Wonderful Home Office

This home office is spectacular.

There is no window for daydreaming so you could really get a lot of work done there. I once converted a walk-in closet to an office and I loved it. via

New Home in Williamsburg

Yes, please. I love this new reproduction home in Colonial Williamsburg. Want to see more? A lot more? Click here. It's much larger than it looks. Wait until you see the back view. Love!!!!

Historic Farmhouse

A Southern California couple bought a 1700s stone farmhouse in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York and have slowly been restoring the interiors ever since. Filling the space with vintage and antique finds sourced locally, there are plenty of nods to the history of the area. 

The structure is wonderful. The link to the tour is no longer available.

Milkweed Seed Pods

I have one volunteer milkweed plant growing in the bed next to my Limelight Hydrangea. I can't wait for the seed pods to form and take me back to my childhood when we lived in a house with fields full of these plants the Monarch butterflies love. via

A Very Welcoming Home

I like what I see here, don't you?

Blueberry Cake Photo YUM

I wish I could tell you I had the recipe for this particular delicious-looking cake but sadly, I do not! I found another one that looks similar -- recipe here. I am finding I can decrease the amount of sugar called for in all recipes, and the taste is still fine and not overly sweet. Enjoy. xo

Potting Shed Envy

Cute as pie! Wouldn't you love to have this little potting shed in your back yard? This has been a very unusual year for gardening in New Jersey. It's still very cool for the end of June and we have had so much rain. The perennials have been wonderful and my peonies were never more beautiful. How does your garden grow? via
