Alder Cottage by Lake & Land Studio for Southern Living House Plans!

Alder Cottage by Lake and Land Studio for Southern Living House Plans

This house plan has so many wonderful features not to mention a large screened porch on the back. What a dream! The three windows in the front… that’s the kitchen! Absolutely perfect! There is a master down with an additional bedroom as well as two bedrooms upstairs with a small sitting room – so nice for guests (or family)! The one bedroom downstairs could be used as an office if you’re working from home like so many of us!

Genuine Canine (GC) Dog Collars!

Genuine Canine Dog Collar Modeled by Charlie

I LOVE well made items. A dog collar, from the nicest feeling leather that will hold up for a very long time and is able to get wet (this company KNOWS dogs love water), it’s just so sharp, I think, if you have a dog, you will be very interested! I just happened to have a model, although he’s a hairy little guy so it took about a zillion photos before I could see the collar. This is one sharp collar, especially with the GC stamp – very classy!

Idea House at Fontanel (SL1855) by Historical Concepts for Southern Living!

Idea House at Fontanel by Historical Concepts for Southern Living

Just look at this amazing expanse of a porch – Can you imagine the wonderful gatherings this space could accommodate? There is also a rear porch accessible via the downstairs bedroom, casual dining space as well as the keeping room. Matter of fact, if you had glass door on the front and back door you could see in the front right through to the back!

Camellias in Charleston, SC!

Camellia’s in Charleston, SC

Charleston, South Carolina. Always beautiful, always something blooming, even this time of year. Camellias are beautiful flowers and they are abundant here. Some people like to float them in a pretty glass bowl – I snapped this while out on a walk ;) There was a tulip tree nearby budding, so hoping a frost doesn’t zap it before I can get some beautiful photos!

24 Ocean Springs Boulevard by Our Town Plans!

24 Ocean Springs Boulevard by Our Town Plans!

A pretty remarkable use of outdoor space, right? This plan has a wonderful porch on the main level and a large roof deck above. There is also a screened porch off the back via the master suite (upstairs). I love the carport too! A carport is enough to help keep hail off of your car at least! In sunny South Carolina it would also keep your car out of direct sun, a major bonus!

The Village Double (Duplex) C0552) by Allison Ramsey Architects!

The Village Double (Duplex) C0552 by Allison Ramsey Architects

Something different to start off the new year… I was thinking about how this COVID-19 Pandemic that we’ve been living through has changed our lives (temporarily!) – many of us are staying home and working from home now more than ever. We have family members we’re unable to see due to the circumstances. But just think, what if you built a duplex? Say you’re working from home, and you have a family member who may be alone and perhaps doing the same thing. Wouldn’t it be nice to be next to each other? You could both have a work from home space as well as a living space.

WORLD FAMOUS CHRISTMAS COOKIES!

World Famous Christmas Cookies

These are actually called Christmas Butter Cookies – my family pulled the recipe out of a magazine back in the way back in the 1960’s and we’ve made them ever since. Five stars! Not only are they so tasty, but they are so much fun to make and especially to decorate. I can remember good times decorating one at a time (like tinsel on a tree, one piece at a time)… #whorememberstinsel?

If 2020 Were An Image

If 2020 were an image, it would look a bit like this…

Yes, 2020 looks a bit like this. So much information about the presidential election, lack of leadership, who said what about whoever, the riots (and I’m not talking about the peaceful protests), the hate, the negative non-stop attack ads that make the “slip and fall and we’ll make you rich” commercials seem like Hallmark. I know my head isn’t the only one that is swimming in a sea of disinformation.
