Flowers can help to heal

This picture is a beautiful flower arrangement I spotted on Instagram. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.  But, I believe this picture is almost indescribable in the way it makes me feel.  Find your inspiration in nature and let it make your heart heal.  We all need to find beauty in simple things… Continue reading Flowers can help to heal

Folly 101

I have a favorite shop in every town I have lived in or visited. In Portland, Maine, Folly 101 is my choice—the home decor store with impeccable displays. When you walk into a shop and have an immediate connection with the style, it makes your experience fabulous. The best aspect of Folly 101 is that… Continue reading Folly 101

How to be a Wildflower

The book How to be a Wildflower is called “a field guide” by the author Katie Daisy. Katie is wise to know we need nature to help us connect with all our senses. She brings us back to when we looked at the world with wonder, when the wind blowing through the trees made us… Continue reading How to be a Wildflower

Frank’s Fine Art

Frank’s Fine Arts is the art gallery you would see in any major city, but this gallery is in Littleton, NC. The difference between Frank’s Fine Arts and big city galleries is the relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere. Olivia, one of the owners, was not pretentious. She was easy to talk to and took her time to… Continue reading Frank’s Fine Art

Reclaim Your Domain

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer. It’s over. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas and decorating for the holidays. It does bring joy (good cheer), but so does getting your house back in order after the festivities. I wait until New Year’s Day to drink heavily and climb a ladder to take off the… Continue reading Reclaim Your Domain

Christmas Decor

Go ahead, get out the tree, decorate it, and leave me in the dust. I can’t put away my Fall Decorations until the day after Thanksgiving. I have spent too much money and time collecting fall accessories. The orange candles are not even burnt halfway down. Christmas is a teasing holiday because of the displays… Continue reading Christmas Decor

Nurtured Notion

Where do you find your fall style? I like to explore local shops for decor ideas and purchases to enhance the look of my home. I must see it in person to know if the size, color, and price are right for me. I feel lucky because Williamsburg has the perfect shop called the Nurtured… Continue reading Nurtured Notion

Fall Indoor Decor

Last week I talked about Mums, and now it is time to make a hot cider and begin the indoor decor. I have one cabinet with all my fall and Halloween decorations. I have scaled down as I have moved from state to state. Moving helps control my holiday spending habits. I always start by… Continue reading Fall Indoor Decor

Mum’s the word, I mean plant.

Time to get your Mum plants! Mums are so popular because they are easy to grow and provide a variety of colors. I love to drive by homes that have created their porch decor with mums as the centerpiece. With the fall, change comes in many ways, chillier temperatures, shorter days, and trips to the… Continue reading Mum’s the word, I mean plant.
