WELCOME

Welcome to Wisconsin Magpie. I’m Lisa, the creator of this site.

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 attempting to use power tools I have no idea how to operate and undertaking craft projects well beyond my skill level. Sometimes they actually turn out.

My “new” scale. A $15 thrift store find. Way more expensive than the other two I bought previously, but still a good deal, right?

Anybody else have a love/hate relationship with succulents? They look so nice when I buy them, but after a few months, they either wither and die or grow gangly and ugly. What’s the secret to keeping them healthy and compact??

Been a while since I shared my downstairs bathroom remodel. 100 percent of the work done by me and my husband. We hung beadboard/shiplap, painted, tiled, and did a little electrical and plumbing work. #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #farmhousestyledecor #farmhousebathroom #farmhousebathroomdecor #farmhousemakeover #bathroomremodel #bathroommakeover #bathroomrenovation #barnlight #shiplap #shiplapwalls #cottagestyle #cottagestyledecor #subwaytile #whitebathroom #diyhomedecor #diybathroomremodel

Dug through my junk drawer in search of a scissors

Dug through my junk drawer in search of a scissors recently and discovered I am the proud owner of three vintage red-handled scissors. Strictly speaking, that’s probably two more than I need, but I’m not inclined to part with any of them.

Happy Friday, from the bottom of my rusty punched

Happy Friday, from the bottom of my rusty punched copper heart. I’m guessing this piece dates to the 1980s, when punched tin was part of ‘country’ decor. I found it at a thrift store a few years ago. Copper is definitely having a moment again, so maybe my little heart is back in style? Whether it is or not, it makes me smile every time I see it. #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #valentinesday2020 #heartdecor #valentinesdecor #vintagevalentines #cottagestyle #cottagedecor #rusticdecor #chippy #chippygoodness #vintagevignette #itsprobablythrifted #thriftstoredecor #thriftedhome #fleamarketfinds #fleamarketdecor #fleamarketdecor #vintagecopper #tujlovesjunkin

This little heart started out life as a shiny gold

This little heart started out life as a shiny gold Christmas tree ornament, bought on clearance at Walmart a couple years ago. I didn’t love the shiny gold finish, so I gave it a coat of white chalk paint and did a little distressing. Now it’s Valentines Day decor. Anybody else repurpose Christmas ornaments for other holidays? #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #farmhousedecorating #valentinesday2020 #chalkpaint #chippypaint #chippywhite #chippygoodness #cottagedecor #cottagestyle #crafting #valentinesdaycrafts #thriftydecor #rustoleumchalkpaint #hearts #crafter

I have a weakness for old aluminum cookie cutters

I have a weakness for old aluminum cookie cutters with crimped edges. This one was missing its handle when I found it at a thrift store. No matter. It looks sweet sitting in a tray holding a newspaper flower. #valentinesday2019 #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #thrifteddecor #cottagestyle #cottagestyledecor #itsprobablythrifted #newspapercrafts #vintagedecor #vintagecookiecutters #crafter #vintagevalentine #valentinedecorations #valentinedecor
