| Introduction | I am a long time lover of thrifting. My Dad took me to my first country auction sale when I was five. I remember bidding on and buying a rancid red lipstick and a chocolate box full of vintage (this was 1965) rhinestone broaches for 25 cents. BOY! If I had those broaches now!! Actually...I may have them somewhere hiding in a box!!! I love anything vintage, especially if it has a rose design on it. I collect a bit of everything. My decorating theme is "shabby romantic victorian cottage chic"!!! We live in a Tudor style house nestled in a maple grove. I am married to my best friend, Tim, for twenty-seven years. We have two wonderful children, Wes and Ali and a 13 year old neurotic poodle-mutt named Honey. I sew, knit, crochet and like to fix things (lamps!!) and refinish furniture. I love gardening with perennials and vegetables. |
