2 Of My Favorite Shops Are Having A Sale-On-Sale & I’m Loving The Deals!
It's that time of year when the winter sales really swing into gear!

Those are my favorite types of sales, although usually, the most popular sizes tend to go quickly when the prices are so reduced. One item that's currently on sale is this mock turtleneck that I've shared after buying it in every color possible. … [Continue Reading...]

Would You Have The Nerve To Do This? Yikes!

A Woodland Table To Cozy Up To On This Cold January Day
Welcome to the 798th Tablescape Thursday! The sun had been shining so beautifully into the breakfast room all day, but just as I finished setting this table, it began to move away.

That, along with keeping the wick trimmed to a normal height, is "supposed" to prevent it from creating a well in the center as it … [Continue Reading...]

Welcome to the 797th Tablescape Thursday! Happy New Year! I hope your 2024 is off to a great start! Unfortunately, mine started out with a yucky cold.
