I had so much fun with my friends for a recent luncheon at my house. Did they tease me about my blog? Oh yes, they did! Did they like their candy filled goodie boxes? I think so. Carol left hers accidentally at my house, so I gave it to the babysitter. (Sorry Carol!) I mentioned […]
Crate Crush
I adore using crates when I decorate a room. (Want a crate for yourself? Scroll to the bottom of the post for my source!) You can really do anything with them. Here I’ve filled them with a few of my vintage seltzer bottles, some inherited movie reels, and blue Mason jars filled with vintage sewing […]
Floral Frog from Scotch Tape
I love a floral frog. I mean it holds the flowers in place so they don’t droop or fall out of the vase or planter. The problem was I has camillas cut from my yard, and they have very very short stems. And I was hosting a luncheon and wanted an arrangement with the camillas in an inherited pink […]

We rolled out the cookie dough, and used heart-shaped cookie cutters, then baked them in the oven on parchment paper so they wouldn’t stick. […]
Pretty in Pink
I admit it, I love pink, but with a husband weary of a house full of estrogen (We have 2 girls.) I do try to reign it in – MOST of the time. But today we’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day, so Mr. CH, today might be a good day for you to take off, […]
