Connecticut: Part 2
Antique shopping was a true treat in Connecticut! We honestly thought prices would be extremely high; however, we found this to be quite the opposite. We were pleasantly surprised with the affordability and definitely took advantage. Our first full day was meandering our way to Falls Village, and this day was truly delightful as Mother Read More
Collections: Staffordshire Dogs
English Staffordshire dogs have been around forever. I have adored Mother’s collection for some time. She has several pairs of dogs. There’s something about them.

The Bar Is Open!
A few weeks ago, I posted “I Am on the Hunt For,” and I was searching for a bar to put in the living room. Well, I found the “pieces” to this puzzle, and I’m thrilled with the results… If you had told me I would have chosen animal print for the living room, I Read More
