We, Americans, are in different places of reopening all over the 50 states. I live in Oklahoma, we are in the 2nd phase of reopening our state. I believe we are the 3rd freest states in the country behind South Dakota and Wyoming. With this being said, my family and I went on our first [...]
We decided to DIY our Farm Table for our dining area. By DIY I mean we decided to sand, stain and paint a picnic table and bring it inside our house and you tell me if you would have thought it was a picnic table or a farm table at first glance. We absolutely love [...]
I made over 300 sales in masks on Etsy in the month of April. These sales could be a quantity of 1 or a quantity up to 10. I would say I conservatively made to order about 500 masks in less than 30 days. I am going to speak honestly here, I have had a [...]

The other day I sat down and shelled 2 cups of pecans. These pecans are local to me in Southeastern Oklahoma, if you remember I talked about buying these in my recent post about our first Fall in Oklahoma. I bought these pecans off of a woman on Facebook Marketplace. She wanted to meet me [...]
I was in my local Quality Consignment Shop, Treasure Trunk, here in McAlester, Oklahoma this week and I found the most wonderful thing. I found an old crock with it's matching lid. It is written on the bottom to be rare and to have been made by Eagle Pottery which originates in Benton, Arkansas. This [...]

Like I have said before, I have decorated before Thanksgiving for the last five years. And then I said nope. Im not doing it this [...]
