Thanksgiving Dinner

A truly homemade Thanksgiving dinner: green bean casserole from scratch (no canned soup here!), my own recipe for apple & sausage stuffing, sweet potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes with mom's gravy, cranberry sauce (recipe from the trusted Spice Cookbook), and a beautiful free range local organic turkey cooked to perfection by Michael. So thankful for sharing it with my loved ones, and having fun: walks in the snow at night, many monopoly card games, and listening to Alice's Restaurant!

Vintage Fabric

I love the yearly ritual of pulling out my Spring and Summer clothing, as the weather warms. Here are some details of new-to-me but quite old pieces my dearest friend, Carol, gave to me.

Apron | Cookies

Thank you, Jeanne! I love the apron. I used it just the other day to make whole wheat almond butter cookies!

5 Year Anniversary!

In November of 2009, I tentatively started this blog. These past five years have been a wonderful journey. Thank you all for checking in. I love sharing my photos of light, love, food, drinks, trinkets, collections, art, travel and more. I hope you continue to stop by and leave me a note or two.
