Yesterday I shared some pictures from a garden tour that Tom and I took over the weekend. Today I want to show you the pictures from my favorite stop on the tour, a tudor home in the Sunset Hill area of KC. This planted urn on a pedestal and antique fountain are two of the first things […]
Kansas City Garden Tour
June 5, 2016 Filed Under: Home Tours, House & Home, Kansas City, Travel & KC
Tom and I have discovered garden tours. Well, I have discovered them and he’s happy to go along. We went on our first tour a couple of weeks ago, and it was interesting and the gardens were impressive, but not quite our taste. Yesterday, however, we went on the Wornall/Majors Kansas City Garden Tour and had the best […]
Checking In and Catching Up
May 20, 2016 Filed Under: House & Home
Hi friends. Sorry to have neglected this place for so long. Spring comes with so many distractions, doesn’t it? So this post will have no real theme, and a lot of less than ideal iphone pictures, but I wanted to check in and let you know what I’ve been up to. Earlier this month I traveled to Florida […]
A Romantic House and Garden Tour
April 9, 2016 Filed Under: Home Tours, House & Home, Kansas City
Last fall I ran across a garden in Kansas City Spaces magazine that had me poring over the pictures. So many details to take in. That’s a mirror in the above picture, by the way. And note the chandelier hanging from a branch over the table. The gardens are amazing, as you can see, and I […]
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 […]
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 […]

November 9, 2015 Filed Under: Details, House & Home
A year or two ago I bought my first potted Amaryllis bulb and for the holidays and our whole family became enchanted with it. It was almost like you could stand and watch it grow before your eyes. So last weekend I added pick up Amaryllis bulbs to my list of errands. I found some loose […]

I’ve taken care of my camera issues so I’m popping in to share a few touches of spring, which seems to have taken on an accidental yellow theme this year. I hope you’re enjoying Spring where you are. P.S. A spring wreath makeover.
Greenery Around the House

Yesterday I posted this picture of a bunch of evergreen branches on Instagram. I’d like to tell you that I went on a hike and found all these live greens along the way, but the truth is I stumbled across them at Home Depot while looking for an evergreen shrub. They were being sold in bunches, […]
