Bathrooms and Buckets. A Quick Before and After.

Well, sorta. Not a whole bathroom before and after, but definitely a bucket makeover- and done for free!

1 old vintage tin bucket

A homemade stencil

Trace it out with a pencil

Craft paint and brushes

Fill it in with a steady hand

Viola- a spiffy new bathroom stuff holder (that's such a catchy name, I think I'll trademark it)!


(this would also make an adorable planter pot out on the front steps!)

She Sells Seashells!

After a long hiatus from eBay and an even longer hiatus from selling seashells, I've decided to return to my roots. eBay is where I began in the online world nearly 7 years ago and I decided that with all the seashells I have, I should get back into selling them there.

I am not gunning for "powerseller" or competing with any other shell sellers, just selling off the thousands of shells I own. I'll be listing new auctions every week (a few days a week as time permits) starting at $.99

If you've ever wanted to add a little beachy chic to your home at a reasonable price, I welcome you to come check out my listings!

Here's a peek at what I listed tonight









I DO NOT use stock photos for my auctions, I have taken every photo myself, so what you see is what you get! (The craft shells are a "stock" photo but it is taken by me, of my current inventory; not something swiped from another online vendor- that drives me nuts!)

Happy Bidding!
