Media Cabinet Halloween Village Display
Halloween is almost here! Which sadly means October is almost over. It always seems to go by so quickly. My kids are definitely feeling the excitement in the air and can’t wait for trick or treating. I know it’s super last minute, but today, I wanted to share the little “halloween village” I set up on our living room media cabinet for my kids.

Fabric Pumpkin Patch
This is my absolute favorite time of year….the weather, the sweaters, the pumpkin spice lattes, the leaves changing…and of course….the decorating! I love me some fall decorating. This season revitalizes my creative spirit and no matter what life throws at me, I can’t help but partake in making lovely things for fall. Today, I wanted to share with you some new creations I have been working on….I’m calling it my “fabric pumpkin patch.” Several years ago, I shared this post where I gave a quick tutorial on how I made some eclectic fabric pumpkins for fall. Be sure to check out that post if you want to give these a…

Autumn in the Christmas Village
Well fancy seeing me show up here today! It’s been quite awhile, hasn’t it? A lot has happened in my personal life in the last year, which very sadly includes the end of my sixteen year marriage. I know that may come as a shock to some of my long time friends and followers here. I won’t sugar coat it….it has been one of the toughest years of my life, but I am slowly picking up the pieces and building a new future for myself. Opening this blog became something I just could not bring myself to do during that time. It was too painful doing things that were “normal”…

Can you believe my little Fletcher just turned two on October 14th? It’s still hard to believe how fast the time goes by. He is a sweet, happy, funny little guy who loves to get into mischief (and believe me…he does!). He especially loves to read with me, which I love too. His current favorite is anything Little Blue Truck related. So, with his birthday being two weeks before Halloween, we decided to throw together a no fuss Little Blue Truck’s Halloween party for him. If…

Antique Dollhouse – The Upstairs
Hey Friends! Life is still on hold here in our part of New York State (outside of Rochester, NY). Schools are closed till at least May 15th and you can only buy one pack of toilet paper at the grocery store 😱. But we will manage. My husband is an essential worker in property management, so I’m definitely trying to keep it together without having a lot of breaks. The older two are *mostly* enjoying being home with me and the two little ones every day. We all have our moments and need some personal space now and then, but overall we are getting along fine. I hope the same…

House Small: Boho Dollhouse Shop
Exciting news: I have opened a new Etsy shop, called House Small, devoted to my love for boho dollhouse decor and eclectic miniatures! Okay, so here is how it all started… Have I mentioned, I have a *slight* obsession with dollhouses and miniatures? Okay, maybe a time or two… It has been a lifelong interest, but the passion was sparked again. a few years ago, when my husband brought home a handmade dollhouse from a garage sale. (Read about our fixer upper dollhouse and see before photos!) It needed a lot of love, which inspired me to give it a complete makeover. This dollhouse is still a work in progress…
