Over the past few weeks, I have been consumed by end of semester projects and trying to find Christmas. My poor family has been subsisting on frozen food. I am, needless to say, A Hilarious Hot Mess, and my house…. oh the horror I haven’t cleaned house in over 2 weeks. A Hilarious Hot Mess Yet somehow this man still loves me and took me out to celebrate his birthday a bit early last Saturday. I think it was the last time my hair and makeup were done. The tree is STILL without a topper and ... View the Post
Finding Christmas
It was difficult Finding Christmas this year. I didn’t put up one scarecrow at Halloween. My pair of well-worn pilgrims were not anywhere in our home at Thanksgiving. This is unusual for me. Friends and family members alike commented on the lack of my, generally abundant, holiday décor… and now, December beckons. With it the fear of a lack of Finding Christmas. As a rule, my gifts are bought and our Christmas cards are sent before the first week has passed. But this year felt different. My ... View the Post

An Unexpected Thanksgiving Table Drawing inspiration from an antique Victorian postcard, I began with an antique dove gray Métis sheet topped by a vintage charcoal damask ... View the Post
Happy Halloween from…
Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, aka The Fashionista on her way to work. Check out the rock star footwear! The dashingly handsome Zorro. Accompanied by a French artiste. Friday afternoon found me at the school giving a few little ghouls a craft lesson. Each child was given a pile of chenille stems, fuzzy pom-poms, sequins, and spiders. Their creativity was amazing. The children were then allowed to put on their costumes. Then line up for the annual costume parade. To leave ... View the Post
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
Last March I took a trip to New Orleans. A trip to the Big Easy is not complete without a visit to one of their unusual cemeteries. I have been saving these photos as I thought they would be oh so appropriate for a Halloween post. Lafayette Cemetery No. 1. Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 Lafayette Cemetery #1 is located in the Garden District. It was established on a ridge in 1833 on land that was once the plantation home of the Livaudais family. There are beautiful sections that hold family ... View the Post
