DON’T TRUST 3M COMMAND HOOKS!!!
DON’T TRUST 3M COMMAND HOOKS!!!
DON’T TRUST 3M COMMAND HOOKS!!!
There’s nothing fun about waking up to the sound of crashing pottery!!!
I used 3M Command Hooks to hold up some clay wall pieces for my Holiday Home Show last weekend! I followed the directions, stuck them to my wall, let them cure overnight, and hung pieces that were less than a quarter of the rated weight recommendation. They held okay for about four days… and then CRASH!!! Three of them have come crashing down… one of them taking out a ceramic mask along the way! One of them pulled completely off the wall, where the third one the hook separated from the adhesive. They are definitely NOT doing what they’re supposed to do… hundreds of dollars smashed!!!
Be forewarned… and don’t hang anything breakable on 3M Command Hooks!!!

After dinner, I helped my Dad put up his Christmas tree…and ran across some of the crafty ornaments I made when I was a bit younger. The vintage family ornament collection!!! Yes… I did a LOT of macrame back in the day!!!
And yes, nothing says Christmas like six different kinds of pasta, glue, white paint and a thumbtack!!!

Celebrated Thanksgiving with my Dad today… my very first Thanksgiving at a restaurant!
It wasn’t what I’m used to, but we had a great meal & good conversation…
maybe the start of a new tradition? But sadly, no leftovers!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Hope you’ve spent your day with family, friends or friends-who-are-your-family!
And remember… pumpkin pie is NOT just for today!!!

After a long weekend of HOLIDAY HOME SHOW set-up, hosting, chatting, schmoozing & selling… it felt SO good to be back on the bike this morning for another AMAZING morning sunrise. Always the best way to start my day!!!

The holidays just got one step RUSTIER for me as well. And I love it!!! Special thanks to two of my customers who make the big trek in for the HOLIDAY HOME SHOW every year from the far, far, FAR west suburbs… and brought me this adorably rustic Christmas tree plaque this year!

One of my wonderful customers brought me a gift African violet yesterday planted in one of my own flower pots! Apparently Rick propagates & grows these violets off of his mother’s original plants after she passed away. While her plants are now well over fifty years old, the violet’s beauty continues to be shared & spread through Rick’s ever-“growing†tribute. A beautiful combo… and a beautiful gesture. Thank you so much Rick & Nancy! I love it!!!
