Last week, I shared that I have so many pretty pictures on my phone.  Because it is always with me, I am always ready for photos ops.   The picture above is one that I snapped on the way back from the mailbox one morning when the fog was almost lifted.  It was really pretty out […]

This spooky Halloween mantel came to me in the middle of the night.  This happens when my brain is less active and can be creative.  I wanted to create a mantel with a ghost.  So I was brainstorming ways to make ghosts and even looking on Pinterest.  I finally decided that I wanted large one […]

Deb and I shared this DIY sidewalk by the cottage over on social media several weeks ago.  It wasn’t until now that I had time to share it here.  I have stated before that we want everything to look like it’s been here forever – including little things like sidewalks.  We love to use items […]

I have said a million times over on social media that I am not a gray person.  I love the color in other people’s homes, but I cannot live with it.  Remember me and my color issue. ????   Gray is a color to me and not a neutral. We have so many gray days here […]
