A big shout out to Ann and Rebekah. I asked you to send me pictures of your fall decor, and they did. Not surprisingly, their autumn displays are much, much better than mine. I promised I would share, and I am thrilled to let you tour their homes. Both Ann and Rebekah have homes that are […]
Have a welcoming entry. Do not let your entry be an afterthought. An entry needs to welcome guest and make them feel at home. Be sure your home makes a good first impression. These are the type of statements made by designers. In fact, some designers might make the entry decor their top priority. Trouble is – […]
Ideas can take years to incubate. At least that is what happens to me. This story began many moons ago. Was it one year, two years, or more? I honestly can’t remember. What I do remember is that one day I found four brass English wall plaques at a thrift store. They were 75 cents each. […]
It is September. School has begun. The official passing of summer – Labor Day – has come and gone. For weeks other blogs have been posting fall decor. I thought it time I got with the program. I love this time of year. Autumn brings such beautiful changes. Initially, I thought I would only get […]

Beautiful – Absolutely beautiful! Seeing touches of autumn at The Mrs.’ home made my heart go pity-pat. Oh, how I loved the pumpkin topiaries that greeted us at the front door. I kept walking outside just to look at them. It could not have been easy to find the right shape, color, and size of […]
The days are cooler, and it is official autumn. I thought it time I got out a little of my “fall decor”. Honestly, there are only a few touches of fall so far, but I thought I would share what is happened in the dining room. I love white pumpkins and have bought several through […]
At 5:44 P.M. Central daylight time on September 22, 2013, autumn officially began. That is the time of the Autumnal Equinox – the time when the sun passes over the Earth’s equator and day and night are about equal. Yes, summer is officially over. It is time to begin thinking about cooler days, fall decor, […]
Trees I Tthink that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her […]
