Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I am absolutely thrilled that you are here. This week on the blog, I shared the makeover I gave to a recent roadside find, and then I shared the makeover I’m thinking about giving our sunporch. The plants are taking over that space and need to be corralled. It truly makes my day to connect with you. I work alone. It’s fun to talk to kind and interesting people. If you want to reach out, please comment on this blog post or email me here. You can also direct message me on Instagram or Facebook. Here’s the Happy List! CEILING WITH A VIEW…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted to see you here. This week on the blog, we talked about concrete and the problem it has posed in our basement. We also had a moment for the $20 thrifted brass table that’s now living on our sunporch. Who knows what varied topics next week will bring? Not me, and I write this blog. Uh, that might be a problem. Ha! Thank you for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here. I hope you have fun, learn something new today, and leave feeling inspired. It truly makes my day to connect with you. I work alone. It’s…

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m glad you’ve joined this party. This week on the blog, I shared the leaf trinket dish I made out of oven-bake clay. It has a heart detail that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or any time you want to spread some love. I also launched a new series chronicling the makeover of our Basement Workshop. We’re starting where most of our projects lately start – with fixing up the stone walls. How long will this series be? I wish I knew. Thank you for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here. I hope you have fun, learn something…

Hello, hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted to see you here. This week on the ol’ blog, I shared how we hung a mirror on the peg rail in our bedroom. This room has slowly evolved over the last six years, and it makes me ridiculously happy to spend time in it. In fact, I wrote this week’s Happy List from the sitting area in this room while I watched it snow outside my window. Zero complaints. I also shared the heart bunting that I made out of denim jeans, and last week I shared the grapevine heart garland I made for our mantel. This year, I’m…

Why, hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I am so happy to see you here. This week on the blog, I shared the new-to-me fiber art I hung in our living room. It’s been an exercise in patience to decorate this particular corner, but worth the wait…not that I’m ever really done. Ha! Something else that’s not quite done, but pretty close, are the stairs to our basement. I wrote about those on Wednesday. Thank you for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here. I’m very aware that lots of injustices are happening in the world and close to home. The Happy List, and this blog,…

Hi! Welcome to the Happy List and happy New Year. I’m delighted to see you here. This week on the blog, the first post of 2026 was a more introspective one. I hope you had time to read it. If not, I’ll wait. Then on Wednesday, I shared a fun decorating and crafting idea for Valentine’s Day, a grapevine heart garland. I do love celebrating love. Thank you for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here. I hope you have fun, learn something new, and leave feeling inspired. It truly makes my day to connect with you. If you want to reach out, please comment on this…

Happy early Christmas! This is the last Happy List and blog post of 2025. Yes, it’s coming to you early in the week because I’ll be taking the rest of the year off from the blog to enjoy the holidays. It has been an absolute delight to share our projects and crafts with you this year. I say it often: we would do what we do even if no one was watching, but it is more fun to share it with friends. Thank you for being one of those friends and choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here. I hope you have fun, learn something new, and…

Ho, ho, ho! Welcome to the Happy List. It’s the last weekend before Christmas. I’m sure you’re busy, so thank you for taking a break to hang out with me. This week on the blog, I shared the giant paper angel I made for our living room mantel. She’s pretty, and I’m biased. I also shared some candid shots from around our house this month. Our house does feel very festive right now. Thank you so much for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here with me. I hope you have fun, learn something new, and leave feeling inspired. It truly makes my day to connect with…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I am delighted you are here. This week on the blog, I talked about nuts. That was a first. I had fun decorating with in-shell nuts this year and shared five ways you can decorate with nuts for the holidays. I also shared pictures of our 2025 Christmas tree. I’m calling it the blue and metallic tree for lack of a better name. It is full of handmade ornaments and clippings from our property. Thank you so much for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here with me. I hope you have fun and leave feeling inspired. It makes my…

Ho, ho, ho! Happy December, and welcome to this week’s Happy list. I am delighted to see you here. This week on the blog, I shared how I decorated the Carriage House for Christmas. It’s a very rustic setting, and I should have taken a family picture in front of that mantel. I also shared how I decorated our dining room fireplace for Christmas. If you love fireplace decor, this was your week to read the blog as I published back-to-back fireplace posts. Thank you so much for choosing to spend a few minutes of your day here with me. I hope you have fun and leave feeling inspired. It…
