It is finally starting to feel like spring here. I am loving these warmer temps! The garden here at the Dollhouse is fully awake now, so I thought I'd share what plants/flowers survived the past two years of 3-foot tall weeds and neglect that it experienced. You may remember when I shared these Lenton Roses earlier in the spring. Thanks for your help in identifying these! Before we visit … [Read more...]

May 15, 2025 by 7 Comments
Welcome to the 868th Tablescape Thursday! With Father's Day only a month away, for this week's Tablescape Thursday, I'm sharing a few tables from the past that I hope will offer a little inspiration for your Father's Day tables. Some of these tables were created during the autumn, so please ignore the fall decor. Minus the fall decor, I think several of these themed tables would work for the dad who enjoys … [Read more...]
Trying Faux Flowers In My Window Boxes for Summer—Love How They Look!
May 14, 2025 by 61 Comments
I moved into the Dollhouse in mid-June of last year. A few days after moving in, I discovered the house had two window boxes: one outside an upstairs bedroom window, and one outside the front window of the dining room. Initially, I had no idea they were there because they were completely hidden by a Crabapple tree that covered that entire side of the house, blocking the walkway to the front door. Instead of … [Read more...]

Talbots is having an awesome sale and I can't think of when I've seen so many things that I'd love to add to my wardrobe for summer!

My April Favorites, Including Cherished Old Loves
May 9, 2025 by 7 Comments
When I share my favorites each month, I normally share those favorites that are recent purchases. My sun necklace is not a recent purchase, but one I've been wearing so much lately. This necklace came in two sizes, and initially, I purchased it in its smaller size. Later I regretted not getting it in the larger size, so a few years ago, when I discovered it was finally back in stock again, I sold my smaller … [Read more...]

May 8, 2025 by 11 Comments
Welcome to the 867th Tablescape Thursday! I am still playing catch-up with the Dollhouse, having maintenance-type stuff done that hasn't been done in several years. Today, the exterior of the house is being cleaned, including the roof. You may remember when I had the roof cleaned on the Georgia house and shared it in this post: Finally Did It—Had The Roof Cleaned! What Do You Think? While that's taking … [Read more...]
Let’s All Go To The Lobby To Get Ourselves A Treat!
May 7, 2025 by 24 Comments
One more goody has arrived for the movie room that I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. The popcorn machine arrived, and it's so dang cute! It was a bit more challenging to put together than some of the items I've assembled over the years, but that was mostly due to the teeny, tiny images in the instruction booklet. I am super nearsighted, so I always take off my glasses to … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 849th Metamorphosis Monday! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Over the past few days, I've been working on completing the last of the projects here in the Dollhouse basement. I'm very close now to reaching the point where I feel like the room is done—it just needs a couple of more additions. You may recall from a recent post that the room has looked like this for around 8-9 … [Read more...]
Beautiful Table Setting Filled With Inherited And Vintage Collectibles
May 1, 2025 by 10 Comments
Welcome to the 866th Tablescape Thursday! A few weeks ago, Elena created a beautiful table setting for her family, using a lovely mix of newer pieces combined with treasured antique and vintage family pieces. Elena described her table as having a bit of an Asian theme since so many of these special pieces that have been handed down through her family are from Japan. Elena … [Read more...]
