  • Each thrifted treasure has an untold story - and you have the ability to write its next chapter 📖

In Part 38 of my series, What’s Lost is Found, I formally introduce you to an incredibly talented artist - who also happens to be one of my good friends - Alexis Luttrell-Brown of @buffalobrushstrokesart 👩🏻‍🎨

Alexis and I met through the @goodwillwny ambassador program and became fast friends. I’m honored to display her vibrant artwork in my home.🎨

Today just so happens to be National Thrift Shop Day! If you’ve never shopped a local thrift store, the frame and art section is a great place start. Several of my photos and favorite art around my home are framed with vintage frames sourced from thrift stores, antique shops, and estate sales.🖼️
  • POV: Your historic front porch becomes the setting for a dreamy bridal shower 👰🏻‍♀️🥹💍

Gosh we had fun! What a pleasure to host my fellow @goodwillwny ambassador friends as we honored our dearest @karla_annn this past Saturday. 

📷More photos from in and outside of my home - transformed into bridal showertini venue - to come! 

🥂Congratulations to newlyweds Karla and @benjaminb1ack - we love you! 

🙏Thanks to @thriftedbyhiba and the ladies for capturing these beautiful video clips while I was playing hostess.
  • In case you’re wondering whether or not hanging photos and mementos of your pet after they’re gone will only serve to make you more sad - I can tell you that it has put a smile on all of our faces. I’ll be sharing more about our memorial wall this week. 

Special thanks to my friend @caitlinkrumm for the beautiful canvas art she designed and surprised me with when Hugo passed away (centered on the wall in a vintage gold frame) - and - to my friend, Melissa, who surprised me with the beautiful heart-shaped tribute stone I placed in our zinnia garden.

  • Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Bites, yum!
🍽️Here’s a crowd-pleasing dish that’s simple enough to not overwhelm moms with ADHD (like me ☺️). 
🤎I served this first to my mom, then brought it to a work event and my family picnic (where I am in this video) and I got ton of requests for the recipe. 
I’m even making it ahead tonight to bring it to a graduation party tomorrow. It’s really that good!

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Stonefire naan dippers
2. Fig spread
3. Goat cheese crumbles
4. Prosciutto 
5. Honey and/or balsamic glaze (optional but good)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 
2. Layer fig spread onto naan dippers
3. Sprinkle crumbly goat cheese over top
4. Top with little pieces of prosciutto 
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and prosciutto reaches desired crispness.
6. Drizzle with honey and/or balsamic glaze for added flavor 

That’s it - enjoy! Save for later and let me know if you make it!

  • Sound familiar? 😂🫠 
I was helping my son organize and clean his room today and told him to make his bed. I was sitting at the foot of the bed folding his clothes when he pulled up the comforter and I saw “I love mom” written in (he says) washable marker. I wanted to be mad but at the same time - how can I be mad? I asked him why he wrote it and he simply said, “Because I love you.”
  • Throwback to Episode 32 of What’s Lost is Found 🗝️
Merry Thriftmas (in July)🎄

Which vintage find was your favorite?
1. Cast iron match holder 
2. Milk for Santa mug
3. Light-up mercury glass tree
4. Wood & brass doorknob bottle brush tree
5. Pearlescent nativity scene

In case you’re wondering whether or not hanging photos and mementos of your pet after they’re gone will only serve to make you more sad - I can tell you that it has put a smile on all of our faces. I’ll be sharing more about our memorial wall this week. 

Special thanks to my friend @caitlinkrumm for the beautiful canvas art she designed and surprised me with when Hugo passed away (centered on the wall in a vintage gold frame) - and - to my friend, Melissa, who surprised me with the beautiful heart-shaped tribute stone I placed in our zinnia garden. 

If you live locally, the folks at @petheavenfuneralhome will handle the passing of your pet with great care and grace. We highly recommend them.

Each thrifted treasure has an untold story - and you have the ability to write its next chapter 📖

In Part 38 of my series, What’s Lost is Found, I formally introduce you to an incredibly talented artist - who also happens to be one of my good friends - Alexis Luttrell-Brown of @buffalobrushstrokesart 👩🏻‍🎨

Alexis and I met through the @goodwillwny ambassador program and became fast friends. I’m honored to display her vibrant artwork in my home.🎨

Today just so happens to be National Thrift Shop Day! If you’ve never shopped a local thrift store, the frame and art section is a great place start. Several of my photos and favorite art around my home are framed with vintage frames sourced from thrift stores, antique shops, and estate sales.🖼️

In case you’re wondering whether or not hanging photos and mementos of your pet after they’re gone will only serve to make you more sad - I can tell you that it has put a smile on all of our faces. I’ll be sharing more about our memorial wall this week. 

Special thanks to my friend @caitlinkrumm for the beautiful canvas art she designed and surprised me with when Hugo passed away (centered on the wall in a vintage gold frame) - and - to my friend, Melissa, who surprised me with the beautiful heart-shaped tribute stone I placed in our zinnia garden. 

If you live locally, the folks at @petheavenfuneralhome will handle the passing of your pet with great care and grace. We highly recommend them.

Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Bites, yum! 🍽️Here’s a crowd-pleasing dish that’s simple enough to not overwhelm moms with ADHD (like me ☺️). 🤎I served this first to my mom, then brought it to a work event and my family picnic (where I am in this video) and I got ton of requests for the recipe. I’m even making it ahead tonight to bring it to a graduation party tomorrow. It’s really that good! Here’s the recipe: Ingredients: 1. Stonefire naan dippers 2. Fig spread 3. Goat cheese crumbles 4. Prosciutto 5. Honey and/or balsamic glaze (optional but good) Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 2. Layer fig spread onto naan dippers 3. Sprinkle crumbly goat cheese over top 4. Top with little pieces of prosciutto 5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and prosciutto reaches desired crispness. 6. Drizzle with honey and/or balsamic glaze for added flavor That’s it - enjoy! Save for later and let me know if you make it!

Sound familiar? 😂🫠 
I was helping my son organize and clean his room today and told him to make his bed. I was sitting at the foot of the bed folding his clothes when he pulled up the comforter and I saw “I love mom” written in (he says) washable marker. I wanted to be mad but at the same time - how can I be mad? I asked him why he wrote it and he simply said, “Because I love you.”
