I know, it's the day before Valentines and I'm just getting my Valentine Buffet Vignette up! Actually it's been done for a while, but I just wasn't happy with the right hand side. Over the mirror I hung a large vintage basket lid with a white boa wreath inside, simple and cute. On left side [...]
For a long time I've looked for a chicken feeder rack to hold some of our dishes. I've found longer ones or others that where too expensive. Recently at Goodwill I spotted a metal letter holder that I thought would work great for a Letter Holder Dish Rack! It was only $1.99 and is perfect [...]
A few weeks ago our next door neighbor, Linda, had her basement windows replaced. I just happened to be walking by with Bo when a man was bringing seven windows to the dump pile. Are you throwing those windows away I asked? He looked up, and with a pretty polish accent said Yes! Can I [...]
Winter is my favorite season! Whenever I say this I get the look, your know like I'm "nuts". But I truly do love the cold weather, snow on the ground and nesting in front of the fireplace.

The centerpiece is based on top of a little metal sled. I filled in with some bottle brush trees, the [...]
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...WAIT... our stockings aren't hung by the chimney with care! Our stockings were hung on the ladder with care... Which is OK with me! This year it's been about keeping it simple and nature inspired...and a ladder could be classified as nature? One stocking was hung using [...]
Thanksgiving is in two days, and I am so far behind. Our beloved Bo has been sick once again resulting in many trips to the vets, tears and the lingering questions parents face with our older pets. He's laying at my feet as I write this post, and he is content for now. I [...]

Soon bitter cold weather will be here and the Charmer's Spring/Summer curtains.... just aren't up to the task of keeping us warm! The Charmer's windows are original [...]
