My name is Debra Norton and I'm the voice behind this little blog where I share the things I love.

I'm a lifelong maker. I'm known for mixing vintage, modern and handmade. A collector, I can often be found scouring antique markets and thrift shops for vintage treasures.

I'm a freelance writer and have been a regular contributor to the Life Section of Toronto Star where I have written about decorating, trends, entertaining and the handmade scene in Canada. I also wrote a weekly diy column for The Toronto Star called "Try It, Buy It" where I shared a weekly DIY. I also work as an interiors stylist for homeowners looking for a fresh update, and as a freelance prop and craft stylist.

My work has appeared both online and in print in places such as The Toronto Star, Canadian Family, Poppytalk, Wedding Bells, Apartment Therapy, Babiekins Magazine, Gatherings Magazine and Holiday with Matthew Mead.
