Recently, I read The Happiness Project, an awesome book about. . . surprise, Happiness, I read it twice, back-to-back. I have NEVER done that in…
Here’s my entry vignette to celebrate Thanksgiving. My neighbours were quick to compliment me on the colour since they are used to seeing all white flowers in my garden, haha. Every year when the fall magazines arrive on the newsstands it’s always fun to see how many ways a pumpkin can be decorated. Painted…

Thursday night we hosted a small gathering for my fabulous associate Irene Hill, her husband Kevin, Cary Blackburn who manages my website for me and his wife Deanna.

These are my adorable owls that sit on my coffee table. They greet you when you walk into the house because my living room is the first thing you see from the entry. Here is my decorated garland. You’ll see the whole room in all it’s glory soon but this is just a quick fix….

The holiday tour of my house is here! First I’m showing you the image I think is the prettiest! Do you like all my empty, colour-coordinated boxes? I spent two evenings wrapping them!
