Me

Nice to meet you. I'm Cori, a self-described "vintage girl". Why? Well...I've had the distinct pleasure to live life to it's fullest for over a half a century now. I have fulfilled many dreams. I am a wife, a mother and a daughter. I have three children--Logan 21, Allison 11, and Jackson (aka Jacketty-Jack) 9.

After enjoying a wonderful career in the public sector I am enjoying my role as a stay at home Mom with many hobbies and interests. I began blogging a little over a year ago and have found this to be a very rewarding pastime. I also rent a small space in a local consignment shop. In my space I have been selling some of my handmade items and also many pieces of thrifty furniture that I have given "makeovers".

My favorite thing about blogging? It has to be this: I learn at LEAST one new thing (many day its several) each day. I am amazed at all the creative women out there and love the "sisterhood" I feel with women all over the world.

At this point in my life I am exploring my creativity and pushing myself to try new things. The possibilities are endless.

I made the transition from City Mouse to Country Mouse two years ago with my family. We live in the country on a beautiful hilltop. We had the once in a lifetime opportunity to build our home and cottage here.

I love all things vintage and love mixing the old with the new in my spaces. Making my home comfortable and welcoming for my family and friends is a priority for me.

This is where I create. This is where I live. I'm happy to have you here to share some of it with me.

  4. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on your me page. I've met very few women with the same name, and even fewer with similar tastes. I've enjoyed your site :)
