This is kind of a fun opportunity in the middle of all the crazy to say hi to all of you and see how you're doing! I hope you're staying healthy and that you have enough toilet paper and all that. I don't usually get a chance to chat with you unless I know you in real life. But since we're all sequestered in our little bubbles, why the heck not? It also gives me something fun to do, since normally ... View Post

Some of My Favorites I love this view of our bedroom decorated with a rustic ... View Post

Hop on over and take a look! Did anyone hear that beige was one of the color trends for 2019? What do you think about that? ... View Post
Changes for Fall
It was lovely and wonderful and FALL here in Tennessee a couple of weeks ago. I even brought a plaid, wool blanket to the neighborhood pool to keep warm while our kids swam for one last time.
