The Apple Street Cottage

  I'm so excited to write this post.  Why, you ask?   Because I've been asked to collaborate with Photowall for the second time.  In June of 2020 I shared the result of our first collaboration, a beautiful canvas called The Artist's Wife at Skagen  and I remember thinking 'I hope they ask me to do this again' since I absolutely LOVE that canvas.  Fast-forward one year and I'm back with another beautiful canvas to share with you!   Recently Emily, from Photowall contacted me asking if I would be interested in collaborating again.  Of course, I said yes and was able to choose wallpaper, a canvas, or a poster.  Since I loved the first one so much, I chose another canvas. With thousands of options, there is something for everyone.  I wanted one that looked like a painting and narrowed my search to 'Flower Arrangements' and immediately fell in love with 'Country Florals Neutral'. I placed my order on a Friday evening and my canvas was at my door on

Yes, my friends I have another silverware box to share with you.  This one is a bit smaller than the others (10" x 10") which means a new repurpose.  Due to it's smaller size, I thought it would make the perfect jewelry box!  What do you think? Clearly, it didn't start out this pretty so let's talk about how it began.  It was a small box containing some random stainless fl

  As many of you already know, my DIYing has been quite limited lately.  Between Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right wrist and arthritis & possible herniated discs in my neck I've been relying on previously completed projects for sharing on the blog.    Rosie decided she was ready to step in and help!  I caught her rummaging through my closet where she found a chambray shirt and decided it now belonged to her. She also found my work apron and was well on her way to creating a new outfit.  On the way out the door, she stopped to look at my jewelry and scarves but I informed her that those items could be a safety issue while DIYing.  She had a few 'choice words' for me, but I wasn't giving in.  As you can see, after our little talk about safety, Rosie immediately grabbed a pair of safety goggles and a dust mask. Should I tell her she doesn't have a head, therefore, no worries about eyes and a respiratory system? Never mind, what am I thinking?  This is Rosie, The D

My carpal tunnel surgery went well.  I have some bruising, but I get better every day.  I also had an appointment for my neck and am happy to say while there are some issues, I can do exercises, make some adjustments, and live my life. His exact words were, "Go live your life."   Whew!   I don't mind telling you I was a little concerned since it's my neck.  Thank you all
