A friend of mine was helping clean out her husband's granmother's house who had recently passed away and came accross these adorable canisters. She thoughfully snatched them because she knew they would go perfect in my retro kitchen. I absolutely love them!! Thanks again, Teresa!

These are my three favorite magazines! I love Coastal Living because it reminds me of where I grew up in South Florida. We never lived more than 5 minutes away from the Ocean especially since my father was in the Coast Guard! I love the style and colors of coastal design and it always bring pleasant memories of my childhood.

Country Living magazine is also a big fav of mine. I love the old vintage appeal and shabby chic looks. Now that I live in Alabama, it helps me connect to the southern way of life :-)

When it comes to buying home accents and clothing, the first place I look in Anthropologie! Sometimes I just walk around the store and embrace myself in the imaginative decor and it always gets my creative wheels turning!

Love the 50's

Everytime I walk in my kitchen, I'm inspired by the turquoise colors of my stove and refridgerator. Unfortunately, last time we moved, my husband tried to move the stove by himself and accidently dropped it on it's side....one day we will get it repaired, but for now it just adds to the vintage look ;-)

This is a paper ball that I made from a Heather Bailey project. It is made of scrapbooking paper and can be used for centerpieces, decorating, or even place it in a flower pot with a dowel rod and it will look like a flower. To get the instructions on how to make one, visit

My first blog

I have a passion for crafting, bright colors, and anything that reminds me of the beach. I thought it would be fun to post my thoughts and favorite pictures that inspire me. Enjoy!
