This is currently the view from our back door featuring a very dirty patio chandelier that hangs above our patio table. I had set out to do a bit of spring cleaning earlier in the week and found a little something that said it would have to wait. Hummingbird Happiness. Hummingbird Happiness The following images feature a different angle taken through the glass doors. The quality is a bit poor, but I know you'll forgive me as you probably wouldn't want to disturb such a wee mother either. ... View the Post
Decorating with Dyed Doilies
During a painting project with Sweet Boy, I fell in love with the soft watercolor shades we were creating. I wondered what else could be created with the wonderful colors so I decided to head to the dollar store. This post features Decorating with Dyed Doilies.

Friday O’ Freebie

My mind quickly recalled that I had done a thesis paper on such a marvel for a historical architecture class. Interestingly enough, I asked my original ... View the Post
Love Lives In This House

Even during my single years I would make plans to share a meal with other single friends, send a card to my widowed relatives and generally let those special people in my life know that they were (and are) loved. Love Lives In This House. This is the porch vignette that is currently greeting any visiting family or friends: Love Lives In This ... View the Post
