I’ll start this off by saying this is a brag post, but I swear, it’s more than well-deserved and for the right reasons… At the age of 18 (going on 19), I met my soul mate. Throughout high school, I knew who he was, but didn’t think he ever noticed me. Turns out, he did […]

Valentine’s Day has to be one of the craftiest holidays of the year. Remember those elementary school days where you’d stay up late the day before the big Valentine ’s Day party, preparing all of your valentines and creating your own card box? I still remember picking special ones with certain sayings for my friends, […]

There’s nothing quite like setting foot in a great antique store. The smell of old knick knacks and clutter really get my creative juices flowing… I’m not kidding! I’ve been collecting antiques for almost four years now at various stores and flea markets and while most of my trips are enjoyable, I find it’s also […]
