Fall has made it’s appearance all over the cottage.  I have been working very hard getting this cottage all fall-fied.  Not kidding.  This place has never been completely decorated at once… And, it has always had a pile of something that needed to go back to storage, put away, or organized.  It is really […]

I told you that we are having a baby shower here at the end of the month.  It’s for one of our girls.  I know it may not be kosher to have a baby shower for one of your kids. BUT… she has been gone from this area for 15 years.  We just both feel […]

  Deb and I attended the Springfield Extravaganza in May and I don’t think I have ever shared the one and only purchase we found.  We went with an entire list of things that we were looking for several upcoming projects.   Unfortunately, we found nothing that we went for.  It was half way through the […]
