Shaking in my boots. Okay, it was more like shaking in my sneakers. ;) This morning I had the pleasure of being interviewed LIVE for the radio show, Spots and Spotlights, hosted by Lynne Ford and Bekah Shaffer. It was that "live" part that had me just a tad nervous but Lynne and Bekah are so wonderful, they quickly put me at ease. If you're here visiting for the first time, Welcome! So glad you're … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 223rd Metamorphosis Monday! Do you have a room in your home that's your absolute favorite spot to be in the early morning? My upstairs family room is that room for me. You may recognize the next 2-3 pictures since I've shared them before here on BNOTP. This room is a cheerful, bright room, but early in the morning it's truly a sunny, happy spot to be.

Each week when I take Max to Georgia Veterinary Specialist for his chemo treatment, I pass by a wonderful sculpture just outside their front entrance. I've been meaning to take my camera to capture some pics for you but unfortunately, I keep forgetting it. While there today I took a few pictures with my cellphone. They aren't the greatest but I hope you'll enjoy them. The sculpture is called, The … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 241st Tablescape Thursday! Spring is here and I couldn't wait to experiment with a summer-beach themed table setting here on the porch. I love a blue and white themed tablescape. They always feel so crisp, so fresh. This was an inexpensive table setting to create. The dishes are from a 6 place setting I've had for a few years. The set was only $19.99 … [Read more...]

Yesterday we toured the beautiful Long Island estate located in Glen Cove that was used in the filming of the 1995 version of the movie, Sabrina. During the movie, Linus Larrabee does everything he can to keep his brother David away from Sabrina who has just returned from living in Paris for an extended period. Sabrina left for Paris an awkward young girl, but she returned a beautiful, sophisticated … [Read more...]
Sabrina: Beautiful Glen Cove

I'm a total sucker for romantic comedies. Life may not always turn out the way it does in the movies, but it sure is fun to "escape" to a fantasy world where the guy always gets the girl and the girl always gets her Prince Charming, even if he is slightly flawed in the beginning. Sabrina, a 1995 remake of the Billy Wilder 1954 original with Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden, is a rom … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 222nd Metamorphosis Monday! How was your weekend? We had nice weather here and I decided it was time to get to work on priming the new screened door out of the porch. While I was priming it, I had a "uh-duh" moment. I wish it had been an "Ah-ha" moment, but unfortunately it wasn't. No, it was definitely an "uh-duh" moment. I suddenly realized in the midst of priming, there was … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 240th Tablescape Thursday! I know Easter is long gone but I couldn't resist sharing one more table setting with you created this year by my friend, Marie for her 6 grandchildren. It's over-the-top adorable. Love all the soft, pastel colors. Do you think Marie will adopt us all and make us honorary grandchildren for a just a little while? ;) Cute, cute cupcakes. Some … [Read more...]
