Last weekend, at my favorite flea market in Pittsburgh, I found this little black truck.
It's a 1962 Tonka, or so I was told. I plan on planting flowers in the truck bed, I replied. He didn't understand. Neither did the guy at airport security when he spotted it in my carry on bag.
The things we do for junk...

Just started stitching a Pam Garrison sampler, "Families are Forever", and I sure hope I can improve my primitive stitching skills! At least I'm having fun! And speaking of fun...
I spent a great early Mother's Day with my girl...shopping at Anthropologie, cheap earrings from Claire's, fried chicken tacos at Taqueria, chocolate ganache cupcakes from Star Provisions, and "fabric swatching" as she calls it, at the fabric mart in Atlanta. She bought me the perfect card too, and explained..."you always say how much you love being my mom, well, the feeling's mutual". Yeah...I cried...

It's that time of year again, and the hydrangeas are blooming...just wanted to share them with you!

My son Christopher is graduating from college today, and I'm about to burst with pride. It's hard to believe four years have gone by, but he's learned a lot, and he's had his share of fun too...ROLL TIDE! His girlfriend Katie is graduating today as well, and after four years of the two of them dating, I love her like my own daughter. We will be having a big cookout with both of our families after graduation...siblings, parents, grandparents...a real family celebration. I won't get started on how I feel about this boy of mine. You know. HE knows. In case you don't, you could read it HERE, or here, or Here. Congratulations baby...you did it!

I saw this vintage trunk at the Nashville Flea Market and loved all the vintage wallpaper on the outside. When I opened it, I saw dozens of peeling layers of different wallpapers on the inside! It was a bit rough for my taste (a little too shabby, not enough chic), so I didn't buy it. I snapped these pictures to share with those of you who love vintage wallpaper like I do! Oh, and the trunk was $40.00!
