I absolutely adore the bar cart trend with its darling drink stirrers, gorgeous glasses, and super cute straws. But I am not much of a drinker.

I Decorated My Very First Christmas Banister
Having grown up in the era of The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family I have often longed for a fabulous staircase. Sliding down the banister seemed like such fun!

A $3 Advent Wreath
I almost forgot to share A $3 Advent Wreath from dollar store supplies. But I had a few readers that kindly reminded me. I found the foam circle and taper candles at the Dollar Tree store. The pine greenery came from a Christmas tree lot that was only too happy to oblige when I asked if they had any free cuttings. The pan belonged to my mom, Nadine. It really shows its age with all the fantastic crazing in the cream-colored glaze. Simply place the florist foam inside whatever vessel ... View the Post
