I know it isn’t even Halloween yet, and here I am talking about Christmas—sorry, I know that irks some people. I am in this mindset because it is time to start loading my Etsy shop in preparation for the holidays. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your patience and support. I’ve been unable
Last week, I told you about my battle with an invasive weed known by many names: bishop’s weed, goutweed, ground elder, and Snow on the Mt., among others. SEE HERE. Originally imported into the country as a decorative ground cover, it comes in two variations: green and variegated cream and green. You can find both
For quite some time, I have been dealing with a nuisance in the form of a little green plant known as Goutweed, Ground Elder, Bishop’s weed, and other names. SEE WIKI. It comes in either a green or green and white variegated variety. Historically, it has been used for medicinal purposes related to gout, but
Since my return from Ireland and my recovery from hip replacement surgery, I want to focus more on my gardens. I tend to rearrange my gardens like I rearrange my furniture. Sometimes, I am unhappy with how the plantings turn out, sometimes they die, and sometimes the plant is just wrong for the space. In

Time to begin work on the outside of the house. I did a bunch of redos and upgrades in the house over the winter which I will share with you later. Today I want to show you my new bird feeder. My wood deck has become the sorse for wear over the past few years.
I have an old, smaller, three-drawer dresser in my bathroom. It dates back to the 2000s when painted furniture with dabbles of colored wax was an in-thing. Somehow, a white ring appeared on the top of the dresser. It wouldn’t go off, and I got a little too aggressive and took the paint and wax

Initial Work Plan The Good We decided to remodel our guest bathroom. It is a small room measuring ten by five feet. It was original to the condo and needed a refresh. We remodeled the ensuite bathroom a couple of years ago after repainting the entire upper level and upgrading the kitchen and sitting rooms.

After a couple of years of holiday blahs, I decided to decorate the house for Christmas. In the last post, I shared my updated dining room decor with Christmas decor. Today I am sharing the sitting room. I use an artificial tree now and have used this white light tree in the living room for
