It is truly the best time of year to live in Phoenix. Temperatures range in the 70s ~ 80s right now. I try to get outside as much as I can before the fierce heat arrives. We are lucky to have a pretty park that is just three walking minutes from our front door. I made the trip wearing my new Charlotte Russe sandals. W.I.W.W. Spring Has Sprung W.I.W.W.

A $15 Front Porch Makeover
The week started out with a 39 degree low but it now appears that spring has arrived in sunny Phoenix. On the front porch I cleared off all of the winter décor and hosed everything down. The red cushions that looked so cheery all through the holidays now appear tired and faded. The desert sun does a number on outdoor fabric even in the winter.

Way back in January I told you that I had tired of my 10-year-old black wool coat and was on the hunt for a new one. Alas, it seemed as if Phoenix was swimming only in a sea of black coats. W.I.W.W. Shopping Off Season I adore Tulle coats. Stores such as Anthropologie and Nordstrom seem to agree with me. The coat designs have a retro feel and they ... View the Post

All Things Irish Festive Fare
Today's post covers All Things Irish Festive Fare. Green is my favorite color. I love to set the table for St. Patrick's Day dinner. You can create mini votives by coring an apple and adding a candle. All Things Irish Festive Fare I love the elegant simplicity of this Celtic tablecloth created with a stencil and fabric paint. If my children are good, a leprechaun might leave a few gold coins sprinkled next to their place setting. Irish Recipes Continuing the simple ... View the Post
