Hello, gorgeous! Are you excited? Me too! K I love how my little space turned out! Good thing you can’t see my garage! All the excess that was in this space has been donated or added to the fiasco in our garage! I started on this project after returning from visiting my little grandson. 🙂 Growing up so quickly! I added this giant bow today, so you can find me. I’m wondering if it will still be there Saturday morning! Being a trusting/forgetful soul, I arrived this afternoon, to find the front door unlocked. Thank goodness no one did their…

Hello, gorgeous! I can’t stay away! While I’m still a vendor at the Antique Trove, I wanted to try hosting “Pop-Ups” throughout the year, in the same building, where the old Treasured Home used to be and now where The Crafted Canvas is located. It’s a small space, that’s been used for storage, for years, that I’m working hard to make “charming”. Wish me luck! “Rome wasn’t built in a day, so be kind. 🙂 I’m hoping to create a charming little space, that you’ll enjoy visiting. I love finding things for the Trove, but miss the people and community,…

Hello, gorgeous! I hope this finds you well! Hasn’t the fall weather been wonderful? We’re supposed to be getting rain this weekend, but I can’t complain! Speaking of complaining…yes, I’ve been known to do it once or twice!…we’re studying the book of Numbers in Bible study…old testament. Putting it in reference to today, we’re reminded about the importance of a positive approach, to the here and now. “Contentment” is the key word and I love the idea that contentment is not a feeling, but a decision. Imagine that! I had never thought of it that way before. We’re all wearing…

I’d like you to meet Nikki, of The Crafted Canvas! This photo was taken, early this month, when Nikki was given the keys to her new space…what six months ago, was The Treasured Home. I can’t wait for you to see what she has done with this space! I loved hearing Nikki’s story! She’s the daughter of Polish parents, Waldemar and Krystina, who came to the United States in the 1980’s to build a better life. After working for another machine shop, Nikki’s parents opened their own business and built it into the success it is today. Nikki has inherited…

Hello, gorgeous! I hope the world is treating you well! I’ve been working inside today, avoiding the heat, getting things checked off my (never-ending) to-do list. We all have one of those, right? The old shop space is getting painted this week, as we prepare for our new tenant. I can’t wait to tell you more, but I think they’ll be a great addition to the neighborhood. ____________ Final-Final Sale! It’s been five months since we closed the shop and I’ve gone through a bit of a process, letting it all go. I’m finally parting with things I thought I…

Hello, gorgeous!, I hope you’re doing great! We came up to the lake, Friday evening for a short visit, with dear friends and head back tomorrow. I’m watching a fellow, kayaking, with his black lab in the front seat. Micha won’t put his toe in the water, let alone, go kayaking! He was busy watching Bob, out on the boat. Bob continues to feel more like himself, every day. 🙂 _________ FINAL – FINAL Closeout Sale! Sat., August 23, 10:00-3:00 (At the old shop space, in Fair Oaks) While we’ve donated a ton of inventory to the Renew Thrift Store,…

Hello, gorgeous! Before I get to the really big news, I want to let you know that Bob is doing much better! He’s slowly getting his energy back, but his version of humor is all here! He got an EEG last weekend and wanted to share his new hard-wiring. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts! ❤️ __________ Final Close-Out Sale! Since we have a new tenant moving into the old shop space, soon, I’m finally forced to empty all of the nooks and crannies, at the shop, filled with incredible deals! Save the date!… August 23rd 10-3…

Hello, gorgeous!, I’m sitting out on the back patio, before heading in to cook dinner. Micha and I are listening to the birds and the children playing, nearby. The summer is half over, which breaks my heart! I’ve enjoyed a road trip across our beautiful country and visited my grandson…but that was two months ago…ancient history! ___________ I’ve got a favor to ask. Mr. Wonderful woke me Friday night. I thought he was having a bad dream, but it turned out he was having a seizure…his first one and hopefully, his last. We see a doctor today and I’m…
