The bewitching hour is near (and maybe past where you live). But, better late than never.
I wanted to post my pumpkin earlier, but he was feeling a bit under-the-weather. It seems he caught the dreaded Swine Flu and the stomach flu as well (poor thing), but he still wanted to greet all those little goblins [...]

Ummmm, I can smell those burgers now! Fire up that grill a few more times! Nothing like casual outdoor get- togethers to summarize summer. Yes, Labor Day has a wacky way of announcing “that’s it, summer’s over!”. Well, not for this summer loving soul. I stretch it out as long as possible. Luckily warm weather will [...]

Summer is sizzling, but also fading faster than footprints in wet sand. So, I took an afternoon off last week and headed for the beach( in Orange County, Ca). The waves were breaking big and I wanted to watch some “knarly” surfing. I enjoyed surfing, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I still get that “surfer high” just watching ( I guess you can [...]

Last summer my husband replaced the deck floor and this year I’ve had the fun of furnishing and decorating it. Let [...]

I enjoy adding a little bit of summer around the house. One place that gets neglected is the fireplace. Who wants to think about the fireplace in the summer? Well, it’s still a focal point in the room, and attention is drawn to that ugly black box and hearth. I was looking around the house to find [...]

Happy Independence Day!!
My dh is an American History buff. Add to that our love for early American decor, and . . . well, you will find a touch of American pride throughout our home.
I am so thankful for our early leaders who believed in a free America. I am thankful for the men and [...]

Ahhh, summer at the beach. It can’t be beat. Especially around the 4th of July. I enjoy cruising around to see how people have decorated for the holiday. They seem to never disappoint… billowing bunting bedecked the bungalows (there I go again) and patriotic pagentry punctuated porches (I just can’t help it). Red, white and blue everywhere. It was a joy [...]
