It's official, these dreamy little desserts need their own email address.  Seriously! I found these sweet wonders on Cake Central around 1am this morning while dreaming up cupcake flavors and searching for photos to capture their yummy goodness for my pinterest board. Within minutes…it had 50 repins. The next moment I looked, 241…and by the time I closed my computer to hit the hay for the "

C'mon…what did you think I meant? When I was little, my mom bought a bedside table and a lingerie chest at an unfinished furniture store...with every intention of making them pretty. That didn't happened. One day, in the late 1990's, while I was home from fashion school in L.A. to help my daddy…who had cancer, I decided it was time for a make-over.   I hauled the chest from wherever it'd been

A couple of weeks ago, I said, "Lord, could I please learn how to take some great bokeh shots?"  I was blessed with a new camera for my birthday last spring, but for many reasons, have yet to take the time to really get to know it.  And then, within days of the aforementioned request, whilst sitting behind the counter in my shop, looking at my little world through the camera's lens… I saw this

If you read this before & after post, then you know that lately, I've been painting pretty much everything I can reach…in storage. When I first found this bathing beauty, it was definitely in need of a make-over. Don't you think? And rest…it needed a couple of years of rest. It was covered in gross peeling powdery flesh-colored paint…things that make you say, "Ewww!" So, a couple of weeks ago,

Fall is generally my busiest time of year.  Living in the mountains, I'm not just working to get The Little Red Shop (Yes, my actual itty bitty brick & mortar boutique) ready for the holidays, I'm aiming to get things done around the property before winter officially hits. We are talking several FEET of winter! So, for the last few months, I've been on a major cleaning and organizing craze.

Retreat In 2010, The Farm Chicks Show was the last major stop on a multi-week road trip which started with my mama and me leaving Washington to head 1/2 way across the country to pick up my dear auntie in Minnesota.  We then swung down to Nebraska for my mom's 50th high school reunion, ran back up to Minnesota to spend a li'l more time with auntie's family and then zoomed on back to Spokane,

What percentage of your time, would you say... My big brothers, Jeffy & Bryan ~ circa 1971 ...did you dedicate to building forts when you were little? Most likely, the left sidewall of the fort is my future dress-up trunk.  Oh, and I do believe those are saltwater sandals cast-off at Bryan's feet.  Who doesn't love the sight of a li'l kiddo in saltwater sandals? ...............................

Have you seen the Pixar movie "Up?" Just the other day, after watching it for the first time, I went on a little treasure hunt through my Midwestern road trip pictures to see if I could find any wonderful old homes that brought to mind "Mr. Fredericksen's" little Victorian beauty.  I didn't really find any...but this one sort of had the right color scheme. And I thought these ladies were pretty

I was so happy when I heard that Seabold Vintage Market was taking part in Ruffles & Rust. Growing up, fashion & interior design held a place near and dear to my heart.   That hasn't changed.     Some of my earliest and happiest memories include regularly rearranging my room (I take after my daddy in that department) and making sure that the pretty things on my dresser were arranged "just so
