While I was playing in Myrtle Beach and along the Grand Strand, I was able to indulge my bargain hunting addiction and visit a bunch of thrift and consignment stores in the area. They actually have more than 60 listed on web searches, and I just couldn't get to them all, but I had a …

Easter Tablescape
Taking the Spring Tablescape from the blog hop to Easter was pretty simple. I already had a good theme going with the yellow and green colors, and a few vintage rabbits. Last year I got these Easter crackers to have for the gals at the office. But alas, the party I had planned to surprise …
Springtime Tablescape and Blog Hop
Springtime brings lighter colors, warmer days, and a desire to go outside to the garden. It's a wonderful time when the air is clear, and warm gentle breezes drift across the veranda while we enjoy the sunrise over the mountains, and sunsets across the valley. I am so ready for it to warm up and …
Romantic Table for Two Blog Hop
With the romance of Valentine's day on the horizon, it is time to think about a romantic dinner for two at home. I am delighted to join Chloe for her blog hop Romantic Table for Two, ideas and tablescapes. Perhaps the 14th will have you eating out, so a nice meal at home may be …
Winter White
Now that the holidays are truly over, I like to create a cleaner space after the clutter of the autumn season followed by Christmas. For me, going to to an all white decor is a rest for the eyes before getting to the rich Valentine reds and Mardi Gras colors of February. The snow over …
New Year’s Eve

Catching up to Christmas
I am working on several new projects for this holiday season, but nothing is ready to show yet. I will be working on our quilt-along this afternoon, the next step is tomorrow. My weekend sale online orders from all my favorite retailers are coming in for new projects for the blog, thread and fabric should …
Thanksgiving Tablescape
Thanksgiving is upon us, and I like to set the table ahead of time. It lets me know if I need to do any chores, like polish the silverware. Usually I do need to do that. This is the time to get out all the good stuff, the china you don't use much, the special …
November Breakfast
Thanksgiving morning means a nice breakfast while watching the parade in my jammies. With a large meal later in the day, and sometimes snacks during football games, breakfast needs to be nice but not over filling. I do enjoy making the overnight egg casserole in a small baking dish, just enough for two. Sometimes DH …
