Creative minds are rarely tidy

About

I started this blog back in 2010 as a little corner to showcase my photography, design work, and DIY shenanigans. Over time, it’s morphed into a hub for the things I really love: genealogy and juicy 1900s gossip.

Things I Love:

  • Eaton’s everything – especially Christmas catalogs and department store nostalgia
  • Photography with my Fuji (Especially the 🌙)
  • A crisp, cold New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
  • Falling into 1 a.m. genealogy rabbit holes
  • Red Bull-fuelled creative binges
  • Home décor swaps that match my vibe
  • Dreamy nights in the yard under twinkle lights
  • Random 90s pop culture references
  • Reading – all the things!
  • The thrill of a fresh idea and making it look good

So, what’s this blog really about?

It’s a little bit of everything – mostly a mix of stories and local history served with a generous side of sass. But above all, this is an inspiring space to motivate you, whether that means diving into family research, tackling a creative project, or just indulging your curiosity.

This blog is a personal project. All opinions expressed are my own and do not represent those of my employer, affiliates, or any other organization.

I've run off with his car, gone back to my ma and pa, telling tales of parrot heads and parties...
