Storybook Cottage Versus A Tornado. This past Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning a tornado touched down where we live. The after effects were a bit messy but I am SO thankful to say that our beloved Storybook Cottage came through, although she’s a bit battered and bruised. Our guardian angels were truly working overtime.

Sunbonnets and Smiles
Have you ever had your face ache from smiling too much? It feels SO wonderfully special combining Sunbonnets and Smiles.

Winter Bliss Organizing and Decorating
Happy first Monday of the new year! This post covers Winter Bliss Organizing and Decorating. Winter Bliss Organizing and Decorating In the days after the holiday, my formal dining area became the dumping ground of Christmas past.
