Well, I could wander around here all day. Many times I have. There is something about floor to warehouse ceiling stack of bolts and bolts of fabric that calms me. For awhile ~ until I start buzzing with ideas. While wandering this maze of isles I find inspiration. The inspiration to build ideas, tablecloths, curtains and pillows. The more projects I think of the more I start to giggle. I'm giddy now, high on ribbons and remnants and linens. There are plans for pillows and … [Read more...]

Last Friday Kristin wrote about some sweet summer days she wants to treasure. Now that summer is officially here (our last day of school was yesterday) it's my turn to do my summer bucket list.

It was the first time I had hiked to the very top of anything. We hiked side by side towards our goal and at the end of our journey it was beautiful to look back on where … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday~Summer Bucket List

Kristin's List~ The term "Life is a bowl full of cherries" came out in 1931 during the Depression. It was a cheery, simple way to say, "Keep your chin up". The past two years has been tough for many.

My oldest son took my daughter for a bike ride. He took her to a favorite spot that has a cherry tree. They picked a bag full … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday~Summer Cocktail

It's that time of year again. It's the time when we "theme" our summer. Part of "themeing" our summer, is adding a summer cocktail to the mix. It's a tradition that began in Italy and it is a part of how we roll. There's something about summer that ushers in a chance to revitalize, re-envision and rest. Sure we know that the summer brings kids running through the house all day long, prepping pool bags and packing countless snacks for the day and trying to keep everyone from being bored. Part of our strategy is the … [Read more...]
