Two summer’s ago Greg, John, Tim and Dallas built my new studio. Well it was a new build but the materials were all from recycled items I had found, given to me or bought at sales and auctions. All the walls are made up of old doors that were pulled off my school during a remodeling project over 4 years ago. It turned out amazing and I love it. I’m so happy when I’m in there working. After having it...

The blog that was for today was interrupted to bring you news from my trash trolling last night. I hit the jack pot and I wanted to share it with you. Tomorrow is a great blog that you do not wanna miss. I spend many hours trolling for trash in my neighborhood as well as many others. Sometimes the picks are good and sometimes it’s a dry run. I pick up everything from scrap lumber to furniture. I’ve even gotten...

Over my life time I have found many treasures. This past weekend was another time in my life I found a treasure. When I started teaching at Wylie Prep I had no idea of the treasures I would find in these kids. Every year is like a new gift. Every year I watch my past students grow and new students open their hearts to the art experience. There is no way I could put into words how much my life...

I have been working way before the sun came up today. I know my blog is late coming out but if you saw all the amazing pieces that are sitting in my dinning room you would understand. Crazy to think that the March Sidewalk sale at Doc Holliday’s is here already. I started preparing for this the day after February sidewalk sale. I will have 2 truck loads of items to show this Saturday 10-6 right in front of the...

Do you remember that phrase? “Just Sit On It” My parents hated the TV show Happy Days because of all the phrases that were tossed around. If only my dad could hear what is said on TV these days he would have a stroke. I thought it was hard raising my kids with what all was allowed on TV and movies 29 years ago. It is crazy what parents have to try to work around these days raising kids. Not...

Meet LaTonya

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
