I have often been accused of being “born in the wrong time”, or “older than my years” I personally think the 1st one sounds more flattering than the 2nd. I love old clothes, old movies, old glamour, old manners, old furniture. (If I was a little more current all of the before mentioned items would [...]

We have been having a virtual heat wave here for the past few days (30 degrees for 3 days in a row….YAY!!)….so a little touch of spring for my family room…..
I must say tulips are my absolute favorite flower. They are still a little droopy from the trip home, but should perk up by tomorrow!

The first thing I was asked to do when I got to work this morning was to figure out how to call a certain wine shop in France. Not at all related to what I normally do at work, but one of those things that just needed to be done. Well, when it comes to [...]

Movie Weekend

I love movies whether they are on tv, come from Netflix (YAY! I heart Netflix), or at the theater (which is my absolute favorite way to see them). Knitting enables my movie watching and my movie watching enables my knitting (except at the theater because I could never knit in the dark, and I have [...]
