Crafting a Fabric-Covered Menu Board
Every week, I make a menu for the upcoming week's meals. I make my grocery list based on those meals and then post what the choices are for the week. It's a great way to stay on budget and be organized at the same time. I've always used a chalkboard to post the...
Curtain Crush
I love simple curtains and I have to admit, even after all these years, I still have a crush on them. And here's the good part: I made them out of vintage sheets. It's true. I LOVE good cotton sheets (vintage) that have that sturdy, yet soft feel. And whenever I...
Country Party
Whether you're planning a summer party with friends or a casual country wedding, it's the extra little details that can make all the difference. Don't hesitate to pull out your favorite furniture pieces to use as clean-up stations, and to use fine linen napkins for...
How to Make Little Pocket Journals
One of the boys has a habit of writing on his hands, which I really don't like. But I understand that his mind is constantly whirring away, and he wants to doodle and write random things. So, I came up with an idea for tiny pocket journals that he could keep in his...
Creating an Organized Spice Drawer
I talked about my spice drawer not long ago, and how much I love putting all my pantry and baking supplies in pretty containers. Of course, I also want the containers to be practical. I love the little baking powder containers, as they have great lids and a metal lip...
Making a Fabric-Covered Magnetic Knife Rack
Finding a cute way to store your knives can be tricky. This is the perfect solution. I started out with a magnetic knife rack from Ikea and covered it in a cute calico fabric. Now, the rack is just as darling as the knives! 1.) Iron fabric, and lay out wrong side...
IT'S ME, SERENA!
I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.
I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.
I share more about my life story from time to time, here on my blog. You can also find me on Instagram, and Facebook.
