A Life’s Patina Christmas Blog Series: Part Four ~ The Gift Wrapping

  Brown paper packages tied up in strings…these are a few of my favorite things…   Who does not recognize those famous words sung by Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music?  This Christmas, the art of gift wrapping takes its cue from those sentiments. As you have probably come to know, we love the natural […]

Our Favorite Party Favor and Hostess Gift Ideas

Everyone loves a good party and we love a good party favor! I never like to head to a party empty handed or have my guests go home empty handed so these gift ideas can be used for either occasion. Sure a great bottle of wine is always a “go to” hostess gift but how […]

Summer Finds

Summer Finds

So often in the game of life we say to ourselves, “Should have, could have, would have.” As in life, we do that on a daily basis here in the barn. So many countless projects, stylized designs and events have gone by unrecorded, for there never seems enough time in our daylight hours to think […]

Mother’s Day Florals

May 7, 2016

Mother’s Day Florals

There are many things that we equate with Mother’s Day. Hand made cards from your children, sometimes made from small hands smothered in paint, stick figures and hearts. Breakfast in bed served by your adoring little fans. Once they grow up, that is another story. Brunches and dad’s attempts at taking over all of the […]

Valentine’s Day Treat Love

Another holiday to celebrate and to decorate for…I LOVE it! Holidays and their celebrations have been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl watching my grandmother wrestle with a very large spray painted white tree branch while securing it in a large can full of paster of paris.  Why the […]

Waltzing Matilda Redesign

Waltzing Matilda Redesign

We have finally gotten back into our space at Waltzing Matilda to really put our stamp on it. We began sharing Mike’s expansion space back in October right around the height of our Barn Sale season and while we brought over some of our pieces, we did not have the time to make it something […]

The Humble Ball Jar’s Elevation

The Humble Ball Jar’s Elevation

Along with my vintage china fettish, I have to confess that glassware fits into that category as well…the fettish part. I have a thing for old glass jars and containers and I love to mix them with new. At one of our Summer Theme Thursdays in the barn, I highlighted some of my favorite ways […]

Highschool Graduation Gift Idea

June 6, 2015

Highschool Graduation Gift Idea

It is that time of year again, the season of the High School Graduation. I have always been one who searches for the perfect gift, one with meaning or that is symbolic of the receivers likes or interests. This has unfortunately caused me to be quite tardy as a gift giver, at times. We have […]
