Today I want to share a couple of my favorite things. One is finding a treasure in someone else's trash.....yes I dumpster dive. I admit it. People throw things out that can be turned into fabulous treasures and I just can't let that happen! It is a goal of mine to save all worthwhile treasures from the landfill!
Another of my favorite things is actually a "who" not a "thing". Her name is Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman. She has an awesome blog that I follow religiously and I absolutely love her cookbooks! When I heard that she was going to be in Wichita for a book signing I knew I simply had to go! My dear friend Donna and I set out last Thursday for the big event. It was AWESOME! I was so excited to meet her! Other than a slight unintentional detour on the way home we had a super trip! It was a great week! Excellent trash finds and The Pioneer Woman.....perfect!
First my trash treasure. It was a little rough I admit, but it had so much potential! I repaired the drawers, put on a new top(a cabinet door from the Habitat store), added some bead board to the bottom, painted, distressed, and waxed it.
Not too bad :) I think it turned out fabulous! It is at Antiques On The Prairie in Baldwin just waiting for someone to take it home.
And here I am with Ree. She is so sweet. I also forgot to say that she has a cooking show on Food Network on Saturday mornings that I love! Her website is

*gasp!* No Way! I am SO jealous.
