Happy 4th of July... visit here for some "Country Living" ideas.
Wedding or just for everyday!

(BTW: Anyone planning on a Niagara Falls Honeymoon? Just curious...)

curl up this sunday

I hope to be lounging in something just like this today...

Thanks Barn House!!!

a better price than what i got!!!

This beautiful King Size Bedskirt (from Anthropologie) is a better price than what I just bought a plain white one for from someplace else!!!

(Hubby and I have not had a bedskirt, let alone new Master Bedroom furniture since we got married 8 1/2 years ago...)

Wish I had found this sale a few days earlier!!!!

organization as addiction

My friend and neighbor recently offered (quite sweetly) to help me organize my house. She says she loves that sort of stuff and that she should do it for a living!

This must mean I need some help! I admit, I'm not the most organized of people. I have not trained my children to be so either...

I do get the daily tip from Martha Stewart's website though and enjoy reading them. I pass them on to whoever thinks they could use some help too.

(P.S. my friend/neighbor was ironing last night at 10:30 girl scout patches for our troop... she is quoted by saying "it's addicting!" Every one's different, right?)

Can I just throw everything out and start over? That might work... not really much of a solution though. Anyone else having difficulties???

Going to her house tonight for Mexican Food, Margaritas and Movies!!! I feel more relaxed at her house than at mine! There's something to be said for clutter, cluttering up your mind too!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Make Mine Pink

I have loved this site for years (since I read about the owner in Country Living Magazine)...

Quite often they have sales from their many online stores (owned by women) on Fridays. Tomorrow's theme is Winter Whites.

Definately visit and spend some time browsing. Great stuff to be had! I should know, I've bought quite a few things in the past few years and have never been disappointed!!!

Laura Trevey has a contest!

You all know I love the beach..., seashells included!!!

It's so lovely! Go on over and check out her site... she's having a great giveaway!

Watercolors by Laura Trevey

Also, feel free to check out my cool "Blue Crab" I got from her a while back!!!



"lovin' my blue crab"

backyard gardening... good for your back?

I am growing tired of the snow and am dreaming of growing veggies instead!!!

Anyone have any ideas of some vegetable garden stuff that's easy to grow and won't kill my back weeding, pruning, etc???

Thanks! Can't wait to hear what you all come up with!

One of my many new year's resolutions is to eat better. More whole foods and less salt, preservatives, etc...

Well, I bought us a juicer!

Anyone have any favorite recipes?

I am planning a very low key Thanksgiving this year. But I realized I needed a new Roasting Pan! Now!

Just got back from the Williams-Sonoma Outlet on Long Island, NY... and got 40% off this beauty!

(Wonder if my Turkey will look this fancy...????)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

(via Brooklyn Limestone)

I keep meaning to post this follow up to my earlier article regarding Brooklyn Limestone. Remember she offers advice if you are in a "Project Pickle" or "Design Dilemma."

Her advice and interest regarding my project was/is absolutely fantastic!!!!
And I just love the way she transposed her ideas onto my photos!!!

Check her out! (Plus her own home is out of this world...)
