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.

Next Sunday as I light my Simple Abundance Advent candle I will think of her. Simple Abundance Black Friday is coming. Along with it, there will be mobs of ... View the Post

I love to entertain outdoors. Here are a few ideas for Pretty Picnics for the Labor Day Weekend. Pretty Picnics for the Labor Day Weekend I love the idea of setting a sweet scene in a summer orchard.
