Sign up for email updates HERE and whenever I post, you'll get an update in your email Inbox letting you know a new post is up.

Taking All the Stress Out of Halloween Night
If you live where you have a lot of Trick-or-Treaters stopping by on Halloween night, you know how hectic it can sometimes be. I'm like a Jack-in-Box on Halloween evening, popping up every minute or two to answer the door. I love seeing the little ones in their costumes. Halloween and Trick-or-Treating with friends is one of my fondest childhood memories. Back then, we didn't buy fancy costumes, we wore whatever we could create or put together from things we had … [Continue Reading...]
Come Into My Parlour, Said the Spider to the Fly
Welcome to the 664th Metamorphosis Monday! Okay, I may have paraphrased that first line of the poem, The Spider and the Fly, just a little. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to position all these legs! This was a bit of a dress rehearsal for Halloween night. Would you brave these creepy crawlers and trick or treat at this house on Halloween night? I may add another spider or two. It would be fun to have one climbing down the pediment … [Continue Reading...]
Advent Calendars for the Tea, Coffee, Chocolate & Wine Lover
A couple of days ago I shared some of my favorite Advent Calendars that have just come out for the holiday season. Most of the ones I shared in that previous post were beauty-themed, although there were a few surprises like this over-the-top beautiful Wedgwood Advent Calendar. If you missed that previous post, you'll find it here: They are Here! The Most Beautiful Advent Calendars of the Season. Today I'm sharing Advent Calendars that were designed … [Continue Reading...]
They Are Here! The Most Beautiful Advent Calendars of the Season!
Last year I put together a list of some of my favorite Advent Calendars but unfortunately, many of the ones I had wanted to share were already sold out. Every year they go quickly! In August when I shared a post about a book I was purchasing and a few gift ideas I had for Christmas, Barbara kindly left this comment on that post. Thanks so much for the reminder, Barbara! I'm getting this post out early this year to beat the rush and while the Calendars are all still … [Continue Reading...]
Double the Autumn Beauty and Color for This Week’s Tablescape Thursday!
Welcome to 681st Tablescape Thursday! I have two wonderful autumn treasures to share with you for this week's Tablescape Thursday. Sheri has set a beautiful table setting for fall. Sheri said, "I have my house ready for the fall and wanted to share some photos with you." Sheri's tablecloth for this fall table goes with her lovely Heartland dinnerware. She paired this Heartland pattern with autumn leaf plates, a find in Dollar Tree. I need to … [Continue Reading...]
It’s 1921! Let’s Shop the Newest Fashions: Silk-Taffeta Dresses, Oxford Boots & Floral Straw Hats
How about another trip in my time machine? This time we're headed back to January 1921 to check out the news, the movies that are playing at the Capitol Theater, what's on sale at the Piggly Wiggly, and how much the latest styles in hats and shoes will set us back. Actually, some of the prices are a bit higher than I expected. You may remember a few weeks ago I shared this unique end table in my upstairs living room/bonus room. In case you missed that post, this … [Continue Reading...]
Finally Sharing All Those Photos, Ideas and Tips That I’ve Been Saving
Welcome to the 663rd Metamorphosis Monday! Throughout the year, I'm always taking photos of things that I want to share with you that I think you'll enjoy. I've been going through photos this morning, and I thought it would be fun to share an assortment of random pictures and ideas for this week's Met Monday, especially since one of two of these are Before/After ideas. Hope you enjoy! During one of my visits to Ohio a year or two ago, I was driving through one … [Continue Reading...]
I Had My Car Windows Tinted: Here’s How They Look & How Much It Costs
Have you ever had your car windows tinted? I have never had that done with any car that I've owned, but I decided to do that with the car I purchased recently. My main goal in having the two front windows tinted was to get some of the sun that streams in through the windows off of my arms. That's the one part of my body that I think has suffered sun damage over the years. As with most things we do to our homes and cars, there's always the "exploring and learning" … [Continue Reading...]
Celebrating October with a Colorful Halloween Table Setting
Welcome to 680th Tablescape Thursday! It's been raining for days and days, but it's been so warm it didn't stop me from setting a table here on the porch this week. It still looks like summer in my Georgia backyard. Are you starting to see some fall color in your area? Last March, I found these candle holders in Marshalls and could totally see them in a future Halloween table. They kinda looked like big, … [Continue Reading...]
