A Little Off Kilter
Sort of off kilter this week. I had a little skin cancer surgery. The doctor told me that I was having a mini face lift in order to pull it all back to together. Of course that would only be on one side!! Not to worry, it will be down to its usually droopy self [...]

Mother’s Day Tablescape
I’m very happy to make my Mother’s Day tablescape in honor of my mother. She has been gone now 25 years, but I can still hear her voice and see her smile. My mother was extraordinary. Her life was devoted to her family. She always tried to make things special for each of her children [...]

These Things Make me Smile
