If you need a quick St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape this post is for you! Two weeks ago I got lucky and discovered chocolate leprechauns at See’s Candy. I quickly decided to create an entire tablescape around them. St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape I had gone into the store with the single mission of purchasing three large candy eggs to nest in some Easter baskets. Then I spied Saint Patrick and it was all over. So I had to create a tablescape. I had posted a few St. Patrick’s Day ideas ... View the Post
St Patricks Day Food and Fun
St. Patrick’s Day is sneaking up on me. I sat down last night to get inspired. Here is St Patricks Day Food and Fun. Long-time readers of my blog know I love out-of-the-box and inexpensive ideas.

Vintage Floral Easter Eggs
I had a feeling that Easter would sneak up on me like a quiet little bunny.

Spring Has Me Thinking About Tree Roses
When I was a little girl my grandparents had wonderful across the street neighbors. At this moment I wish I had a photograph of Willie and Alice to share with you.

To this day they remain my very favorite rose. Spring Has Me Thinking About Tree Roses As you may be aware I struggle with having ... View the Post
The Climb
Yesterday was a gorgeous Arizona spring day~ clear and in the ’70s. It was time for The Climb. Also known as the 30th Annual Climb For Cancer on South Mountain. Back in early January, we asked if there was anyone we could climb for. We received several names. The Climb Two weeks ago I learned that my very, very good friend Marci has cancer. She is 38. You met her last year in the post “A Rose Amongst the Thorns”. So the walk was made for Marci and many others. All names were ... View the Post
