A Cultivated Nest

Preserving the Harvest

or good deals from the farmers market/grocery store! I grew these tomatoes. They're going bonkers in my garden and we can't eat them all now! My zucchini...not so much! I must be the only person in the world who had a problem with zucchini this year. I got two...yep...two little ones. I planted some more but they don't have anything to harvest yet.

Sweet & Cheerful!

Isn't this the sweetest little tablecloth! I couldn't pass it up when I saw it at the thriftstore (I went back to see if they still had the other two white slipcovers). Can you believe I found one...just one! Where is the other one? It could be anywhere in that store! So now I have three. Sigh....Finding this cute homemade tablecloth eased my pain somewhat! Don't you love the sweet lace ... Read More about Sweet & Cheerful!

I found this plate rack at TJ Maxx and knew it would be perfect in ... Read More about Displaying Plates

Romantic Blue Toile Guest Bedroom

Hi everyone! I was able to work on my guest bedroom slash office slash husband's dressing room yesterday (I'm sure all of you in older smaller houses have rooms that have to function for more than one thing)! I'm sure by now everyone knows that I love toile! So I chose a blue toile for this room. But it can't be too "precious" as my husband uses the closet in this room for his clothes and ...

Today’s Thrifty Treasures & Make Your Monday

Once again it's Rhoda's (Southern Hospitality) yardsale/thriftstore linky party! I've actually become a bit more discerning in my thriftstore shopping! Before, if I knew where I would use it I would buy it! But I've recently been going through some of my "stuff" and realized I really have a lot of "stuff". So we rented a small U-Haul last week and I donated a bunch of "stuff" to Goodwill - a lot ... Read More about Today’s Thrifty Treasures & Make Your Monday
