Giveaway: Cane Back Earring Rack

Good Morning! So, this has been in the works for a bit, and I'm excited to announce it's ready. Just a little something to say thank you to all you lovely readers, contributors and newcomers. It's been, what, two years that I've been doing this now? Time flies!  I've wanted to do one of these for so long, and finally - here we are! So the prize for my first (of hopefully many!) giveaway is this upcycled earring rack:

What do you think? I had an adorable cane back chair, but it had one too many wobbles.  So I tore it apart, salvaged the pieces, and threw my thinking cap on. That was it, earring rack! What a perfect way to organize all your jewelry, right where you can see them.  Hand painted in Cozumel, Gold edges, distressed & lightly stained.  Sealed with a high gloss poly.  And, for those of you who don't wear earrings, this would make a great gift too! Entry is extrememlly easy, thanks to the awesome host Rafflecopter:

So, big big thanks everyone for being such long time readers, and a big welcome to all our newbies!  I'll notify the winner next week, and get this shipped out right away. Anyone can enter, so why not share with your friends & family? Good luck everyone!

Pinterest Picks: Back to School

For many families across the country, the school bells have gone a ringing.. the kids are back to school! It's a bittersweet time, sad that summer is ending - while a little glad the kids are back in class most of the day! Terrible I know.. with school starting up though it's the perfect time to completely reorganize and revamp the paperwork side of our homes.  Even if you aren't in school, having a desk or a set area to organize bills, files, mail and the like will keep things from taking over the rest of your house.  Admit it, we've all had that huge pile of papers at the unused end of a dining table.... I cannot be the only one. So, for today's Pinterest Picks we're going to scour ye olde pinterest for some new & clever ways to stash a desk in your house, where it won't take over your life.  As usual, remember that the following pictures are click-able to pin-able. First up, this petite floating desk:

We're Under Attack!

Attack of the spammers - wow! In the past few days I have had at least 50 comments published throughout the blog, that luckily google has recognized as spam - BUT not before notice of that post was sent to all of us!

If you've been receiving a million comment notifications, I'm sorry!  I got them too (a full inbox!?).  Rest assured though, I will be activating comment moderation.   It's bittersweet though, I know so many people (including me!) don't want to have to do the "captcha" or word verification, but with these crazy spammy robots out and about, we have no choice. 

So don't worry, the problem should be solved! Thanks for hanging in there, and thanks for letting me know it was happening!
