A castle room renovation included an up-cycled door insert as a mercury glass mirror.
Don’t buy that stuff ! You can make you own at home and it’s super easy.
When your cousin marries a fabulous guy, you make her anything she needs for the Big Day! That includes 100 jars of tasty, low sugar blueberry jam with berries straight from the farm.
Get out there, it’s lovely out. (well, it was today)
Check the Local Haunts for some places to visit. Why did the chicken cross the road? Beacuse it’s a railroad CROSSING! And besides, it’s Ybor City…urban poultry.
I spend an inordinate amount of time in my favorite space, creating and changing recipes to fit a more healthy – and completely doable – lifestyle.
“to dance artlessly, without particular grace or skill but usually with enjoyment” – That pretty much sums up what goes on in my head most of the time. Here’s a collection of miscellaneous fun favorites.
Get out there! Check out my adventures near and far.
I get myself in trouble surfing the net for cool ideas for the house – really just great ways for other people to separate me from my cash! Nearly every new remodel I see has some romantic little chandelier hanging somewhere, usually over a lovely tub. So I’ve had this idea floating around in my […] Read more…
I have ruined my love of expensive candles. Not to say that I don’t like candles – I do. I really enjoy them. Problem is, the cost. I like those $20-$25 candles that smell so good. You know the ones. Recently, I burned up yet another $20 wonder and thought, ugh, ‘I’m throwing away another […] Read more…
Here’s a sweet smelling post for my frugal friends. This is an easy one, so I’ll make this short. I love it when my house smells nice…not like oatmeal cookie-nice (that’s just makes me hungry!). No, I mean, like clothes out of the dryer ’nice’,…like my ’non-existent-cleaning-lady’s-been-here’ nice. Newsflash – I am not the worlds […] Read more…
Strawberries are a big deal here in central Florida. During January, February and most of March you can find them everywhere. In fact, the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City started yesterday! (kind of a big deal ’round here) So, this is a re-run from my KTGeenDesign.com post from last year. Early berries, I find, […] Read more…
A while ago I Pinned to one of my Boards, a link for an ‘Instant Vanilla Chai’. Even though the recipe was mostly non-dairy creamers, I thought it was a great idea, and that my sister – a Chai lover – would need this for a gift. Notice I didn’t say ‘Christmas Gift’, because this […] Read more…
I was cleaning out my photo file, cause it’s that time of year…from closets, to camera…I’m cleanin’ it up. I ran across this shot and remembered that I’d forgotten all about making it a post. Not really a recipe, an ingredient. So, here it is. Special meals here usually involve massive pieces of meat […] Read more…
For the last few weeks the weather here has been pretty good – don’t tell the folks up North that (sorry guys). Winter is a weird time of year in FL, when we can’t figure out just what’s going on. It’s 80deg one day and then 65 the next. The poor plants are always so […] Read more…
Divers explore the caves under Weeki Wachee | wtsp.com. The river is incredible! There’s more to it than just mermaids… although the ladies are awesome too. (but that’s another blog post) Check out this segment. Read more…
Some years ago we lived in Brooksville, a small, old town in Florida. The kind of town with brick streets, wood clapboard sided homes and where churches out number bars. Back in those days we had a lovely garden. I say ‘had’ because it’s just not the same since we moved. But I digress, many […] Read more…
