late to the greek yogurt party
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by . All words and opinions are honest and completely my own. Truth. When I was asked if I would be interested in working with (pronounced fa-yeh), a Greek yogurt company, as a sponsor, I had to pause a minute and think about it. Hmm…I don’t know. Is it good? […]
the big three
When I worked in the corporate world (can you even imagine that?), I would keep a running to-do list on a legal pad. Each day, I would work through the list until it was “quitting time” and, whatever was left on the list would get transferred to a fresh piece of paper as the start […]
customizing paint colors for your home
When I painted my home office, I mentioned that I used Benjamin Moore’s Stonington Gray mixed at 50% and I got a lot of questions asking what that meant. I explained it years ago, but thought I would do a refresher post, explaining why I love to customize colors on the paint deck. I do […]
Tuscany, Paris, & Junk Bonanza

It was flight that was light and swift, like a blue jay. The wind was in my hair and I glided, soared, and soaked […]
craigslist coffee table & playroom update
There’s some progress we’ve made on our house, but I haven’t shared it, because it’s not done or particularly photo-worthy! I’m really trying to get out of that everything-has-to-be-a-beauty-shot mindset, though. I’m working on it. So, here are some pictures of updates we’ve made to the basement, just to show what’s happening on the home-front. […]
the process of designing textiles
In case you missed the happy news, Free Spirit Fabrics, the maker of my fabric line, was bought out by Jaftex and saved! That means Bunnies, Birds & Blooms will be available for sale and I’m finishing up my second collection! Since I’m in the throes of color ways, I thought it would be a […]
