One of the things on my to-do list when visiting Paris was to buy a copper sauce pot, either a useable antique one from the flea market or a new one from E. Dehillerin, the kitchen supply store that was Julia Child’s favorite. The copper at the flea market was mouthwateringly gorgeous, but it was way out of my price … Read More
Summer 2018 Favorites
This week is back to school week and that means I can have my work day back! Don’t get me wrong. I have enjoyed the lazy mornings, trips to visit family, movie matinees with the boys, the warmer weather for gardening and house projects, and watching the boys enjoy the freedom of summer. We had lots of playdates, sleepovers, bike … Read More

Before we get too far into April, though, let me share some of my favorites … Read More

Oh, girls… I am down in Florida right now having a personal creative retreat and it’s been soooo good. I can’t wait to sort through my pages of notes and share it all (or a lot of it) with you. But for today, I’m featuring one of my fellow creative business owners… I’ve followed Courtney from The French Country Cottage … Read More
February 2018 Favorites
It’s the beginning of another month and that means it’s time to look back at some of my favorites from the previous month. As I wrote this post, I realized that there is a theme of “spending” spread throughout the highlights.
