All About Me

I now live in what I refer to lovingly as "the little blue house" in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

I'm recently divorced, and the two Yorkies and I, Abigail and Charlie Ross, relocated here in late October 2011. I have been working hard to fix this 1010 square foot house up and make it a home. I feel that I am accomplishing those goals as each day passes. 

I have had to leave my beloved gardens. But come spring, I hope to create new ones on this blank slate that is the yard here at the little blue house. Starting over is part of life, and something we should embrace instead of fear. If I've learned nothing else this past year, I've certainly learned that!

I love to refurbish, repurpose, and help make our environment a more pleasant and safe place in which to live. Decorating, crafting and gardening are my passions. 

I am most content with a camera in tow, catching shots of nature that are flickering and ever-changing, but captured forever with just a click and a bit of luck. 

I shop for the little blue house in junk stores, antique malls, and estate sales. And wherever I can find a sale of vintage or second-hand goods. I must decorate on a budget, and I enjoy passing these frugal ideas on to others.

I'm hoping to open an Etsy shop after the first of the year. It will consist of items I would decorate with here in the little blue house, both handmade and vintage treasures.

I have found serenity here, around my daughters and two grandchildren. I love getting up every day and seeing if I can make the most out of whatever I am handed. Be it lemons or lemonade. 

After coffee, of course!
