. So much transpired, it was completely overwhelming. I think you know me well enough by now to realize I can’t possibly write about an experience like this in just one short post. I want to take you with me… so here we […]
I have done at least 1 million garage sales. Maybe even 2. But when you cart your stuff off your property into a small temporary booth, it’s a whole different story! Remember my other posts on all my stuff I was bringing HERE and HERE? I knew I was in trouble as soon as I started […]
So, on the weekend, I went to an antique auction! It’s been YEARS since I sat in the sidelines, white knuckling my number as my favourite page came up in the roster. I’m not sure if I adore the process or not, but I hung in there, because some things just needed to come home […]
“Where did you find that? “Where can I buy it? “Where’s your store? As many times that I’ve created a project, I get asked at least that many times if not more where one can find the stuff I use to create with. Or if I sell it. There’s never been an easy answer because so much […]
