I love jewelry organizers. I’ve written about them before. Anything that helps keep earrings from winding up in one big tangled pile is a good thing. Check this out. What was once an inn...
This is the back side of the house where I live with my beloved and our four little pookie bears. The siding on the left—the more weathered gray wood—has been on the house for ages and ag...
My Home and Garden section makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? Last week I wrote about a missing floor in an old building we’re working on. Monday I posted about what’s growing in my r...
I thought I’d show you what’s growing in the raised beds nearest my house. This spring has been wet and cool and glorious, and life is busting out all over. My “main” garden i...
Marlboro Man, our kids, my mother-in-law, and I met at The Building a couple of hours ago to discuss what approach to take with the windows. I wouldn’t dream of making an important decision abo...
This is The Building a long, long, long, long time ago. Sigh. I love this photo. This is the building now. This is the inside of the building before. It was ...
I just returned home from a trip, and as I passed through our small town, I stopped to snap these photos of the outside of The Building. If you missed the post about The Building a couple of weeks ag...
You never know when you’re going to find something fun, new, and (evidently) irresistible. I saw these at a little hotel shop in Phoenix and they forced me to buy them. Can you tell what they a...
The winners of the Cuisinarts are: #197 Becky L: “It was this afternoon on cable and I just love this old movie, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof! Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor are great together!̶...
I posted about Blue Q quite a long time ago, but I continue to love and adore their lightweight tote bags and zipper pouches of various sizes. They’re made from 95% post-consumer material, whic...
The winners of the Vintage Pearl giveaway are: #164 joybles: “I’d probably be shelfish and keep it for myself.” #2229 Karen: “Oh, they’re beautiful. If I win one, it’ll be for me wi...
Marlboro Man and I are fixing up a building—a very old building in our small town. We’re calling it The Building, because we’re really creative with names! The ...
I absolutely love this line of jewelry by Sweet Auburn Studio. Great colors, great styles. Very sweet and pretty! Pearl and Brass Bee Earrings. Small and understated, but great personality! &n...
I’m in love with these unquestionably feminine and awesomely cute caps from Cowgirl Swank. This is our ranch brand in jewels on the canvas-and-hide cap. I absolutely love it. &nbs...
I received this beautiful vintage flatware as a gift recently (thank you, Emm!) which was plenty exciting for me considering vintage flatware makes my soul soar. But then I looke...
After the girls’ room was fixed up last fall, it whetted my appetite for giving the rest of the upstairs a face lift. A few months ago, Layla and I decided to tackle it together. In other words...
I love birds, and I’m charmed (pun intended) by this lovely hand-formed silver bird pendant by By Twilight Jewelry. It’s simple and beautiful, and especially lovely since two hands made i...
My sister Betsy gave me this adjustable rolling pin for my birthday in January…and I’m only just now pulling it out of its box and getting a chance to use it. I’m speedy that way! &...
I’ve been falling down on the job with my Hotel Room Tour feature. This is because lately, when I’ve entered hotel rooms I’ve stayed in, I’ve made a beeline for the bed, plopp...
The winners of the orange mixers are: #9524 Linda: “I really enjoy Big Bang Theory!” #14440 Julie H: “Love me some How I Met Your Mother!” #18574 Savored Life: “Sons of ...
The winner of the Jane boots is… #2031 Mariel W. “Definitely Spring Forward, even though I was completely exhausted yesterday and in bed by 9:30 (daylight savings time)!” Congrats, ...
I saw these on Etsy this morning. They’re vintage and sweet and lovely. Pink floral linen and lace laptop case. I can think of a few horse-loving girls in my family who would flip over t...
I’m in love with this Etsy shop that offers not just beautiful vintage-style jewelry, but sells in multiples for bridesmaids/wedding parties. Oh, to be a bride in 2012. Here are some things tha...
The last full day of our vacation, the kids went skiing while Marlboro Man and I walked around Vail Village. We poked our heads in and out of hotels, shops, and restaurants, just to get a feel for ev...
We’re staying in a condo in Vail, which has worked out better than everyone having several separate hotel rooms. This way, we can all congregate and vege out together, and we can order takeout ...
Joy the Baker has always been one of my favorite bloggers…and one of my favorite people. Because of that, today is a very exciting day. Today, Joy’s cookbook is out! ...
If you live in northeastern Oklahoma—or if you ever happen to be driving through there on your way to somewhere else—there’s a shop called Mock Brother’s Saddlery that’s...
On a cool afternoon last December, Marlboro Man and I found ourselves in the big city doing some Christmas shopping for our girls. As we were browsing through Anthropologie, I nearly fell over when I...
I have…this friend. Every winter, this friend is afflicted with itchy calves and shins. Not hands, not arms, not the body…just the lower part of her legs. The itching is very uncomfortabl...
I absolutely love these earrings. Wire-wrapped studs with crystals all wrapped up in the mix. They’re totally lovely. Indigo Wire Wrapped Signature Studs. Beautiful. ...
