In my quest to simplify life in 2010, I have spent the last few days purging, de-cluttering and organizing my home. I am donating and recycling as much as possible and will even attempt to offer a freebie (computer table) on Craig’s List, in an effort to spare the landfill. I am much closer to [...]
New Year’s Eve was low keyed and relaxing. I began the day making bread. No bread machine, no mixer, no recipe and no measuring – all I need is a bowl, the ingredients and my hands. It used to be a regular occurrence; however, over the years it has turned into a “holiday only” treat. [...]
Hope you enjoyed your holiday and it was everything you wanted it to be. As the end of the holiday season is fast approaching, I just wanted to share one of our favorite holiday experiences with you. Viewing the store windows in Manhattan has turned into a tradition in our family. We usually drive in [...]
Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with wonderful memories and bright new beginnings in the New Year. Enjoy!

Her store is beautiful, cozy and full of unique chandeliers, bedding and vignettes worthy of long glances. There was a wrapped gift on [...]

I always get excited about renew and reuse products that are instrumental in keeping things out of the landfill. Renew and reuse (a.k.a. “green”) projects are fun, creative and empowering. I [...]
Continuing on with the many vendors I visited at the Country Living Fair, I saw pillows, vintage yo-yo quilts, cloth dolls and beautiful fabrics and vintage notions. Also, I attended a phenomenal demonstration (more about that in my next post) in the Country Living classroom where there was a beautifully styled table, gorgeous pinwheel quilt [...]
I am back from Country Living Fair. I had a great time. I took a lot of pictures that I will share with you over my next few posts. It was a well attended event. At a presentation, “30 Years of Country Living” I had the pleasure of talking to Chris Allen, newly appointed Publisher [...]
