There might be 93 days between the first day of summer and the the first day of autumn but for my girlies and I, we count summer from the last day of school to the first day of school. And... Continue reading

These quilts are lovely! The tight color palettes are so pretty--I can imagine a stack of these created over the years and your girls picking out their favorite to take back to college. I have to say also, I'm happy to see your weekly-ish blog posts. I follow you on IG and always find so much fun content in your stories but I like reading these posts with more of your thought process. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Hey MJ! What a wonderful Mother's Day. I love the chalkboard menu and the food looks delish!

I just got an old typewriter from my dad he had out in his barn--he had gotten it from a company he had worked for. It's from the late 60's/70's, huge and heavy. It took me forever to clean it up. I did a Google search on the model I have and there was some obscure website that had a scanned copy of the original owner manual. I was able to disassemble most of the typewriter to get all the gunk out. And I ordered a new ribbon off Amazon!

That's a great word! My OLW for 2015 is see. Still trying that one out. I did sign up for Ali Edwards OLW class--I need the monthly reminder to myself. Your blog looks great and I've been enjoying reading all your decor posts. As part of my OLW, I want to make time to see old friends...I would love to get together for lunch sometime!
I am attempting to revive the blog. I'll let you know how it goes. Emergency help may be needed. Continue reading

It's probably from living in a rural sub-division that does it, but I love a good city. And London, it's a favorite. Since this is my third trip to London in eighteen months, I thought I would list (some of)... Continue reading

Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Filed under "being-in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time", I was in Salisbury today with my mom and dad after a visit out to Stonehenge. As it turned out, the Queen was in Salisbury for a royal visit. I was... Continue reading

It's almost December. The year-end holidays have already begun and it's almost December. And that means, December Daily. I ordered the December Daily kit offered by Studio Calico; I received all the papers, embellishments, and trims but the American Crafts... Continue reading

Just a bit of housekeeping on the blog. I actually started a redo several months ago and got hung up on a bit of coding. Frustration set in and the blog was left alone. For a long time. But this... Continue reading

Lee, thank you so much for the kind words on your blog today! You have no idea how it made my day. I used Clinique lotion for years too, then switched to another line a couple years ago that offered more (cough,mumblig) anti-aging properties.I have several moleskine journals and while I love white towels at hotels, I really like colored towels at home but pristine white bed sheets.

On any given day, I rely on any number of everyday things to get me through: an alarm clock, that first cup of tea, my iPhone, my car. I also rely on a number of things that, while not necessary,... Continue reading

Good intentions. I always intend to blog more, get my scrapbooking projects done, print out or post my photos. Good intentions, I have to say, don't get me very far. Good intentions are like New Year's resolutions--quickly made and just... Continue reading

February 2011 will be remembered as the month that I got sick, stayed sick and got sicker. I came down with the flu on the first of the month--fever, cold, cough, aches--all those Nyquil symptoms. A week later, the aches... Continue reading
