Large Pet Travel Carrier For Cats Or Small Dogs
I was a bit apprehensive whenever I thought about the prospect of traveling with Beatrice and Agatha for 8-9 hours in a car. We were supposed to leave on Friday for our trip to Georgia, but I didn't sleep well the night before, and I awoke super tired. Plus, the wind was insane that day, and the idea of fighting that wind for hours convinced me to wait a day. On Saturday, I placed the kitties in the travel carrier I've been using for vet visits. They have grown a … [Continue Reading...]
Exploring Kittens & I Can’t Get Enough Of This Book Series
Welcome to the 894th Metamorphosis Monday! Oh my gosh, it's so good to be back in Georgia! I missed the daffodil blooms; they are completely done, not even a single flower is left. Even the Redbuds are finished. I did see some Redbuds blooming en route home, along with what appeared to be Bradford Pears that were already almost fully leafed out. The kittens have adjusted beautifully to their new digs! I thought they would, since they love exploring new places in … [Continue Reading...]
New Furnture For the Breakfast Room In Georgia
Back when I first moved into the Dollhouse almost two years ago, I was seriously thinking of ordering this table from Rooms To Go. It felt just right for a cottage-style home, and I thought it would be perfect for the dining room. I also loved that I could someday have the back and seats reupholstered in a beautiful fabric to coordinate with whatever drapes/curtains I would eventually add to that space. I really like how this table has worked out in … [Continue Reading...]
12 St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Tables & How’s The Great Pollinating Going?
Welcome to the 911th Tablescape Thursday! I am headed back to Georgia tomorrow. I bet the pollen is crazy there! This weekend I'll be working on cleaning the porches and setting a table for next week's Tablescape Thursday, hopefully out on the porch. I wonder if the trees have leafed out in the Atlanta area yet? Any metro-Atlantaians reading this post who can tell me how the "Great Pollinating" is going in the Atlanta area right now? I need to steel myself for what … [Continue Reading...]

Easiest & Fastest Way To Preserve A Puzzle For Framing Without Using Messy Glue
Welcome to the 893rd Metamorphosis Monday! Many years ago, when I first started doing puzzles, there were a few puzzles that I really wanted to save for possibly framing later. All the methods I came across online for saving a puzzle for framing involved smearing glue over the surface of the puzzle. In the videos I watched sharing this method, it was always mentioned that the glue would alter the look of the puzzle a little. I didn't like that. I wanted my … [Continue Reading...]

Spring—Summer Finds For The Table, So Many Cute Designs At Reasonable Prices!
Welcome to the 910th Tablescape Thursday! This has been a busy week as I'm caring for my grandsons while their parents are vacationing with friends in a tropical location. I'm doing all the mom things again, making sure they have what they need for school each morning, and dropping them off on these rainy days. Unfortunately, it's been raining almost constantly this week. I am so over rain! Doesn't this photo shared with me by my daughter-in-law make you crave a … [Continue Reading...]
So Many Beautiful Old Homes—Let’s Go For A Drive!
It's been a long time since we went on a neighborhood home tour. The community in which I live has a tremendous variety of home styles, which is one of the things I love about this area. I wonder if back in the day (90-100+ years ago) if the neighborhood covenants here dictated that your home could not be too similar to another one in the community, or if that was just an understood rule. In any case, I love how very different all the homes are. Let's start our tour … [Continue Reading...]
Training Cats To Wear A Harness/Leash & A Toy I Will Never Buy Again
Welcome to the 892nd Metamorphosis Monday! Have you ever tried to walk a cat on a leash? I've always wanted to try this, especially after seeing cats doing this on social media. Last week, I ordered a harness and leash in the extra-small size for Agatha and Beatrice to see how they would take to this idea. Before I share photos of how that went, I want to share a warning about a cat toy I will never purchase again. A few months back, I purchased several cat … [Continue Reading...]
