Super cute! You give me hope that my laundry room will one day be cute :)

I'm not a fan of airing your dirty laundry online...
But, If you are to fully appreciate what I've done in my laundry room, I have to come clean with the before. The untouched, unedited, unstyled (snort) before. Who knew you could cram so much fun in one tiny room? An even bigger mystery is how all that fun was actually contained in tha...
I had no idea that Richmond had this wonderful neighborhood! I've only been in the business district for a conference. Its nice to know that there is a historical district.

Richmond's Fan District
This weekend we visited Richmond to celebrate sweet girl's birthday. She's a senior this year and living in Richmond VA's Fan District. Her home, which she shares with two friends, is conveniently located within walking distance to her classes on campus. Here's a view of her street. Th...
I had no idea it was the anniversary! I love that book (and the Colin Firth version of the movie...swoon!). I always think of it at this time of year because it was when I first read it.

Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy - 200th Anniversary
Jane Austen's best known and most loved novel, Pride and Prejudice, was published 200 years ago today in 1813. It's my personal favorite as well. Afterall, what girl doesn't wish for love and happiness and their own Mr. Darcy. Thankfully, I have found both. With Valentine's Day just aroun...
What a creative idea! I've never seen one with glass & it looks great!

...use them to make a sliding door. What? Never heard that one before? So, what had happened wuz, I painstakingly stripped yellow, then blue, then black paint off my front door and storm door. I stripped, and sanded. Stripped and sanded, then stained and sealed. When the it was time to repla...
Your creations are just beautiful -- both the embroidery & your daughter :)

making time for stitches
I miss sewing, I do. I've got the itch to make some patchwork but for now it's all about this... and this... and of course, my three other hooligans. Whole days have gone by where I haven't made a single stitch because I have a hard time starting when I know I've only got a few ...
Yay! I'm so glad that Casey is home safe & sound. You must be one happy & proud Mama!

Happy New Year
Christmas has come and gone without a visit to this little neglected place. I think about it often, blogging that is. There was a time when my camera was never far from reach, when blog posts were constantly being composed in my head. Time marches on and life brings changes. I don't want to give...
Awww...big hugs. Bayleigh is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful relationship with such a wonderful grandma. 5 minutes, 45 minutes or 4 hours away, I have a strong feeling that Bayleigh will always come to grandma.

And empty nester, once again
This is going to be a hard post to write. I know it will leave me in tears and I will struggle with how to best put this tangled mix of emotions I'm having into words. For that reason, I've been putting it off. Sometimes waiting is good. As a side note, I read a list of blog pet peeves rec...

Introducing Mr. Keaton Hayes Roberts.
Eight pounds six ounces of perfection. sweet, sweet Keaton arrived yesterday a bit after noon. Such a delicious little piece of heaven.
I'm catching up on blogs today -- I LOVE those roses. I'm a beginning gardener, so I'm going to remember your advice for when I make my plans for next year (sounds like I'm too late for this year).

Your Rose & Deer Repellent Questions Answered
I received lots of emails about my English garden roses and the deer repellent I use so I thought I'd answer all of your questions here. Where did I purchase the roses? I purchase bare root roses from David Austen Roses. It helps to plan ahead when ordering these as popular varieties sell out...
I love the small arrangements...stock is one of my favorite flowers.

Small Flower Arrangements, Spring Centerpieces
I've always been a fan of petite centerpieces with flowers of all one color. White flowers are a particular favorite - the beautiful scent from these stock filled the entire room. I'm also a fan of mercury glass and actually use my mercury glass votives as petite vases. To protect the fini...
I'm on typepad too & it's a pain in the rear to make changes. Thanks so much for posting these tips, I will definitely use them in the future.

My blog got a makeover
It's something I've wanted to do for a while, just haven't had the time to sit at the computer for several hours straight, and that's what it took. Hours. I'm sure the little tweaks I made could have been knocked out in no time by someone who actually knows what they are doing. I am not that so...
I love the idea of having a garden full of fresh ingredients, but I have such a brown thumb that I'm afraid to even try. Maybe now that we have a yard with full sun, I should give it a try. Keep us updated on your progress & maybe it will give me the push that I need :)

My Dreams for a Potager Garden
I have long dreamed of planting a proper potager, or kitchen garden. One of my favorite places to visit when we travel are beautiful gardens. Whether it's the formal gardens of Paris, or country gardens in the English countryside; I am most happy roaming pea gravel paths lined with boxw...
I love it! Especially the thread board & the cutting table....sigh...I'd love to have a cutting table....
You did a wonderful job.

Sewing room makeover take... three?
I've lost count to be honest. You have to live with a room a while to learn what works and what doesn't. Especially so for a working room. While Casey was away becoming one of the few and the proud, I took over his room. I figured the Marines owned him for at least four years, he wouldn't be nee...
The flowers might be forget-me-nots...I'm certainly no expert though!

Lovely Blue Flowers - What Kind are They???
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Ours was especially fun-filled. On Friday evening, a friend joined us for dinner and she brought us the most beautiful flowers. I loved the combination of the orange roses, white calla lillies and these amazing petite blue flowers. Does anyone know what...

Bannetons - Classic French Bread Baskets
Yesterday, was the first time I used my new bannetons to make bread and I was so happy with the results. Bannetons are typically used in artisan bread making to support the dough while it rises giving it structure and a beautiful crust pattern. Mine are made from cane and were purchased from h...

Bridesmaid Necklaces
I've just packaged up the last of my orders for the week. This set of six necklaces was one of my favorites. They were created for a bridal party who will be wearing beautiful blush chiffon dresses and silver Badgley Mischka pumps with a ruffle embellishment. I loved how the rhinestone piece a...

Trophy Cup Utensil Holders
At one of my recent shoots, the homeowner had a collection of antique trophy cups lined up on her windowsill filled with wooden utensils, pastry brushes and other kitchen items. I thought it was so clever I had to take a pic to share with you! Don't you just love finding useful ways to incorpo...

The house is coming along beautifully. In just about a month, we went from this: to what you see above! In fact, it's even farther along than shown in that photo. The roof is on, all of the electrical, HVAC, & plumbing are installed and the front porch has been poured. We had the pre-dryw...

Where've You Been, Girl? (And Some Tips on Staging)
Hi friends! I'm not sure if anyone has been wondering where I've been, but the answer is: buried. Under the "get-this-house-ready-for-sale" mountain of tasks that have consumed the past month. The great news is that I'm done (YAY!) and the house looks great. It should be on the market la...

The words around here are: staging, realtors, money stuff, snow days. The staging/cleaning up process goes on...I painted our main bath a gorgeous pale gray last week, which I can't wait to show you! Another big project last week was the re-organization of the pantry. Not strictly necessary f...
They look good! I read recently that people who crave carbs (like you & me) metabolize food differently than those who don't, which accounts for the cravings. That made me feel better - it's not my fault that I crave cookies! Ha!

Weekend Brunch Special: Non Carb Zombie Edition
I love weekend breakfast/brunch. If I had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of my life, it would be breakfast. This is, of course, due to my being a carb addict. So many breakfast foods are carby, sugary goodness. The problem with this (yes, I said problem) is that your blood sugar crashes...

Last evening we received eight inches of snow, our first accumulation of the year. It was a heavy wet snow that coated the trees and we awoke this morning to a winter wonderland, and thankfully no power outages. I relish any opportunity to keep my girls home from school so I love snow days. ...
Courtney,
Id love to, but they were purchased over 2 years ago they probably arent stocked any longer at Sams club. However, you made me curious as to whats out there I found this link:

Also, I looked up apothecary jar on ebay, etsy (under the vintage section) amazon and found lots of jars on each . Good luck!
