Last Saturday we had some company for dinner. My brother, sister-in-law and her Mum, who was visiting from the UK. I cleaned off the dining room table in honor of them.......and I've kept it clean because for the next two weekends we will be having company. All I need is a reason and I can be just as dedicated as all the Suzy Homemakers … [Read more...]
Home Tour (Gisele and Tom)
September 4, 2013 By 13 Comments
Notice how I used Gisele and Tom in the title? Like they are friends of mine or something? I guess when you're VERY rich and VERY famous, you sort of have that problem.... Crowds gather and people yell, "Gisele! Gisele" and "Tom!! Tom!!" I'm sure you rarely hear "Mr. Brady!! Mrs. Brady....or Mr. Bundchen!! " Do you think they become … [Read more...]

Mid-Summer Gardening
July 17, 2013 By 16 Comments
I don't know about you but after that flush of gardening enthusiasm in Spring....by mid summer.....I could care less...... It's HOT and then HOTTER. I take my 5 mile walk (just threw that in so you'd realize I'm not a total loss) at 6am and even then, I come back all "dewy" , if you know what I mean. Often, I will stop and yank some weeds … [Read more...]

I've found a few wicker bicycle baskets at the thrift store. I knew they would lend themselves very well to being re-purposed as a vintage looking wall or door basket. Here is one I made a couple months ago. It's been hanging around waiting for some dried hydrangeas and it's finally the right time for those! It's been very rainy here and the … [Read more...]
