Books affect each and every one of us in so many ways.
Whether they be of a source of learning, vast resources,
or a wonderful source of entertaining.
I find books enhance our lives and also our decor, especially in my home.

on the table in the great room.
Winterizing the Foyer, A Winter Vignette
January 5, 2016 By
After a very busy and fun-filled weekend with friends and family
which was also filled with surprises,
I hit the ground running on Monday, dismantling the Christmas decorations.
It usually takes me the better part of the week to do this,
so I concentrate on one area at a time.
I thought it best to start in the entry . . . the foyer.
After the Christmas items were taken away,
I began winterizing the foyer.

Our Great Room Christmas Mantel
November 30, 2015 By
Our Great Room Christmas mantel this year
is probably the most simplistic mantel that I have created.
I promised myself this year
that I am really going to downsize my Christmas decorations.
I did give many boxes of Christmas ornaments, florals and decorations
along with a couple of trees to Habitat last year.
However, I did keep these little trees!

Ironstone and Limelight Hydrangeas and The Winners
November 6, 2015 By
Vintage Ironstone and Limelight Hydrangeas just seem to go together
like grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.
I traveled to Virgina this week with my hubby
and was able to see my friend Mary Alice.
Most of you know she is moving, and I took the opportunity to pick up some items
that I purchased from her shop.
One of the items was a beautiful vintage ironstone sugar bowl.
