Well, it is almost Christmas and if you are like me you are pretty busy with everything that goes along with the season. Hopefully, your shopping is done and you only have the "last minute" things to do. This will be my last post before Christmas and I wanted to share the "lights of Christmas" be…
Wow! Ten days before Christmas! If you are like me, you are VERY busy with the shopping, the wrapping of gifts and the festivities of the season. Thankfully, I finished decorating my house a week ago and have thoroughly been enjoying it. Seeing the Christmas decorations around the house that are so special to my f…
I started decorating my home for Christmas in the middle of November. I find doing so helps me enjoy the season all the more and takes away some of the stress of the season as December approaches. Still, it takes me weeks to finish the process. In fact, I was still working on finishing touches just yesterday! I a…
As I mentioned in my last post, I had the opportunity and pleasure of visiting New York City last week courtesy of my husband needing to go there on business. By coincidence, my son also had business in the city. So, lucky for me, he and his wife took the kids out of school for a few days and we all made a mini vaca…
I know this is not the most timely post considering it is after Thanksgiving but, I hope you don't mind if I talk about my Thanksgiving table centerpiece. I am late because everything was busy before the holiday, as I was hosting the big dinner at my house. Then, as soon as the meal was done the weekend too…
Last week I mentioned that I was going to host a wreath making party in my shed this week. It was supposed to be a "kick-off" of sorts for the holiday season. It was also a way to get a few friends and family together and to check out my new shed in a "workshop" kind of way. I am trying to deter…
Happy Veterans Day ! Thank You, Veterans ! I invited a few ladies to my house this weekend to make seeded eucalyptus wreaths. It's a little get-together to kick off the holiday season. I have been busy this week preparing for that. I hope to be sharing the festivities with you in a post next week. For…
Since we are in between Halloween and Thanksgiving and are in a bit of a lull holiday-wise, I thought I would brighten things up and share some of the professional photos from the wedding I did back in August for Keri and John. You can read my previous posts about their wedding here and here if you would like. Ke…
Happy Saturday, Everyone! I don't usually publish posts on Saturday but, I wanted to get this one out before the end of October and I didn't want it to compete with Halloween on Monday. October is almost over and I thought I would share an Instagram photo shoot I did for #ShowMeYourHoliday a few weeks ago. …
Last week I shared some photos of fall decor on the outside of my house. This week I wanted to show you some vignette photos from inside my home. As I have said previously, I can't seem to help myself when it comes to seasonal and holiday decorating. I think it's in my blood. My mom and my grandmother …
Since I was sooo wordy in my last post, I am going to try to keep the chatter to a minimum this time around. I have told you in the past how much I love summer but, I have to admit autumn comes in as a very close second. I love the clothes, the sports, the colors, the activities...I guess I'm getting wordy again…
Last week my husband and I decided, in the spur of the moment, to take an overnight trip to the Franconia Notch area of New Hampshire to get away and to see the foliage. We had been talking about doing this for months and once we saw that the weather forecast was good, we took some work time off and headed North. T…
The journey of Kiersten and Chris' wedding continues with the bride and bridesmaid bouquets. I am not sure if I mentioned in the first installment of this wedding journey just how much fun Kiersten was to work with. She really loved flowers and was eager to embrace the colors and textures of fall. She seemed very…
Last January, my niece, Kiersten, contacted me and asked if I could do the flowers for her wedding. I, of course, said, "Yes!". I was thrilled. At our first official meeting a few weeks later, I met her fiancé, Chris. They were such a cute couple! So much fun! With that first meeting, the journey f…
Since today is the first day of fall and I am beginning the process of doing the flowers for a wedding this weekend and am super busy, I thought I would re-post my foliage tour of my town from last year. I hope you don't mind. I'll be back "live" next week :). ______________________________________…
The last time I spoke about my shed it was last spring and it looked like this. I had written about the construction of the shed and how it would eventually be where I would do my floral designing and, hopefully, host parties and workshops. I also wrote about how I didn't want to call it a "she shed" b…
