Welcome!



My husband and I don't earn much money (at the moment), but we like nice things. Whoever said that because you're poor you have to look or act poor? Certainly not me! 



Instead, I find bargains, I clip coupons, and I hand-make most of what keeps me looking classy. If nothing else, I look like I'm more well-off than I actually am.


That's where the title of this blog comes from. I love food--especially gourmet food. It's made with top-quality ingredients and looks (and tastes) incredible, or at least it appears to be that way. I find my life to be much the same way. I use good "ingredients" and make things that look amazing. I've got a gourmet life!


 Here I share my crafty projects. Occasionally I'll include tutorials. Sometimes I'll sell what I make. The things I post about include food, home decor, clothing, accessories, jewelry, paper crafts, photography, and sewing projects of all kinds.


While here, I hope you feel inspired, well instructed, and that over all you just enjoy your visit. Thanks for stopping by!
