Sanctuary
When my daughter came to visit she walked in the door and asked, “What’s that’s smell?”, but she meant it in a good way. The house smells different on any given day depending on how I live, so I couldn’t really pinpoint it for her. There was a Voluspa candle burning, but there was also…

Our True North
I rarely went to Hill Country Water Gardens because it was so far away. Unfortunately, now it only takes 10 minutes to arrive in their parking lot. They open at 11:00 am on Sunday’s and that’s my favorite time to go. My truck pulls into the lot a few minutes before they officially open, but…

The Best of Both Worlds
In this post here I shared the ambitious idea of leaving my Bougainvillea inside through the summer. It had done well being in over the winter and I was curious if it would thrive indoors during it’s blooming season.

I like the idea of growing it indoors, but have never tried it before, so there’s some uncertainty. I’ve heard it’s messy when the paper-like blooms begin to shed, but I…

The Vintage Lamp
I created a space to curl up and read in the corner of my den. It’s very cozy, but I needed a taller lamp so the light would land on the pages of the book. I’ve had a fascination with lamps my entire life and it’s probably not the lamp itself, but that they produce…

Legacy
In October, my daughter and her boyfriend came for a visit on my birthday. It was so good to see them because since they live near Austin, I don’t drive to see them often. My daughter always spends the first few minutes of every visit, walking through the house eyeing the familiar things that have…

The Kitchen Table
On Sunday’s I spread out and don’t worry about the mess. Sitting at the kitchen table I snapped a photo for you and to some it may look cluttered, but to me it tells the story of how I’m living my life. My home is being used as storage for this kitchen table. One day,…
