Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Do you celebrate? Parades? Special foods? I’d love to hear. I’ve never paid much attention to St. Patrick’s Day, but when I did my DNA recently I discovered I’m 1/3 Irish! To celebrate I’m sharing a little St. Patrick’s Day love via my love of all things green. I’m looking forward […]

Thanksgiving Tables

Are you thinking about Thanksgiving yet? Since the leaves around here have started changing, and the fall temps seem to have arrived to stay, I’ve got Thanksgiving on my mind. Thanksgiving tables to be exact. For our table this year, I know a couple of things for sure. One, that I’ll be using my vintage […]
What’s Going On at Our House and Some Christmas Favorites
December 1, 2016 Filed Under: Holidays, House & Home, Seasons and Holidays
Happy December! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the start to the holiday season. I’m sharing this photo from our living room last year because, as you may know if we’re connected on Instagram or Facebook, we’re undergoing some renovations at our house. Last month we had the popcorn ceilings removed […]
Fall Favorites

Last Thursday was the first day of fall, so all of us who call that our favorite season can stop sneaking mums and pumpkins into the house and enjoy the fact that fall is officially here. To celebrate, I’m indulging in pictures of some of my favorite things about the season. I love blue and white almost as much as […]
A Summer in Pictures
August 22, 2016 Filed Under: House & Home, Seasons and Holidays
Hello friends! I didn’t intend to take the summer off from blogging, but here it is closing in on the end of August already. I kept waiting until I found the time and motivation to take some good photos and organize some interesting posts, but you know how that goes. So instead I pulled some photos […]
Vintage Jars and Spring Blooms
March 31, 2016 Filed Under: House & Home, Seasons and Holidays, Secondhand Finds
A few years back I picked up some vintage dairy jars at an estate sale. Since that time I have pulled those jars out a number of times to hold flowers or silverware, and I always enjoy them. So when I ran across this small, vintage honey jar at an antique mall recently I happily added it to the […]
Spring Colors and Weekend Links

I’ve been craving color lately, so I added a little to the family room to welcome spring. Blue and white always works, so I added this Delft lidded jar, which was an estate sale find, to the mantel in the family room. And when the forsythia started blooming, I clipped some branches to add next […]
Happy New Year

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year. Our celebration was quiet. Very quiet. As in we stayed home and watched football and neither of us made it to midnight. We did have a New Year’s Eve lunch at a favorite restaurant, where I couldn’t help but sneak a pic of their gorgeous dome. My […]
Christmas at Our House
December 14, 2015 Filed Under: Around the House, House & Home, Seasons and Holidays
I finally got around to taking some pictures of our house at Christmas this year on this, the gloomiest of days. If you were a reader of the blog last year at this time, these pictures will look very familiar as I decorated much the same. But I promise they are all new pictures. One […]
White Holiday Flowers
December 2, 2015 Filed Under: Holidays, House & Home, Seasons and Holidays
Confession: I haven’t done a bit of Christmas decorating yet. I only got all the Fall/Thanksgiving things put away last night. And technically this post is about Thanksgiving flowers, but I’m calling them holiday flowers to make myself feel better. White flowers are my favorite, so when I was buying flowers for our Thanksgiving table I decided […]
