Hermes Toolbox 20 in Rose Azalee

Welcome to the 837th Metamorphosis Monday! I've been working on a post all morning, but it is taking a lot longer to write than I had expected. So how about something fun and fluffy, some eye candy for this week's Met Monday! I think this post is going to be a lot more fun than the one I was working on for today. Ha! Many years ago, while shopping in the Hermes Boutique in Atlanta, I came across a bag I really, really liked called the Toolbox. Funny name, right? … [Continue Reading...]

My January Favorites & Preparing For An Upcoming Ski Trip

I can't believe January is over and we are already a full week into February! I was thinking back today on all the things I enjoyed and was thankful for this past month and my warm mist humidifier was at the top of the list. The nights I forget to fill it up and turn it on, I really notice it the next day because I don't sleep as well and I wake up more during the night. Thankfully, I rarely forget to run it. If you find the heat running in your home dries out your … [Continue Reading...]

Beautiful, Romantic Royal Albert ‘Blossom Time’ For Valentine’s Day

Welcome to the 854th Tablescape Thursday! If you're not the biggest fan of cold weather, take heart! Once February arrives, I feel like we are over the hump and on the downhill slide toward spring now. Every winter here in the south, we'll get a week where the temps are unusually warm, and we're in it right now. It's been in the 70s all week! I know the cold will return soon, but I am loving this little break, and the birds are too. They were singing their hearts … [Continue Reading...]

7 Adorable Bunnies For Spring Decorating, Mother’s Day & Baby Shower Gifts

Last week I shared a fun table setting that included adorable bunny cupcake/dessert holders found in Pottery Barn several years back. I remember seeing similar stands somewhere else just a few years later, but couldn't remember where. Thanks to Sheri for jogging my memory!   In an e-mail, Sheri shared this cute bunny dessert stand she found a few days ago. I think it's slightly larger than the cupcake stands I found in PB, so it would easily hold a larger … [Continue Reading...]

Out With Old, In With New! Such A Huge Improvement!

Welcome to the 836th Metamorphosis Monday! When I first moved into the Dollhouse, there was a lot of neglected maintenance that needed to be done. One of the first things I dealt with was replacing the garage door opener. The previous owners had never used the garage to house their cars during the two years they lived in the home. Since they moved frequently due to their career, they opted to use the garage for storage. In this photo below taken by the home … [Continue Reading...]

A Whimsical Alice In Wonderland Dinner Party

Alice in Wonderland Table Setting, White Rabbit Theme

Welcome to the 853rd Tablescape Thursday! Since I brought my wicker breakfast table up to the Dollhouse a few months ago...   ...I no longer have a table in my breakfast room here in Georgia. So until spring arrives, you'll probably be seeing a lot of tables here in the dining room. That's a big change since I normally set tables in my breakfast room or on the porch where I get a lot more natural lighting. We will persevere though, right?! … [Continue Reading...]

A Small Office Update That’s Had A Big Impact

Home Office Desk Update

Welcome to the 835th Metamorphosis Monday! I have a simple Before and After this week, but it's an important one. Back around August of 2022, I purchased a new desk chair for my home office/studio.   This chair has been great and is super comfortable. I've really enjoyed it! (Chair is available in 3 colors here: Comfy Desk Chair.)   Off and on over the past few months, I started having an issue with the wheels not working quite right. The wheel … [Continue Reading...]

Catching Up: Thought These Were Worth Sharing Before I Delete Them

From time to time, I'll take photos of things that I think you would enjoy seeing, but they don't always fit into a post. Last night I was going through photos and came across quite a few pictures that I thought I'd share before I delete them. So here's a somewhat random collection of fun and interesting things that I hope you'll enjoy! This past summer, while walking around in my front yard, I looked up and saw this massive spider web! Do you see it … [Continue Reading...]
