I
have always enjoyed being creative. I used to sew, knit, quilt, tole paint etc.
when our children were younger.
Now, gardening, photography and decorating are my main hobbies that I enjoy sharing on my blog.

I
have been inspired over the years by pouring over decorating magazines and
books. Now Pinterest is a big source of inspiration and of course other
bloggers.
I
think what I am most proud of with my decorating is that it is all done on a
smaller budget. I love finding little treasures at thrift shops, yard sales
etc. and often giving them a makeover.
If
