Hello, Today I present you with a song. It's not a "final mix", as we say in the music business, but it's fine to share here. This song, written and performed by me (vocal, guitar, piano)- is being given to a music library. I will always be the writer however,...

Oh. Gosh. I have a few special posts happening today and tomorrow. First things are first. I didn't know when I would be able to post these most magnificent finds as they have been getting worked on for a number of weeks..... I have been looking for matching vintage twin...

We took it easy this weekend. Very warm weather. The girls and I napped and went to bed early and woke up later than usual. I made cornbread, strawberry compote and homemade laundry detergent (which works amazingly well.) At the farmers market, I bought the last bit of lettuce I...

it's my style. scarves for curtains and vintage muffin tins for art (a work in progress on a kitchen wall.) an antique gravy server to hold the little bit of makeup I wear (found and free object.) what do you call it? bohemain thrift? flea market flair? whatever you call...

Darlings! I didn't think I'd have time yesterday. But things got shifted around and I had time to do nothing but take care of kids and be in the kitchen!! Last week was a "bad food week." Have you had one? You know, life is moving too fast and your...

Wrote a post and it got erased. That's how my day is going. But hey...I harvested 15 snap peas today. Whooo hoo!!!! Also, a whole heap of beautiful lettuce. So...I'm pretty happy about that. Plus I had a great little someone who was helping me water. She likes to water...

Giving. It's such a nice thing to do. Especially when you're giving in a way that benefits the earth- by giving second-hand treasures! I've been blessed the past few weeks with some lovely gifts. The vintage plates are from my mom. 6 of them. I love the pink! My first...
