A Bunny-Themed Table Setting for Spring
Welcome to the 613th Tablescape Thursday! It's been a minute since I set a table here on the porch. Hope you enjoy this springtime table with a bit of a bunny theme. I've encluded a lot of photos for those who enjoy that. Happy Spring to you! I found these adorable bunny planters in HomeGoods in early spring. I had planned to use them in a table earlier in the spring but those plans were changed when I … [Continue Reading...]
A Low-Cal Indulgence, A New Floor Lamp for My Bedroom & Puzzles are Back!
Working on a table setting for tomorrow's Tablescape Thursday, but thought I'd pop in with a few goodies and ideas I've been wanting to share ever since I arrived back home. One of the first things I needed to do upon my return was head to the grocery store to stock up on a few things. If you've been reading BNOTP for a bit, you may know I'm not the biggest fan of hot coffee, but I do love iced coffee, especially when the weather turns warmer. On a whim, I … [Continue Reading...]
This is What Happens to a Porch When You Abandon it for 3 Months! It Ain’t Pretty!
Welcome to the 594th Metamorphosis Monday! It was a long drive back home, but it actually passed quickly as I listened to the book, My Friend, Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress, via Audible. I think the book is going to be made into a movie. Actually, it would probably make a better movie than it did a book--the book definitely drags at times where I think the movie would be pretty action-packed. Every now and then during the drive back home, thoughts of … [Continue Reading...]

For today's Tablescape Thursday, I'm sharing three summery tables for two. Tables … [Continue Reading...]

During the first part of June, it's Birthday Central here at my son's home.

How I Remove Dirt & Scuff Marks from the Corners of My Leather Handbags & Boots
Welcome to the 593rd Metamorphosis Monday! It has been Birthday Central here this past week.

My Favorite Bag Organizer and One So Poorly Made, I Will Never Buy It Again
Welcome to the 592nd Metamorphosis Monday! A well-designed, well-made bag organizer or bag insert can be one of the best purchases you'll ever make to protect and support your favorite handbag, but a poorly designed or constructed organizer can actually do more harm than good, damaging or warping the shape of your bag. Today I'm sharing my favorite places to shop for bag organizers and one organizer I will never purchase again. Over the past few years, I've … [Continue Reading...]
Buying ALLLL the Dresses! Obsessed with These Great-Fitting Styles!
Last week I mentioned that Lilly Pulitzer had come out with a line of dresses that was figure-flattering for all body types and surprisingly budget-friendly. I'm not sure if this is the first year these have been available or just the first year I've noticed. I think it's the first year they've had them available because I'm obsessed with their fun summer prints and often check their site during the summer. You may remember that I ordered this … [Continue Reading...]
