Linked below you'll find beautiful enticing chocolates from Godiva and some delicious-looking chocolate-covered strawberries. Yum!

My January Favorites & Preparing For An Upcoming Ski Trip
February 7, 2025 by 15 Comments
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 … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
A Whimsical Alice In Wonderland Dinner Party

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 … [Read more...]

A Small Office Update That’s Had A Big Impact
January 27, 2025 by 17 Comments
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 … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]
A Cozy, Winter, Candlelit Table Setting
January 23, 2025 by 31 Comments
Welcome to the 852nd Tablescape Thursday! I started out planning to set a Valentine's Day table, but as I worked on various ideas, I realized I was missing some of the things I needed. Where are those things? In Ohio. Argh! I thought I had brought back all the things I would need for a Valentine's Day table, but that was not the case. The white swirl chargers and the cream, lace/cut-work chargers that I … [Read more...]
