NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 🎙
This one is packed with friendship, laughter, rusty treasures… and a whole lot of creative magic.
I’m joined by three of my favorite junkin’ soul sisters—@TheReclaimedRanch, @BackYardBrushes, and @DirtRoadRelics—as we take you behind the scenes of our 127 Sale adventure! From spotting the same vintage finds at the same time 🤭 to sharing creative inspiration on the road, this episode is all about what happens when thrifters unite.
But the real heart of the week?
Attending the Jazzing Up the Junk retreat, hosted by the amazing Angela @dogwoodexchangellc752 💛
Angela welcomed 12 creative women into her space in Crossville, TN for three unforgettable days of making, laughing, and—of course—junkin’. Her retreat reminded us all what self-care for the creative soul can truly look like. We are so grateful for her hospitality, her heart, and the community she’s built.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE IS LIVE!
If you’ve got a stash of old picture frames—or you’ve walked past a pile at the thrift store wondering what to do with them—this episode is for you!
I’m sharing 8 creative and functional ways to upcycle old frames into beautiful decor pieces that go way beyond just holding photos. From trays and chalkboards to jewelry displays and seasonal styling ideas, you’ll walk away totally inspired to raid your stash and start creating.
Plus, I’m telling the story of how I used a vintage frame to style my husband’s deer head (yep… I really did! 😂).
BONUS: I’m also teasing something exciting—a FREE 3-day upcycling workshop happening at the end of August! If you love giving new life to thrifted finds, you won’t want to miss it.
👇 Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever flipped an old frame—or if you’re ready to start!

It’s finally here… the Second Annual Thrift Flippin’ Frenzy kicks off TODAY at 6:30 PM CST! 🚐
Inside my Business Membership Group, we’ve gathered an amazing lineup of creatives for a two-day summer road trip filled with thrifted goodness, clever flips, and creative inspiration.
Each of us shipped a surprise package of stash goodies to a fellow maker… and now the challenge is ON to flip what we received into something fabulous!
The fun starts tonight (Wednesday) and continues into Thursday — with back-to-back video premieres from this incredible community of upcyclers and DIYers.
Check out the “Rest Stop” schedule to see when each video goes live — and follow the playlist so you don’t miss a single flip!
Grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let the creativity roll! ❤️❤️❤️

Hey there, friend — it’s time for a little reintroduction!
I’m Sonnet — wife, mama, master gardener, thrifting queen, vintage lover, DIY enthusiast, and the creative soul behind Sonnet’s Garden Blooms.
When I’m not digging in the dirt, you’ll usually find me treasure hunting at the thrift store, elbow-deep in decoupage medium & paint, or dreaming up new projects for my Makers Box and Creative Community. I believe there’s value in rescuing the forgotten and reimagining the old — and I’ve built a business rooted in that exact belief.
My heart is in my home, in the garden, in the creative messes, and in the amazing women I get to connect with every day who also believe in the beauty of handmade, vintage, and upcycled living.
So whether you’re new here or you’ve been hanging out for a while — I’m so grateful you’re here. Let’s make something beautiful together. 💛
Tell me where you’re tuning in from and what you love creating most — I’d love to say hi!

Ever stared at a blank wall and felt totally uninspired?
This past Thursday on the Rescued & Upcycled podcast, I’m sharing why gallery walls are so much more than a design trend. They’re personal, powerful, and packed with potential.
From thrifted frames to vintage prints and family treasures, a gallery wall lets your home tell your story. 🎨✨
I’m diving into:
✔️ How to build a meaningful collection
✔️ Thrifting tips for one-of-a-kind pieces
✔️ Styling tricks that bring it all together

Be honest… have you ever hit a wall creatively and thought:
“I guess that’s as good as it gets.”
In this week’s Rescued & Upcycled episode, I’m sharing how Royce from @Roycycled helped me BREAK THROUGH that wall at her Creative Besties Retreat—and how that experience changed the way I create forever.
Royce didn’t let me stop at “good enough.” She pushed me to keep going… and the results blew me away. 💥
