A history nerd and profligate collector, I spend way too much of my free time at thrift stores and garage sales, salvaging other people's castoffs. When I'm home, I'm trying to find new uses for old things and undertaking projects well beyond my skill level. Sometimes they actually turn out.

From garage sale find to DIY Halloween sign

If you don't like what the sign says, paint over it.

Happy to cross one project off my list of things to do for my guest room/office makeover.

From thrift store castoffs to junk turkey assemblage

When Aristotle said, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts," I'm pretty sure he had junk turkeys in mind.

Gurley candles. Vintage novelty bottles. Old googly eyes. This post has it all.
