Who the Heck is Maggie?

Who the Heck is Maggie?

The piece I found in another old barn that became the fountain head so to speak, of our barn when you enter. photo credit emcee studio For those of you who have followed us from the very beginning, you know that there is a “that girl” behind me who helped bring my “left of center” idea […]

Mother’s Day Florals

May 7, 2016

Mother’s Day Florals

There are many things that we equate with Mother’s Day. Hand made cards from your children, sometimes made from small hands smothered in paint, stick figures and hearts. Breakfast in bed served by your adoring little fans. Once they grow up, that is another story. Brunches and dad’s attempts at taking over all of the […]

A Visual Luncheon for Women

March 13, 2016

A Visual Luncheon for Women

The beauty of an old book draws me in. The warn covers, be they leather or paper. The decorative elements, sometimes gilded, sometimes raised, often understated yet elegant. The feel of the pages that have been turned so may times before by various hands. Do you ever wonder upon flipping the pages of such a […]

Valentine’s Day Treat Love

February 10, 2016

Valentine’s Day Treat Love

Another holiday to celebrate and to decorate for…I LOVE it! Holidays and their celebrations have been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl watching my grandmother wrestle with a very large spray painted white tree branch while securing it in a large can full of paster of paris.  Why the […]

The Nesting Bug

The Nesting Bug

How come January 1st hits and our mind shifts from the bustle and fun of the holidays to cleaning out every closet and room that has been accumulating extra elements over the course of the prior year. Why now? That stuff most likely has been clogging those areas from when you cleaned them out after […]

Our New Year Letter

December 31, 2015

Our New Year Letter

Dear friends, Isn’t it fitting that Christmas closes out the year? With all of its gatherings with family and friends, its sparkle in the dark of winter, its uplifted spirit, its season of hope…it seems the perfect choice to herald in the new year to come, with its sparkling promises. It would seem rather strange […]

The Colors of Christmas

“Who would have known it all would have started with a shoebox? ” my mom asked me on a phone conversation the other day. That shoe box being the one pictured below, that she gave me eons ago from one of her discarded boxes that had held her Christmas cards. She was way ahead of […]

December 1st ~ The Countdown is On!

December 1st ~ The Countdown is On!

I have never been one for pushing the arrival of Christmas even though I am a true Christmas addict. Scanning the aisles at Halloween and seeing out of the corner of my eye, Christmas merchandise, honestly makes me cringe. Getting ready for our Holiday Open House that we held mid November took a little getting […]

Summer Entertaining

Summer Entertaining

“The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, […]
