Amazing Deal On Ring Camera Floodlight-Includes Installation! Plus, A Smart Birdfeeder!
Welcome to the 899th Metamorphosis Monday Party! Happy new week to you! I have a variety of goodies to share today, but first on the list is this amazing blackened salmon sandwich I had while dining in the Big Canoe Clubhouse on Saturday. If you ever have the chance to eat there, you will not be disappointed. This sandwich was so good, I was very tempted to order a second to take home to enjoy the following day. I'm serious, it was that good! It's a good thing I … [Continue Reading...]
Going Back To Big Canoe: A Brief Tour Of Their Newly Renovated Clubhouse
One of my favorite places to visit in north Georgia is Big Canoe. This mountain community is nestled in the foothills of the North Georgia Appalachian Mountains and is so picturesque and peaceful. I've rented a home there a few times now—once when the floors were being refinished in the downstairs part of my home... ...and in June of 2024, to see what it would be like to live in a home located way up high on one of the … [Continue Reading...]
Beautiful Spring-Easter Table Setting With A Lovely “Floral Meadow” Tablecloth & Dinnerware
Welcome to the 916th Tablescape Thursday! I have a beautiful spring table to share with you today! This table had me searching online for tablecloths this morning, and I'm not one to use tablecloths that often, but oh my goodness, everything on Brenda's Easter/Spring table is stunning! As you enjoy this beautiful table, if you fall in love with the tablecloth as I did, sadly, I don't think it's still available. It appears to have been from Williams … [Continue Reading...]
Spring Refresh: These Are My Fave Cleaning Products That I Buy Over & Over Again
If you saw yesterday's post, you know the ceiling in my garage just got a big update, an update that was necessary to stop an ongoing issue with the paint peeling away. There was a lot, and I do mean A LOT of sanding that went on, so the garage windows were a mess! Actually, once I started cleaning, I found they were dirtier on the outside than they were on the inside. I pulled out my favorite window cleaner and got to work. They look so clean and … [Continue Reading...]
A Garage Ceiling Makeover: From A Busy Stamped Print To Nice And Smooth
Welcome to the 898th Metamorphosis Monday Party! In July 2022, this is how my garage looked. My home was 40 years old at that point, and the garage had never been repainted. It still had the same builder-grade lighting, and the concrete flooring was stained from 40 years of cars being housed here. It wasn't a bad garage, but I knew it could be greatly improved. During July and August of that year, the garage saw a big upgrade with new paint, much … [Continue Reading...]
My March Favorites + An Awesome Sale-On-Sale…Love Those!
Happy weekend! I hope you're having a great one! I only have a few March favorites to share, but I think you'll like some of the beautiful pieces I found that are currently on sale. I had looked for ages for a dispenser that could handle dispensing really thick lotions like Cutemol. I found one that worked okay, but the thingymajig that sucks the lotion up didn't go deep enough into the container. I'm not sure how I stumbled across these nifty vacuum dispensers, … [Continue Reading...]
A Whimsical, Penguin-Themed Party For A Very Special 82nd Birthday Celebration
Welcome to the 915th Tablescape Thursday! Sheri, a lovely BNOTP reader, recently shared the cutest birthday celebration table setting with me. This was a big birthday milestone as her hubby had just turned 82! Sheri said, "We finally had Mike’s birthday dinner, delayed due to snow and work schedules. The theme was penguins, as Mike has always been identified with penguins since being stationed in Antarctica during his time as a Navy Seabee." Sheri … [Continue Reading...]
Homeownership: It’s Not For Weenies
When I returned from Ohio, I got a big surprise, and not the good kind. When I looked out a window, I could see a large board lying on the ground in the backyard. What is that‽ I went outside, looked up, and this was what I saw. When the porch and decks were built 16 years ago, at my request, my contractor pulled the necessary permits before he began work, so everything was built to code. So why would this happen? I think I'm going … [Continue Reading...]
Almost A Cat-astrophe & The Addition of Two Ring Security Floodlights
Welcome to the 897th Metamorphosis Monday! Happy Monday to you! It's another beautiful spring day here in Georgia, love this time of year so much! We finally got a little bit of rain, which seems to have settled the pollen down a little. The electricians were here this past Friday to install the new fans I had ordered to replace the existing fans that, after 16 years of service here on the porch, have become badly rusted. Unfortunately, they weren't able to install … [Continue Reading...]
Spring Fashions, Great Sale, My Go-to Sandals & What Does This Bag Remind You Of?
I love shopping for clothes this time of year; the colors are so happy and pretty! Before I share some of my favorite spring fashions, an awesome sale, and my go-to summer sandals. If you're a Louis Vuitton handbag fan, I found a bag yesterday that made me do a double take! I have always loved the look of LV's wicker Capucines bag, but they are almost impossible to find since LV doesn't offer them every spring, and when they do, they always sell out within the first … [Continue Reading...]
