Paris 2019 | the fountain pen store
As I shared in THIS POST, I visited a pen & paper shop mentioned in the book A Paris Year on our first day in the hopes of finding a fountain pen. While the shop was charming, it wasn’t what I was expecting and they didn’t carry what I was looking for. I knew from […]
Paris 2019 | Marais Walking Tour
One of my favorite experiences in Paris last year was a private walking tour (The Sweet Side of Paris), so I decided to schedule another tour for this visit. These small tours are a great way to see the city and learn new things. My mom, John, Wendy, and I decided to do the Treasures […]
Paris 2019 | Chateau Latour & the Louvre
I’m ho-ome! For those who haven’t been following on Instagram or Facebook, I spent two weeks in Europe and arrived back in the States yesterday. I didn’t want to work on blog posts during my trip. Instead, I took lots of pictures and kept a detailed journal, so I could share it all with you […]
studio desk chair & the computer ban

At first, it was a Fench cane chair that worked pretty well, even if it wasn’t the best height or the most comfortable. But, I could slowly feel the cane seat loosening and it finally punched through (which was […]
restyled hutch
I have never really been drawn to the color of Jadeite, to be honest. It just wasn’t a shade of green I particularly liked. But, my tune has changed when it comes to that color! After using the in my green and white summer tablescape last month, I bought a few more pieces and decided […]
wet bar refresh
Sooo…we have this wet bar in our basement family room. It’s nice to have a little fridge down there for drinks and a place to put a coffee maker, etc. for guests (the guest room is right off the basement family room). But, I have to admit, I haven’t really been treating this wet bar […]
August 2019 Favorites
As I look back over August, it was a good month! I had a lot of favorites as summer was winding down and fall started to creep in with the changing of the leaves on a few trees and school starting. Usually, August is hot and it drags on, but that has not been the […]
artist’s guild, an engineering set & ironstone
I wanted to share a few more of my Gold Rush finds today. One of them is so simple, but it’s one of my favorite finds of the day. While I was touring the old schoolhouse/music hall, I found a stack of statement pads. The top one had been nibbled at and was in poor […]
