Hello, nobody mentioned mallard ducks! That was my dad’s favorite decorating motif and he had them in his office forever.

I recently made a Bowling Pin Cub Scout (I am in charge of pack meetings) cutest thing you have ever seen, I can send you a picture if you want. We use it as the monthly “cubby award.” It is given to the best behaved Scout and they get to take it home until the next pack meeting (1 month). It has made a world of a difference in our scouts behavior. Just thought you’d want to know in case you are ever a scout leader 🙂 Would actually make a great post since so many people out there are involved in scouts. And unlike Target, I totally don’t mind if you copy me 🙂

I love making fun of atrocious things in thrift stores… looks like this trip was awesome! What about that “bee loyal” sign, eh?! And I agree, the bowling pin could have been re-vamped into an awesome trendy paint-dipped or geometric painted piece.

I would totally buy that carousel horse, gold leaf it, and use it as an accent piece in my baby girl’s nursery. But giant and blinged out works for her. She’s a 23 week preemie and kind of a drama queen. 🙂

I hate to admit this but I used to make quilted, puffy boxes which would have gone great with the fabric ruched mirror! And that eyelet ruffle surrounding the mirror? It came right off one of the MANY floral throw pillows I made! So glad styles have changed for the better.

Sorry – that’s light (not like!) – I really despise auto-correct, especially that doesn’t know BARBRA STREISAND!

Memories … like the corners of my mind! My mom was so into macramé back in the mid to late 70’s that we would drive 4 1/2 hours to get special ceramic beads with coordinating flower pots and colors of macramé rope that apparently no store in our area, one of the most populated parts of our state, sold. I was 6 to 9 years old and my main job was using the “fro comb” to pick out the tail on the hanging planters. I’m pretty sure I saw one of these still hanging in my aunt’s house at Christmas … in 2013! My husband and I married in1992 and our entire kitchen/living/dining was Southwest. The only thing I kept was a fairly expensive hand made pueblo vase that we bought on our honeymoon. I am a little sentimental about that. I think I am partial to all the tribal prints and décor because it reminds me a little of that Southwestern stuff. I can already see a few of you hiding your Ikat pillows in the back closet! And, please put away all the chevron while you are at it!
