We love yard sales, thrift shops, and flea markets.  Our all-time favorite flea market is the Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market in Springfield, Ohio.  They host a flea market every month of the year at the fair grounds.  But we have only been to the Extravaganza events which are held every May and September.  […]

Did you know we have four fireplaces in our home?  If you weren’t here from the beginning of the build, this may be new information to you.  When I first saw the plans from the architect, my heart jumped.  The thought of four fireplace mantels thrilled me to the core.  Especially when I saw the […]
