I will be in Collingswood ,NJ on August 19th and 20th for the Collingswood Fine Art and Crafts Festival. I’m excited to debut my pumpkins outside of my usual geographic area!
It is wedding season. This is usually a busy time for me but I haven’t had too many wedding gigs this year. My husband, on the other hand, has a new second job working for a caterer, so he has been the busy one most weekends, mixing drinks and serving meals. I do the singing […]
I found this sweet little sillhouette portrait the other day at one of my thrift shops. I am drawn to anything paper related and silhouettes are just so special. I especially love this young woman because she has glasses. Adorable. Imagine that day in 1937. Surely, getting one’s silhouette done by “Greenberg” on the Ocean […]
I could really use a bit more space these days! My husband is teaching virtual High School English in our bedroom, my 17 yr old is working on his Junior year in his shared bedroom and his brother is in the basement. Our 5th grader is sitting on a stool in her TINY room with […]

I have found it. It was 2 dollars at a thrift store. Not only is it perfectly sized, shallow, smooth, perfect weight- it has robin’s egg blue on the INSIDE of the cup. I love that kind of detail. I haven’t been feeling so great lately, so busy driving kids and working a lot, and […]

I know I could save myself a lot of time if I stopped worrying about how my house and garden look. When we were getting ready to move last year, I had little paper doll pieces of furniture that I moved around for months on graph paper trying to make sure I got the room […]
