Ok, I’ll admit it that I am not fond of orange or rust. While I like those tones on trees, they are not my favorite for dining room design. I decided to create a tablescape using colors I adore but would still result in a fabulously fall Thanksgiving table. I bring you An Unexpected Thanksgiving Table. 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

My Own House of Horrors
Ok, so My Own House of Horrors is not quite as bad as this: My Own House of Horrors But I always have a ton of school projects waiting to get done and there always seems to be laundry to fold.

I have found that if I apply the 20-year rule to my life, it makes decision making a lot easier. What is the 20-year ... View the Post
Festive Fall Recipe
This is a wonderful Festive Fall Recipe from my childhood. In the backyard of my childhood home, we had an apple tree. Every fall my mom would make my very favorite applesauce. Festive Fall Recipe I decided that it was high time I use my ample supply of apples to give my children a taste of my childhood via my mom's homemade applesauce.
