So many things in our lives are disposable these days. Nothing is made to last anymore as we become a society that takes no stock in the long life of what we purchase. We buy for the moment in most cases with no thought of years down the road. Years ago families had the same dresser that their parents started house keeping on. Furniture was passed down for decades from family to family. None of this buying new stuff every...

One of my gym gals lives in my neighborhood. I often drive by her house on my trash troll every Wednesday morning. Just a couple of weeks ago I hit jack pot with her next door neighbor. As I drove around I had found nothing that morning. I get a little down when its a dry morning with no new treasures.

The title of this blog seems simple. Why, because we are all different but really the same. We all have a heart, blood, brain, skin and so on. How we all walk through life is where the difference is. I’m a preparer every step of my day, week and month is planned out and prepared for way ahead of time. It’s how I roll and nothing will do until I have organized every last moment of my plan. It can...

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.
