Tweet!     Well, my husband was almost sure I had gone over the edge this time.. He was already puzzled a few months ago when I wanted to buy and old musty suitcase just to have it sit around the house.  But I smiled sweetly and he fell for my winsome ways, as usual.. But [...]

Tweet!  I am so thankful for the advent of Shabby Chic into the Home Decor Genre.. Because it allows me to make lemonade when DIY projects give me lemons.
