My dear readers, this post about August, is the eighth in the series of the months of the year that I started at the beginning of the year. You see, I have been assigning genders to each month and perhaps you might ask why! Well, because I am a dreamer, a romantic, and I love…
Link Party! If it is Monday…well, you know the phrase….It is Celebrate Your Story time! It is hard to believe that the 4th of July is only 3 days away.

The question does not have to be asked…you know the one. The one where someone says how did it get to be Memorial Day already. Let’s face it folks. As we get older, the days fly by…much faster than when we were kids and couldn’t wait for holidays to show up. To me, as a…
You know I LOVE styling and setting a tablescape….and a few days ago, I decided to bring out my blue and white color palette! Blue and white has been around for years and years and proof of that is my Blue Willow Dinnerware, among many, many other patterns. I adore my blue willow dinnerware and…
