Pssst....want to know a secret? I've been dying to hop aboard the Chalkboard Art bandwagon.

But nevertheless I braved the wilderness to gather magnolia leaves to make this wreath. And I loved it. And I wanted more. So I again braved … [Read more...]
Last week my Black Friday shopping plans were very rudely interrupted by a nasty stomach bug that invaded our home. Instead of searching for a Christmas tree and braving the crowds buying gifts I laid on the couch and did a little virtual window shopping. One of the items I ran across was this stunning magnolia wreath from Pottery Barn. It's … [Read more...]
