 Yikes! I paid $5.50 for this the other night and it's NOT helping!
You'd think and age-old brand like Johnson & Johnson would be able to make an economical solution for poison ivy that actually works and doesn't accumulate in your lungs when you spray it! I would've been better off spreading oatmeal all over my body...

I always try to look on the bright side of things but after 3 sleepless nights and washing everything I own in hot water but still feeling itchy, I'm a little perturbed...
I want my mommy!

UPDATE: Benadryl Spray works like a champ, but doesn't make it go away permanently. Mom would've told me that if she were around....miss her.

Can someone please tell me what the key is to publishing a successful blog? Do I need to be a better photographer, a better decorator, figure out how to do 'giveaways', take a daily picture of my dog wearing a wig,  make a masterpiece out of popsicle sticks and paint, rant about the challenges of motherhood even though I'm not one????? What's the secret?  I have 10 followers and most blogs that I read have at least 500 (some have thousands)! I thought I did a pretty thorough job of chronicling my bathroom renovation and I'm incredibly pleased with how it turned out, yet I have ZERO comments on that post! I've even posted it on other sites and I think they've been deleted!!!! Is it the shiny brass, the white grout on the subway tile, the lack of wallpaper, the commonplace choice of color? WHAT?! Maybe I need to provide a service, like selling a product on an Etsy page?  Anybody need some flower pots made from recycled coffee cans? I'm starting to doubt...

For years I've tried to fix up this bathroom on my own so I could at least have guests over without cringing.  When I really needed a roommate I couldn't do it because I didn't have the funds to complete it. So I've been saving since last August and I FINALLY finished it! Most of what you see I have hoarded for close to 7 years so I really didn't have to buy anything new, I just needed the physical labor to do the hard stuff and an impossible deadline to motivate me. (I almost made the deadline: my college friend came to visit 3 weeks ago but the final sink wasn't completed yet, so we used a temporary one until the final one was delivered). Forgive me for this post being so dis-jointed! I've jumped the gun and posted pics during my process and now there's so many that should sit side-by-side, from my research, inspiration, before and after that I haven't had time to organize them all. So if you have some time to kill, click on the links and catch a...

Round Top ANTIQUE WEEK {Fall 10}: TONY ~ Rust in Peace Tony McCray is a Jack of ALL Trades AND a MASTER of Many Talents. He is an extraordinary landscaper and curb appeal specialist. I've known him for years and have been on the waiting list for his landscaping advice. He's a family man, has a super sweet spirit and is about the nicest guy you'll ever meet. I recently saw some of his work and Scott's Antique Market and after catching up I dashed home to check out all the publicity about his work! Though my pictures don't do his work any real justice... Check it out more of his work from this post from My Notting Hill click here More Scott's finds (which I would've like to take home...) Love this! wouldn't this make a fabulous flower bed? So you can see that I was a bit fixated on shutters and doors this time...I'll explain in my next post, which will be much sooner than 2 weeks, I promise. Here's what I came home with: ...
