I LOVE my collections.  And, I also love displaying them.  If you haven’t noticed, I also like to group together vintage and new items, everyday items with seasonal items.  I feel mixing everything together keeps things interesting and random.  It’s is probably the reason when people ask me what my style is, I really have […]

I recently shared a reel over on Instagram of this Thanksgiving centerpiece idea.  It is so simple.  I grabbed the riser out of the storage unit that Deb made a few years back when we were at the old house.  It sat on our outdoor table under the pergola and I would decorate it every […]

  We LOVE trying new recipes.  And we tend to gravitate towards simple and quick meals that are also pretty healthy.  Did you try the chili recipe that I shared yet?  I cannot get it off of my mind.  ????  It is SO DELICIOUS.  I do have a recipes tab up top if you are […]
