I’m always looking for fun (and nice looking) ways to store my jewellery that are not only esthetically pleasing, but practical too (if it’s not easy for me to put my necklace away, you can be sure that it is going to end up on the counter). I found these old frames on sale at

Hi everybody! My post today isn’t super wordy, but it is super exciting! It’s HOUSE TOUR TIME! Remember ya’ll… this is the before post. There is a lot of work to be done. I took these images this very morning, so you have a live idea of where I am living! It is clear that
Ok. That’s a little bit of a stretch for “travelling”, but what it really means is that you should travel to Vancouver to come visit. I now live in a house that feels like a place where grown-ups live. We’ve got a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom AND a super huge office.
Yesterday I learned a valuable lesson. When something is too good to be true on craigslist… Tell the seller you have a truck. Let me back up a moment. Remember a few weeks ago when I told you about my new project “The Craigslist Decorator“? Well despite not having even moved into our place yet,
I’ve seen colour palettes all over the internet recently (primarily on Pugly Pixel and all over Pinterest), but I never really understood what inspired someone to put one together. That all changed when I came across this beautiful image! As soon as I saw it, I thought “I have to make a palette”. Perfect for
Remember when I used to talk about pinterest all the time? Then I got side tracked and started talking about all sorts of other things like living the dream, moving to South America, and going to Antarctica. And I love all those big things. They are amazing. But I also still love pinterest. And my
When I arrived in Edmonton I was super keen. I had been scrambling to pack up in Toronto, so I hadn’t had much time to craft or to bake. I already told you about my fun Christmas gift wrap, and all the other crazy things we got up to over the holidays, but I only
I’m back! The move went as well as could have been hoped for and we’ve been buzzing around Edmonton and Lloydminster at about a million miles an hour! Things will be pretty light around the blog for the next couple of weeks, but today I want to talk about this year’s wrapping. I’m obsessed with
Happy Monday friends! This is my third last “Monday” for the indefinite future. Or, I guess every day will be a Monday, depending on my mood! Given my waking up at 5:30 everyday in the last week, including weekends, because I am SO.EXCITED.ABOUT.LIFE I tend towards the no days will feel like Mondays. At least
[Editor’s Note: I just found this draft way, way back in my archives! Woohoo! Free post! Funny timing, given that we are moving and I’m packing up all my jewelry, but hey, what can you do?] Earlier today [AS: originally written in the spring.] my friend posted her new jewelry organizer on facebook. It was
I love the ever changing Etsy homepage. Most days it makes me swoon (not that I check out Etsy every day or anything). It is always a carefully curated collection of complementary items. (I should win an alliteration award.) Side note: I’ve always been fond of the word “alliteration” because it is sort of like
I talked to my mom on the phone last night. She told me I need to blog more. She’s right, but after so many false starts over the last couple of months, it is kind of embarrassing to come back and expect you to like me just as much. Like one of my favourite food
I made a craft last night. Coasters! And I’m super excited about them! The inspiration came from here (I love pinterest), but I took a more personal route and the final result looks like this. Awesome right? A more detailed step-by-step about my first foray into the wonderful world of mod podge is coming in
UPDATE: The Giveaway has closed! I got approximately TWO entries and therefore instead of generating a winner – I’m going to send each winner one print! Several months ago I shared our amazing customized “road trip” print from January Jones Prints. At that time, I also mentioned that I had bought two more prints from
Last week I alluded to the fact that the “best of” series is becoming less of a weekly round up of the best blog posts on the web and more of a random occurrence when I see something (or some things) that I really really like. It’s still going to focus on super blog posts,
