>…in body only. My heart and mind are still in MAINE! David and I spent an indescribably wonderful week there and I will have pictures posted soon. Happy Tuesday!

> I’ll be gone for a little while, but I’ll be back…with pictures! Have a happy week! (don’t turn on the news)

> I spent the entire day at my computer yesterday setting up my Etsy shop. This is something I’ve contemplated for two years, but never felt really sure how or what to do to get started or how complicated it would be to keep it open. There was no one I knew to ask until…I [...]

> I stepped out onto my front porch this gorgeous October morning and was greeted by this pretty pink sunrise. I could only stay outside in my PJs for about 5 minutes – just long enough to say a prayer of thanks – too chilly. Just thought I’d share it. Can you hear the birds [...]

> We members of the Society for the Preservation of Quaint Old Homes held our first ever Quaint Ladies MarketPlace. JoCarol, Molly and Roxanne have already blogged about it so I’m just filling in with some of the pretty things that caught my eye… …Roxanne setting up… …the view from the yard’s upper level… …”home” [...]

> This is the view from one of our upstairs windows. I just happened to be passing by one morning and peeked through the curtain. It was a little hazy and the light was golden. One of those fleeting moments you could so easily miss if you don’t stop to look.

> This spring, a couple of barn swallows built a nest on our back porch. They were obviously newlyweds – it took them a month to complete their nest. We watched as, daily, their efforts fell to the ground. They never gave up and finally made a lovely home. Isn’t she a good decorator? I [...]

> I’m back! I finished the big job I’ve been working on (will post pictures soon) and am back to my regular schedule (whatever that is). I did manage to work on these note cards during that busy time. I’m addicted to pretty paper and can’t stop buying or cutting it. I’ve got 15 sets [...]

> This is what I’ve been working on this week. These tiles were commissioned by a friend to be given as hostess gifts for her daughter’s bridal showers and brunch. I roll the clay out on my slab roller, cut the shapes and stack on pieces of sheet rock. Then I carve, attach and stamp [...]
