My husband and I have season tickets for the local IHL hockey team, the Fort Wayne Komets. I’ve lived in or near Fort Wayne practically my whole life, but had never been to a hockey game until last year (2008-2009 season), and imediately became a fan of both the team and the sport. It’s fast-paced, […]
…with the whoop-dee-do and hickory-dock/And don’t forget to hang up your sock!/’Cause just exactly at 12 o’clock/He’ll be coming down the chimney/Coming down the chimney/Coming down the chimney, down! It is a known fact among friends and family that I like Christmas music. Oh, alright…that’s a lie. I LOVE Christmas music! I have more Christmas music […]
I’m trying VERY hard to stay away from Christmas related things right now, but I just can’t help myself! We go to the store and we’re elbow deep in Christmas decorations and wrapping paper; there are radio stations playing Christmas music already! One can’t help but fall into the grips of all things holiday as […]
Halloween has come and gone, and once again we wait (im)patiently for our next round of holiday fun. In the coming weeks, I’d like to share some of my favorite parts of the holiday season with you…that’s my plan anyway 🙂 In the mean time, here are some photos from this year’s Halloween… I also […]
Alright, I realize that’s a pretty general statement. But it’s true – I love me some October. The onset of fall weather, crispity crunchity leaves, the start of hockey season, my wedding anniversary and the beginning of the bestest holiday season ever! Hockey season – what’s not to love? I mean, the crisp chill of […]
September 22, 2009 at 5:18 pm EDT marks the official start of fall. I AM SO HAPPY! To celebrate, I stopped at the store on my way to work this morning and picked up one of my favorite treats: As I mixed them together this morning, a co-worker made the comment that she had never […]
It’s a sweltering 95 degrees outside today, with a heat index of over 100. As I’m sitting on the leather sofa in our living room, periodically lifting my legs to peel them from the leather, I’m longing for those crisp, cool autumn days. You know the kind – when there is a gentle breeze and […]
A Few of My Favorite Things…Pottery & Dishes Growing up my maternal grandmother always had a huge china cabinet – the smooth, dark wood finish contrasted the pristine white dishes nicely. The glass windows were always free of fingerprints and streaks. I don’t know if the dishes were meaningful, or if they were passed down […]
Please excuse the wonky formatting – this was a post imported from Blogspot, and I can’t seem to get the formatting to match! Hence why I moved the blog in the first place! Scene: A cramped kitchen, mixing bowls and cupcake pans spread across the counter with traces of flour and powdered sugar dotting the […]
I’ve been trying to get my act together to redo a lot of my photos for listings – I just don’t feel like they’re eye-catching enough to be competitive on Etsy. Some of the pieces that I have waiting to list are monochromatic so I wanted to really accentuate the colors and make them pop; I’ve […]
