My word…April flew by! I can’t believe it’s May already and the end of the school year is just weeks away. Crazy. I’m not sure if I’m ready for summer just yet! Anyway, before we get ahead of ourselves, let me share some of my favorite things from April… Les Misérables on Masterpiece I’m pretty eager to like just about … Read More
March Favorites
Wow! I wasn’t expecting such a response to selling the postal sorter. I can assure you, though, that I’ve bought and sold a lot of beautiful things over the years…things that were rare, unusual, and things that I loved.

As I was putting this list together, I realized I did a poor job keeping track of some of my favorite things for October. Usually, … Read More
I gained 12 lbs in paris
You might think this title would fit better with the post about the patisserie tour, but I didn’t gain 12 lbs on my body…just in my suitcase. Yes, this post is about shopping! I was looking forward to everything I would see and do while in Paris and a few towns in Tuscany, but I was also anticipating the shopping. … Read More
