Wall-to-Wall Yuck

When my husband and I bought our tiny townhouse 3 years ago, we got a flooring allowance from the sellers, because the carpet looked like a dozen people from a dozen keg parties threw up on it.
The allowance was just enough to buy the cheapest wall-to-wall carpet on the market. I argued, stomped my feet, [...]

Organic: Is It Better For My Thyroid?

January 3, 2010
Thumbnail image for Organic: Is It Better For My Thyroid?

I‘m not one who goes gaga over everything “natural”.
In fact, I enjoy pointing out to all-natural obsessed friends that E-coli is a natural substance, but not at all a healthy thing to consume. Ergo, natural isn’t necessarily healthy. And, look around a hospital OR where manufactured plastic tubing and bags of blood save lives. Ergo, [...]

Please, for the love of Pete, stop using …
At the end of the day.
Yeah. No.
Outside of the box.
Bring it or Bring it on.
It is what it is. or It is what it is, DAWG.
Under the bus.
Make it pop.
Going foward.

I resolve to live cliche free in 2010! Happy New Year!

A Money Saving Christmas Idea

Thumbnail image for A Money Saving Christmas Idea

My husband’s extended family has long since gotten too big for our budget.
Buying Christmas gifts for every person in his family about broke everyone. Not to mention that we were really giving each other clutter — nice clutter, beautiful cluttery gifts that I appreciated, but gifts that cluttered just the same.
So, a few years ago, [...]

How to become a PUBLISHED Photographer

Thumbnail image for How to become a PUBLISHED Photographer

Sue of the infamous Vintage Rescue Squad put out a plea for junk photos for a calendar she put together, so I sent her one I thought would fit her great junking style best. My salt shakers are November’s feature.

The photos throughout the calendar are fabulous. Even better are all the listings of the major [...]

Why You Should Shop Antique Malls This Holiday Season

Thumbnail image for Why You Should Shop Antique Malls This Holiday Season

It did my heart good to see a full parking lot at our local antique mall on Black Friday.  I hope that means that sales were brisk and merchants there did well.
It’s probable that customers weren’t buying gifts as much as they were buying holiday entertaining pieces – like old tarnished candlesticks, tiered servers and [...]

Oh, Baby

No sooner did I give away that cute baby girl dress when a couple of my nieces announced their pregnancies.  Go figure, huh?  Of course, who knew whether either would be a girl … but still.
Aunt Inis waited dutifully to hear the sex of both babies.  One niece is STILL not certain, but one did [...]
