Today winds down our summer! It’s bittersweet. Although I love to watch the kids grow, it’s hard to think they’re growing up! What have I learned this summer? I have learned that there is absolutely nothing better than old-fashioned fun! The school year means schedules, activities, homework, alarm clocks, etc. And I’m determined to keep Read More

Collections: Moveable Corks
My collection of moveable corks began in my 20’s thanks to Daddy! I was intrigued by their mobility, detail, and uniqueness… Daddy has given me every one of these corks! They currently sit in a crystal ice bucket. Handyman Husband has been tinkering with ideas of how to display them! Any thoughts? These corks are Read More
Connecticut: Part 4
We finally ventured onto the interstate and headed down towards Mystic. There were absolutely NO billboards or advertisements along their highways. It made for such a pleasant drive. As we headed towards Mystic and the coast, we detoured over to New Haven to see Yale University. Such a treat with its amazing history and architecture! Read More
Connecticut: Part 3
We adored the quaint towns as we meandered across the state of CT! We happened upon a wonderful family owned garden center that also housed the sweetest “farmer’s market.” And antique shops popped up all over the state… Everything was so lush! The concrete was fun to see! I loved this bunny honoring our “Bunny” Read More
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

A Year Ago Today
A year ago today I boarded a plane for a three generation trip to Connecticut! To say the least, the trip was amazing. It was such a delight spending time with Mother and Elizabeth as well as touring the state. The highlight would have to be the entire reason for going. To visit Bunny Williams 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. I love how they’re hand painted, they’re stately, and just the fact they’re dogs! We adore Missy and Molly, our Miniature Dachshunds, but these King Charles Spaniels are so regal… Handyman Read More
Instagram Friend: Gudy Herder
It is absolutely amazing what connections you make through social media! Although I am not an active Facebook member, I am loving Instagram and Twitter! (Especially Instagram!) It’s intriguing to scroll through various pictures from people that you really don’t know; however, you feel like you know them! After awhile of “liking and commenting” on Read More
Client Project: Master Bath
A master bath, like the master bedroom, should be a tranquil space! A space for relaxation and above all a sanctuary! My clients are both professionals with two very busy schedules. At the start or end of a day, they both need a place to relax and breathe. They live in a wonderful, older home Read More
