Well it's that time of the year, time to start thinking about gardening and my screened in porch. I have lots of changes and fun things planned for our screened in porch. More on that soon. But as I was researching something for my porch on Craigslist, and I came across this company All American Reclaim. So today we are taking a field trip, are you ready? Get a cup of coffee, or a good beverage, and settle in on a comfortable chair. I have lots of photos to share. When I stumbled onto this shop it looked interesting so I knew I needed to pay a visit. Their website shared photos of vintage salvage .... and I couldn't wait to check it out! I was thrilled to see such a cool place existed so close to my house! As I walked in this is what I saw. Can you tell how happy I was to ... View Post
Chippy Blue
One of my new paint colors is Chippy Blue. I thought you would like to see this beautiful color on a piece of furniture. Many years ago I bought this clock from Country Sampler magazine. I am not sure if that magazine is still around, but many years ago I found this in there retailer section. I remember when I first bought this clock. It drove my husband nuts, because it goes off at the top of every hour. But over the years we don't even notice it chiming, even though it still does. I guess we have grown used to the sound. This clock is pine wood that has a honey stain underneath all the coats of paint that I have applied over the years. Let's see, it's has black paint, white paint, more white paint and stain. I thought my chippy blue would look perfect on this old clock. I ... View Post
Posh Pink
One of the new colors in my signature paint line is Posh Pink. I couldn't wait to shabby up my old table with posh pink. I have shared before how much I love finding pieces with original chippy paint. But sometimes even when I am lucky enough to find a special piece the color is all wrong. Like this piece. I love the patina on this old chippy tote, but not the color. So I added a little Heirloom Traditions paint and transformed it. See that table below? Several years ago I came across this old chippy farmhouse table. I have moved it to several rooms in my home. And last year I added it to my front porch. Being outside it got a little too weathered and turned a dirty, dingy, grey. I love the patina but the dirty color had to go. Instead of painting it white I decided to ... View Post
Paint In My Shop
My head is spinning, I have been working hard as in over time trying to set up the paint in my shop. I know many of you have been excited with anticipation waiting, and I really appreciate your patience. I am sure there will be a few hiccups along the way, but I hope you will be understanding as this is all very new for me.

Angel Food Heath Bar Cake
My daughter asked me to make a special dessert as an Easter gift to her. I told her about the Angel food heath bar cake I made many years ago, and one I thought she would really enjoy. My daughter is quite thin, she watches what she eats. Occasionally she indulges in a sweet treat, we all do in our home. This recipe is so easy to make and it's been in my head all of these years. Seriously so easy to remember you won't need to write it down either. As I said, this recipe was given to me many years ago when I was working in an office. Someone brought this to work and I was in love! Okay are you ready? This is super delicious, and super easy to make.
