Vintage Queen Anne Buffet: Thrifted vs. Styled #150

May 10, 2025

While out thrifting, sometimes the barn (or garage) out back harbors the best finds. In my case, that couldn't be more true. Shopping with my daughter on a "shop crawl" of local vintage, thrift stores and consignment stores, we came across what's become one of my favorite barn sale finds of all times.

What could make the find even sweeter? All items in the barn were 50% off that day! And I truly hit the jackpot: a vintage Pennsylvania House Queen Anne cherry flip top buffet. For $49!

How to Make a China Plate Wreath

April 26, 2025

The day I learned about plate wreaths was the day I swore I would make one of my own. And make it I did! Today I'm sharing how I made a china plate wreath, along with a step by step tutorial so that you can make one, too.

The beauty of this plate wreath is that it can be transformed with different plates throughout the year, as your decor changes with the seasons. In other words, plate wreaths are both beautiful and versatile at the same time.
