I don’t have a lot of “stuff” that I keep. Mentally, too much “stuff” can be exhausting to some people (me!). However I do have a few treasures that I have saved from when I was a (very young) kid. I’ve always loved paper (still do), writing, reading, art. Some things never change…

I can imagine this house plan in so many different settings. Since it has so many wonderful windows and doors, I can see this plan fitting perfectly where there is a water view or maybe woods – any view would be amazing. I love the wrap around porches and the clean lines of this Dutch inspired house plan. I think this house has amazing lines. I love the cuts in the roof.

A year ago, WHO would have thought that we would be adding “washing masks” to our weekly reportoire? This was a chilly day, I washed the masks and then needed to find a sunny spot for them to dry. Hehe… Worked like magic! Also a tip for getting the nose piece back in place…

Fabulous, right? I love the subject matter in this painting, the large (very cool!) moon, the stunning trees with a life of their own, the moonlight on the water. I want to be right there, perhaps sitting on that big rock, absorbing the silence, watching for a fish to jump.

Sunrise or sunset? I love them both equally. If you owned a home where you could see a stunning view of either, which would you prefer? Sunrise or sunset? I think I would pick sunset, because then I would never miss it! We are up early, but there is always the chance you could miss it…

Can you imagine an outbuilding (or a tiny house!) so fine? With so many people working from home (WFH) during this era of COVID-19, this could be a fabulous office, art studio, and so much more – the possibilities are endless! What a wonderful roofline and gorgeous windows. This is one special space!

Looking for a tasty treat? Something that is healthy and full of everything good in the world? LOOK NO FURTHER, you’ve found it with a Sumo orange. They’re a beautiful color, peel easily (although I slice, we eat and the orange comes right off the peel). #heaven

Charleston, South Carolina has more than beautiful architecture and good food – the plants and flowers are abundant. Right now, blooming like crazy are the camellias. So many different variations it can make your head spin!

Steeples everywhere… Charleston, SC has so many churches. Churches that have stood the test of time, that have gone through so much and have survived or brought back to life after a hurricane or earthquake over the years. #somuchhistoryhere This steeple is so striking with the palm and the stunning blue sky. Let me tell you the copper gutters that you see here are huge! This is one beautiful church!

I think this home is a beauty both inside and out. It looks stately from the front, but the side view is what you can’t miss! I love everything about it. This is a classic saltbox style plan as their website will explain. This plan really can look like something built back in the late 1700’s! You must visit their website to read the full description of this plan, it’s wonderful!

Health experts tell us we should eat the colors of the rainbow for good health. These deep dark berries are beyond amazing all by themselves, but when you toss them in a casserole dish and top them with a little somethin’-somethin’ they become ✨magic✨! I try to keep portions small, this is a teeny bowl ;)

Fabulous, right? I love the sweet layers of paint, applied skillfully with a palette knife. Layers of paint adds such a nice texture don’t you think? Carl has a way with color, light and a palette knife, just wait until you see more of his work. I love the winding path, the gorgeous trees, stunning shadows and the darkness deep within that makes it all stand out!

Perhaps this is a rather unorthodox Valentine image. Not the typical Cupid, roses, chocolates or kisses. But it is pretty cool, don’t you think? #cantbeetit ;) Ahh, Valentine’s Day – a dreaded day by many, a cherished day by others. A day of celebration, handing out cards and gifts or just another day? What is it to you? 💖💘

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!

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!
