Welcome to the eighth day of Advent. How is your inner candle on this Something More Sundays Week 2? Burning brightly I hope. Something More Sundays Week 2 Today I have a REALLY good story for you. There was once a time when I was hungry. The Fashionista was a wee babe. My main mode of transportation was a bicycle. I was married to an airman at the time and he was often away in places like Korea and such. There was another woman whose husband was in the same squadron as mine. She ... View the Post
Storybook Cottage A French Country Kitchen
I am going to tell you right now that the Storybook Cottage A French Country Kitchen is not finished. There are still countertops to be replaced, a stove to be saved for, curtains to be sewn, art to be hung…. and it’s not gonna get done before Christmas. But it really doesn’t matter because there is still beauty in the unfinished, the undone, the imperfect. I hope you agree with me. Storybook Cottage A French Country Kitchen Let’s get this party started with the glorious ... View the Post

Something More Sundays Week 1
There can be grace in grief we find in Something More Sundays Week 1. The holidays can be doubly difficult if someone has experienced the recent loss of a loved one. Enough tears can be shed to possibly brine a Thanksgiving turkey.

This could be a prime opportunity for guilt in addition to grief. But I have decided not to invite that notion to live and fester ... View the Post
Thanksgiving Drink Station
Pinterest is filled with lovely images of Thanksgiving bar carts. Inspired, I sought to create a drink station for children and teetotalers. Here is our Thanksgiving Drink Station. Thanksgiving Drink Station On the sideboard, I used a bit of old petticoat ruffle as a runner and topped it with various bits of holiday sparkle. Keeping the harvest in mind I tried to bring in texture with wood trays, baskets, and the bounty of the season. If you have a bit of difficulty getting the ... View the Post
