This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef ,
This little piggy had none
... and this little piggy cried ~ wee wee wee
.... all the way home.

Shabby Closet

When I got married 4 years ago I moved from my small apartment to my husband's small apartment with a lack of storage space including closets.  This was my remedy for a quick inexpensive closet with a shabby flare.

Two recycled old doors with a piece of pine, two rods and a couple of wrought iron brackets became the home that my clothes would rest for the next four years.


Iron brackets hold the closet stable

I used a retro mail box for a magazine rack

Iron brackets make a cute shelf where there is no room for a night stand

Creative Bag Shopping Trip

Wow!  I had so much fun at Creative Bag today.  I went in to get a small jar for sauces for packing lunches (I seem to do a lot of lunch packing lately) and came out with an incredible stash of goodies.


3 packages of love and thank you charms
1 set Fiskars rubber stamps
1 set clear stamps
1 bottle Glossy Accents (Ranger)
1 key bottle opener
2 mister bottles (Ranger)

! jar (that I went to Creative Bag for)
and the grand daddy of all of my treasures.....
4 Ranger craft mats for 2.99 each.

Grand Total was 23.00 with taxes included - this is less than I paid for my original craft mat.

FYI - I bought all of the craft mats
