Name Your Poison…
This bug is bad. Really awful.If anyone knows me well they know I do not like taking any pills whatsoever. No vitamins (although I will force myself on occasion as I am trying to get in the habit of Omega 3) and no drugs of any kind. I am convinced it must be a past-life thing but I don’t care to regress to find out what that is all about. I just want some relief and being the desperate person… [Read More]

The Zen of Highway 99 and Ruth
Seems I have been on a circuit lately that I hope has concluded for a long time. Our family has lost two very lovely ladies within two weeks of eachother, or has it been three? It seems closer in time when these things happen. Both were 89 and as the ministers comforted those remaining, they reminded us that they lived their lives well and their time here has now ended. Both lived lives filled with purpose, children, grand-children and recently… [Read More]

Lilly’s Bermuda Bags…Beautiful!
Back at the end of January I wrote a post regarding my love of Bermuda Bags. I was overjoyed when I found that Inthepinkonline.com was selling them as a pre-order set of three reversible covers and even more thrilled to see that they were Lilly’s Jubilee patterns! They finally arrived! First, I was amazed to find them packaged so beautifully in this bright pink box with a vinyl window. It reminded me of a doll box and was so pretty… [Read More]

“One Lump Or Two?”
High tea.Those two simple words evoke visions of crisp white linens, a bud vase with a single perfect bloom, gleaming silver, the aroma of warm, sweet cream scones accompanied by a pool of ruby hued preserves and fluffy clouds of Devonshire cream.Oh yes, and tea. When the little bundle of joy has arrived.An invitation to a “Sip & See Party”. For those of us who prefer to take tea whilst we oogle.“Thank you, you have been such a lovely hostess…. [Read More]
