I swap out books on my vintage brass napkin holders as the season or holiday comes up. Here we’re going from Halloween to Fall. I love the idea of using these vintage napkin or letter holders for this. I got the idea years ago from maybe an influencer using an IKEA product? I’m not sure…
Happy Kwanzaa if you celebrate! Let’s do a book swap! I use these vintage brass napkin/envelope holders as shelves to display seasonal and holiday books. I switched our Christmas books: Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies’ Christmas Book, and Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast Who Donut for Kwanzaa books: Together for Kwanzaa and The Seven Days…
The original lights on this estimated 8-year-old tree half went out; the first two tiers died. So we cut all the lights off with wire cutters to restring it with new string lights. The strings were intricately woven into the branches and there were little plastic clips also holding them on. This just made an…
As soon as I saw this tub, I wanted it. Not to use it but to rehome it to others who would. I’m helping a client declutter as they downsize to move. This tub was in their garage behind their door. They honestly kept forgetting about it unless we where in the garage looking at…
I tried to rehome these hooks my best friend, a professional organizer, came across in her work. Buy Nothing Post: Give: 3 chrome double hook hooks One like but no Comments or takers after several months, during the summer. Well it turns out that my son’s school has these things, all types of double hooks…
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie from the Netflix Halloween episode. Shown are Pig, Mouse, Moose and Cat, my version. We had Pig (Piggy), Mouse, and Cat (Bartley from True and the Rainbow Kingdom and yes I know ours is pink and not black). I found Mouse at Sprouts this fall season. We realized…
Ants on a log, our version. We use carrots and today I had black (raisin) and red (craisin) ants. My son isn’t a big plain raisin guy but he’ll eat them as ants. #kids#kidfood#antsonalog#raisins#craisins
This is our thrifted costume for Book Character Friday. My son chose to be Oliver with Mouse from “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” so made their outfits. He used his own navy shorts form school instead of jeans (he doesn’t like jeans and it was too hot for pants) and I planned to…
National Apple Day! How do you apple? We like slices and I like applesauce. About once a year I’ll make an apple pie. This is a pretty standard snack for my son at school. An apple, this one is Honeycrisp though he also enjoys Galas, and a homemade muffin. This muffin happens to be pumpkin…
New glasses today! I’ve been having trouble with oxidation and buildup on my old copper-colored glasses, so I talked through all of my concerns with Envision Eye Center and these new titanium glasses are supposed to take care of everything: oxidation, slipping down my nose, and the nosepieces causing indentations on my nose. I’m keeping…
