Folks, the color pink still dominates my thoughts these days…so you will see it infiltrated in various parts of this post. I also wanted to share a few other things that some refer to as “digging it” or “drooling over” I’m calling it “what I Fancy”! So, without further ado…. What I Fancy these days….other…
Fiesta Time! Cinco de Mayo! Ole! Can you believe that May 5 will soon be here before you know it? We have the Kentucky Derby on May 4th and then right into another entertaining day and tablescape. I love Mexican food. Yes, I am getting a head start on Cinco de Mayo. I posted…
I have a confession to make. I love a pretty cookie jar, and I particularly love a pretty cookie jar for a seasonal vignette. Like this adorable Easter egg cookie jar. Look! The little pink bird is wanting a cookie too! Please excuse the photo as it was getting dark when I took these photos….

Raindrops and Sunflowers! I am seeing more and more signs of Spring, but a very slow ease into it around the country.

Yes, the above photo is sunset on our beaches! I know some of you are still staring at snow, perhaps this will put you in the pink. My dear readers, I have something to share with you…it is a recipe for a tea that will make you sit back and smile. You know I love…
“Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat”! Peter, Paul and Mary sang those words many moons ago …in spite of the lyrics…., I can’t help but love lemons! I love the fresh scent of lemons, don’t you? I love the wedge of lemon in…
How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways! I AM a romantic, you know that about me. AND I absolutely love Valentine’s Day. Last year, I put together this little Valentine’s Day vignette and I wanted to share it again with you…hopefully for inspiration. It doesn’t take much to get your…
The last few mornings….it has been cold! In fact, when I went out to get the morning paper, I could see my breath. Have you ever wondered where that little puff of steam goes? I mean, it rises into the air and sometimes….. …….I wonder, of all things, where is it going and will it…
