Cozying Up For Fall

Hello everyone! Long time no see :) We have some very early mornings as our daughter has some 8 am classes. So that means she has to leave at 7 am for her drive into Atlanta, which means we’re up before the crack of dawn. Let me just say…we are not early morning people - dog included! On those mornings my husband and I enjoy our coffee by candlelight. It’s a gentle way of waking up ... Read More about Cozying Up For Fall

Pumpkins & Pillows

Hi everyone! I thought I’d pop in to show you the pillowcover I found in my closet that I forgot I had. I think you may have too much stuff when you’re not aware of the stuff you have! We’re getting ready for our garage sale and I was going through the linens I keep in my clothes closet (cause I have nowhere else to keep them) and found this beauty that I think I bought at a sample sale. ...
