The garland I have used for many years finally fell apart so I had to get a new one this year. Every one I looked at was ugly, overpriced or both so I decided to make my own. It was so easy to make. I just picked out a basic evergreen garland in enough [...]
We returned from our week long vacation and to my surprise, most of my plants looked pretty good. There was enough rain that most everything did well in my absence. My tomatoes are turning red and they are so delicious. We had blt’s for dinner last night. Yum. That is the taste of summertime. Which reminds me that [...]
I am posting again about this fun project from last spring. We found some vintage windows on the curb, and they inspired this entire project. With a bit of wood found in the garage and a quick trip to Home Depot, we had the makings of a fun weekend. On a gorgeous day early last Spring, myhusband got started on building me [...]

I made this wreath several years ago from vintage ornaments I have collected through the years. Most of them were saved from family, some from garage sales and ebay. They are what I always decorate my tree with, but I had so many I decided to make some of the extras into a wreath so [...]
