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.
