DIY Vintage Baby Shoe Christmas Ornament

December 2, 2019 By Meegan 1 Comment

If you are anything like me, you like to savor family and childhood memories. I keep small notes from our kids, pictures, and even a few of their baby shoes. To keep these treasures as part of my Christmas decorations, I created a DIY Vintage Baby Shoe Christmas Ornament.

It’s week FIVE for the Deck The Home DIY Challenges and it’s been so much fun to watch all of the amazing ideas for creating a beautiful home at Christmastime.

This week is all about Christmas ornaments.

Yes, I guess I am old enough to call my own kids’ baby shoes vintage. I don’t know how much they will like that, though!

After sifting through at least 300 pictures, I am thrilled to share My Visit to The Old Lucketts Store-Part Two. It is such a fun place to visit when you are in Virginia. It isn’t far from Washington, DC. Well, probably an hour and a half-ish away. And if you LOVE vintage style, like I do, you don’t want to miss out.

If you would like to see Part One, visit here.

I am actually going to make this series into to 4 or 5 parts. Only because I have so much to share.

My Visit To The Old Lucketts Store-Part One

October 9, 2019 By Meegan 1 Comment

I may have mentioned that we have family that lives in Virginia. I have been blessed enough to have visited them several times, now. I love seeing the grand-babies and exploring while I am there. Everything from historical monuments, gardens, cemeteries, plus lots of antique stores and beautiful restaurants.

Shortly after I started my blog, I had heard about The Old Lucketts Store. But I NEVER thought I would have a chance to visit. Let alone go here more than once in one trip to Virginia. BUT, I did the last few weeks and I am excited to share with you My Visit To The Old Lucketts Store-Part One.

Yes, part one, because there is SO much to see. I literally could spend hours upon hours there. And I think you could, too.

DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial

We were out in the desert hiking through the gorgeous red clay mountains just outside of Las Vegas. My cute grand daughter found a rustic stick and gave it to me. My grand kids know me so well. If it’s old, a rock, sea shell, or stick, I want it. I know, that is kinda silly of me. But, it is what I like and I LOVE that each and every one of the kids in my family know that. Once I got said stick home, I knew that I was going to make a DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial for you.
