Current mood: watching Haunted History and noshing on a bag of crunchy Cheetos. That about sums up a good Monday evening, don't you think? We made the mistake of buying a box of assorted chips from Costco and I've been on a Cheeto binge for daaaaaaays (I've even had cheesy dreams, guys). Anyway, my love of ghost stories and cheesy snacks has little to do with this post, so, we move on (let me just go grab a refill on the Cheetos, though.....). I've recently pieced together a moody ... VIEW POST

How To Create a Vintage Inspired Holiday Look…maybe?
I'm excited to share a few of my ideas on how to create a vintage inspired holiday look...maybe? But before we begin, I just want to make sure we both understand something. You can decorate however you damn well please. If an authentic vintage holiday is your vibe, go for it. If you're a sleek, modern person - do that! See a pink tree covered in blue glitter and it makes you happier than Buddy the Elf buying his dad lingerie?? You do that thang and be proud of it! Whenever I share pieces of ... VIEW POST
Weekly Favorites: Vintage Style Glassware
Vintage glassware is fun to collect - so much so that it can become a problem real quick (yes, I'm talking to myself here). Sometimes, I get a little protective over my actual vintage pieces, though, and end up keeping them locked away in a cupboard as opposed to, you know, using them as intended. In the spirit of this, I'm sharing my top picks for vintage style drink ware in this edition of my weekly favorites. If you love the look of vintage style glassware but don't want the worry of the wear ... VIEW POST
DIY Vintage Headboards
I'm excited to share my DIY vintage headboards, my friends! I've been on the hunt for vintage headboards for every bedroom, lately. A while back, I found two wood headboards on Marketplace. I think it was actually a head and foot board - but they were a matching set and so unique - so I jumped on them. I wanted to find two matching pieces that would work for the girls' room. They will be sharing a space, eventually, and I thought these would make the perfect little statement pieces for their ... VIEW POST
Curated Vintage Goods
December I'm so excited to share monthly curated vintage goods updates with items that I've listed on my Etsy storefront. If you know me even a little bit, you know I'm always on the hunt for vintage eye candy. I fell in love with "old" things decades ago -- though I didn't realize it at the time. As a kid, my mom would occasionally browse through small ma & pop home decor shops that would be filled to the brim with primitive and country style treasures. I loved tagging along -- there was ...

✨️✨️ Slipcover refresh from @comfortworks ✨️✨️
🌙 Anyone else use slipcovers to reign in on the domestic chaos that is having 5 kids, 7 cats, 3 dogs, and a Derek?? 🤣 I`ve been supporting Comfort Works for years as their covers are the only I`ve come across thay actually stand up to our goblin lifestyle 🥂 This is the signature velvet in caramel -- pet/claw friendly - and our sensory sensitive kiddos love the texture/feel of the fabric. 🌙

Why I feel closer than ever to Jesus as a practicing Pagan and former Christian.
Spirituality, religion, faith — all incredibly relevant and powerful to the human experience. Mostly, I believe, because humans are fragile and beautifully imaginative. We want to know why, how, and where we came from…the reason for our existence. We are a naturally curious and innovative species and generally uncomfortable with the unknown. So, we create stories. Stories that provide us with the answers we seek and the push to live without that nagging fear of the unknown…tugging at our hearts and souls.
At its best, faith inspires and lifts us to be better — to love and give more. At its worst, it is weaponized to control, dominate, and conquer.
Growing up in the church ultimately showed me that much of what folks consider “good Christianity” is performative. Gathered together in a vaulted sanctuary, light pouring through stained glass windows — we sing praises, arms raised. We listen to the message of another human, trying to make sense of the world. We feel better by doing this…somehow emboldened that we are doing life right — that when we inevitably die, we will achieve spiritual immortality. Meanwhile, children go hungry, the homeless are reviled, the poor suffer, the immigrant is attacked, trans folks are vilified, bombs are dropped, the Earth is destroyed -- all while we sing Glory to God, drop $20 in a plate, and sip coffee in a wooden pew.
And we are pushed to share the good news — desperate for the world to know that Jesus loves you!! He died for you! He was sacrificed so that the world would know the truth.
The truth? The truth is that Jesus was arrested, tortured, and crucified because he was a threat to the establishment — to religious leaders and the government who feared his message would turn the people against them and their lust for power. Jesus opened minds that were shuttered, shattered the status quo, boldly broke religious rules, and challenged religious authorities that were more concerned with control & law than justice and care for the oppressed.
Justice and care for the oppressed. Radical, much?
