“I knew you were here…”
I went shopping on Friday to get some fresh inspiration and to find some things for the online shop. I stopped at a couple of local stores and then one of my favorite local antique malls. When I went to the checkout, one of the vendors said, “I saw that pile on the counter and […]
baked potato soup recipe
I shared a couple of weeks ago that I made a full-fat, no-skimping-on-the-good-stuff baked potato soup recipe as a treat. I love creamy soups and casseroles, but I don’t make them very often anymore, because they are just so calorie-laden. But it was a dreary day and both Jeff and I were in the mood […]

Pillows for the Family Room
I shared a couple of days ago that I was going to make some custom pillow covers for the family room sectional. It came with pillows, but they weren’t my style/colors. Making pillow covers in fabrics that tie my style and colors with the sectional is a great way to make something feel a little […]
