Way back in the early 2000’s, I remember going to Woolworths/rich in Athens, GA. (Athens historians, which was it? It was in the Beechwood Shopping Center…EDIT: It was a Stein-Mart) I was there to spend a gift certificate I had… Continue Reading
Just knowing Becki Carr Lee, today’s guest poster, has made me (Leigh) cooler by association. I met Becki (at left) in 2002 when I interned at an independent music publicity firm in Athens, Georgia where she worked. When she isn’t busy… Continue Reading
Since the beginning of my adventure down the Pinterest rabbit hole, I have seen pins of adorable, painted plastic-animals adorning the lids of glass jars. Once painted, you can use them for storing ALL OF THE THINGS! I have shared my… Continue Reading

[spotify track=”spotify:track:2F4vE7HMmvGqyY0k07AvHq”] Little boxes, on my table. Little boxes made with wrapping paper. Little boxes, never ending. Little boxes, ugh! Insane! If you read this blog with some regularity, by now you know how much I love both crafting and re-using/upcycling things. Although… Continue Reading
The word “hummingbird” takes me immediately to my grandmother’s kitchen in the summertime. I spent a lot of time with my Georgia grandparents growing up. And I love the memory I have of stirring the sugar and water together in a pot over the… Continue Reading
I’m in this weird place right now where things are coming together. Projects that have languished (some for years) are being completed. Lots of things are getting checked off my to-do list, and wheels are in motion on a lot… Continue Reading

This is a dual post. There is a Pinterest Experiment, but there is also a bit of a teaser about things to come. I feel like I have spent a majority of this weekend polishing. There are a lot of things going… Continue Reading
My name is Leigh, and I have an addiction to “bad” t.v. I’m not talking about television that is poorly acted/written or produced. I’m talking about reality shows that document how crazy and amazing humans can be. My favorite examples being: Intervention, Hoarders,… Continue Reading
When I meet with readers of the blog, I like to talk to them about what they like and what kind of articles they would like seeing. Today’s post suggestion came from my cousin Judy and addresses something that isn’t… Continue Reading
If you follow the blog regularly, you might recall a post I did several months ago about a Star Trek-inspired onesie (an infants outfit). The post found its way onto Reddit and was even featured on another craft blog! In the post, I… Continue Reading
Dear Readers, My sweet and clever friend Carina wrote this interesting essay about ditching the traditional shampoo/conditioner method of hair washing on a cool fitness blog she is running. I knew immediately after reading it that it was something I wanted to share… Continue Reading
Life is full of compromises. Unless you are super, well-off one of the compromises you make when you live in a big city is that space is at a premium. I am super jealous of Coralie’s ability to decorate her… Continue Reading
As a little girl I sincerely thought that “centerpiece” was synonymous with “fresh flower arrangement.” I had no clue that a centerpiece could be anything. My paternal grandmother was the only one in my close family that did much entertaining and around lunch of… Continue Reading
I love photos. They take me right back to the moment they capture. They are a back-up for my memory. I have always loved them- I just have. I have collected picture frames since elementary school. In fact, I have… Continue Reading
I am a super-feminist. Women can do anything and everything they set their minds to– and don’t even try to stop them. We can run countries/businesses, create life, and go to space. Ladies have come so far– although a lot of… Continue Reading
Now that I am at the tail end of unpacking, I have discovered that I have a lot of items that were super appropriate in Chicago… but will not serve me well in Southern California… like snow boots, for example.… Continue Reading
It’s kinda like this: I love Halloween and I have a couple Rubbermaids full of decorations to prove it. So, I used this fact to motivate myself to do a little de-cluttering. I mean, why drag more crap out to… Continue Reading
Now that all of my crafting supplies have been unpacked, FINALLY, the crafting can resume! Rejoice! One of the projects I wanted to tackle first was to recover one of our living room lampshades. The lamp/shade was purchased at Target when we… Continue Reading
