I cannot believe that tomorrow is December 1, and yet we’re slated to (possibly) get a winter storm tomorrow. Hope that it’s just a bit too warm for ice. My sister is getting married tomorrow, and I would like to get to the ceremony/reception and back safely, thank you very much. We shall see what [...]

I’m beginning to realize where my “found” four hours each week (not watching Jon or Stephen due to the writers’ strike) are going. They’re going to blog reading. I keep coming across new ones that pique my interest, and then I have to keep up with their daily postings. It goes in cycles. For a [...]

You can’t miss them: ’tis the season for gift guides. I love them, but the more I read, the longer the “Things I Want” list becomes, instead of the sensible “That would make a great gift for X” which would actually be getting me somewhere. For example, have you seen:

This is quickly turning into the week about food. But I’ll start with something healthy. While we were grocery shopping this weekend, I saw the first Satsumas of the year displayed. I scooped some up, and took a picture this morning of my last one (quickly, because I wanted to eat it). They were sweet, [...]

photo by Roger Foley for Cottage Living Sometimes, while I wait for the USPS to deliver my magazines, I preview them online. For example, I learned that Cottage Living’s December issue features a cute snowball windowbox project. (see photo above) Doesn’t that look cozy? I wish that I had installed a windowbox this year on [...]

Well, it was another busy weekend, with no end in sight. Friday night, we ventured into the city to attend Emily’s Open Studio night. (This is the best photo I took. Of course it is of the food.) It was great to finally meet Emily – we’ve been talking over the blogosphere for awhile now. [...]

Hello again! I was reading Emily’s guest blog post about business cards (well, that wasn’t exactly the theme, but it’s what I focused on) because I am geekily in love with cool business cards. My son will even pick them up for me in a shop, restaurant, wherever. It’s cute, especially when we’re somewhere like, [...]
