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
Easy Christmas Postcards
I generally send out over 100 Christmas cards to friends and family members. It often takes up to three full days to create a newsletter, hand sign and list the addresses of the cards. This year since I was off to a late start and Christmas is just three weeks away I wanted to hit a big “EASY” button. So I made Easy Christmas Postcards. I also try to send out change of address postcards whenever we move so I decided “Why not combine the two this year?” Typing in “vintage Christmas postcards” ... View the Post

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
Simple Abundance
I want to thank everyone who has left me such wonderful comments, tweets, and messages during this difficult time. While I am still currently in Minnesota I felt that it was appropriate to run this post, which was written prior to my Grandmother’s passing, as she was one of the most faithful women I have been blessed to know. 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
Pretty Picnics for the Labor Day Weekend
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. There is something so charming about enjoying the last warm days of summer outdoors. While many people opt to use a patriotic color palette to decorate for the holiday I love the idea of happy bright colors often found in flowers that are blooming right now. Or even a pure white ...
