Back in the late ’90’s, we had the pleasure of touring the California coast, and it’s a trip we will never forget. The highlight, by far, was the Napa Valley region. The scenery was unsurpassed in its beauty…the food was inspired and fresh (I never knew peaches tasted like that!) …and the climate was perfect. I’m not one to return to places I’ve already been,
Autumn Around Town
As you may have seen a couple of weeks ago in this post, Vermont is gorgeous in the Fall, but like most of New England this time of year, we’re lucky to have spectacular beauty right in our own back yards so last week we took a short drive to some of my favorite spots. Visible just around a bend, this vista is one of
An Autumnal Luncheon
Don’t you love getting invited to a house that you know is going to be all dressed up and purdy? Me too. So when Sharene invited a few of the ‘gym girls’ to her house for a luncheon last week, I wasted no time asking her if I could get there a few minutes early to take some pictures. Can you blame me? Isn’t this lovely?
Autumn in Vermont
New England is best known for its explosive Fall foliage, and Vermont is arguably its crown jewel. Tuesday morning I awoke at 4:30, excited to start our day trip to Vermont that would end more than 12 hours and 225 pictures later. Crossing into the border from Massachusetts, our first stop was Hogback Mountain, located in the town of Marlboro, an area justifiably well known for fabulous
Halloween Food & Decorating Ideas
When it comes to decorating I tend to put it off until the holiday is suddenly upon me and I realize too late I’m behind the 8 ball. The only reason my house is decorated for Fall this year is because of the Fall tour, otherwise I’d probably still have geraniums on my porch. No lie. But a while ago I found some cute and pretty
A Vintage Shop, A Sanctuary & A Giant Tin Man
Two weekends ago we took the RV out for a short trip to a town called Foxborough, located about halfway between Boston and Cape Cod. The resort we stayed at was super nice…much nicer than the one we stayed at with the boys a few weeks ago. The area of Foxborough is also pretty, with beautiful homes every which way you look. Since Saturday was
Fall Home Tour At The Cabin
The leaves are turning, and countless farmers markets dot the landscape selling their wares of pumpkins, richly colored mums, impossible to resist donuts and hot apple cider. Here in New England, Fall is celebrated in a big way, and I’m pretty sure when it comes to homes that lend themselves to Fall decorating, log cabins are at the top of the food chain. Their rustic
12 Favorite Ideas for Painted Pumpkins
Now that Labor Day is behind us, there’s no fighting it anymore. Fall is just around the corner, and although I’m sorry to see Summer pass, Autumn is truly my favorite season of the year. I love the cool, crisp weather it brings, the gorgeous foliage we are fortunate to have here in New England, the scents, the decor ─ it’s such a fun,
Take A Drive With Me
Don’t you just love it when you’re driving and you suddenly stumble upon a beautiful vista…one that you’ve never seen before but happens to be practically in your own backyard? That happens a lot here. There was construction happening on the road leading to our house and everyone was detoured. It was a bit inconvenient, but I’d never have found this gorgeous view otherwise. There’s a
The Fire Pit is Ready!
It’s been a busy, productive week, and I’m happy to say the fire pit is finally finished :). Here’s what it looked like Sunday morning. And here’s what it looked like Sunday afternoon. We had picked up the wheel rim at a junkyard a few weeks ago, and most of the rocks came from our yard, while a few others from the wooded areas
