After recently sharing a Halloween project from the Sadie Archives, I reached back in and found a Christmas project to share! This project with a flocked wreath never made it onto the blog, despite finishing it nearly 10 years ago. And you know what? The time has finally come.Read more ›
Last year, I was on one of my regular thrifting “adventures” when I came across a brass trivet of a turkey. It didn’t look very old and was missing a few rubber feet on the underside. But, I picked him up because I thought he might be the perfect centerpiece for a Thanksgiving wreath.Read more ›

Whenever I see woven mats or straw trivets at thrift stores, I can’t help but grab them. And while I’ve upcycled trivets before into my boho basket wall décor, I’ve been secretly stashing away a few in fall colors. Because I wondered if I could turn them into pumpkin decor for Fall.Read more ›
My husband doesn’t always drink whiskey, but when he does, he often looks for one in a pretty bottle that I might like. This one (and the label) caught his eye, and when he finished it, I set the bottle aside to transform it into a mid-century modern vase.Read more ›
