I love the plant clearance corner at Lowes! You can find some of the best bargains there. And, if the plant doesn’t make it through the winter (or summer), you’re not out that much. Last year, I bought a few dianthus (the perennial kind) plants, but they aren’t showing any signs of life. This year, …
I really liked what I did last year, but who wants a repeat, right? Last year, we wrote about things we “can” or “may” do in the month of May. This go round, we’re back to everyone’s favorite! Would you rathers! I tried really hard to come up with my own, but I had to …
Week #104 Nigel had an appointment with the surgeon this week. After talking with him, we decided to move Nigel’s left hip replacement up to May 22nd rather than later this fall. I’m both hopeful and anxious. I know the left hip and leg have been impeding his recovery, but I don’t know that I’m …
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on …
It’s been a month, friends. I only have one more class left for my docent training. We received the information for our “graduation tour.” Now, I need to get started on that and find my audience. I get to have 6-10 people come for my tour. I almost would rather have 6-10 complete strangers watching …
Today, my docent class “toured” the Lilly House at Newfields. While many call it the Lilly House, its actual name is Oldfields. It wasn’t built by the Lilly family but by the Landon family. The Landons built the home in the popular French country house style. J.K Lilly, Jr. bought it in 1932 and began …
Week #103! This is going to be a very short Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I’m still fighting with WordPress, and WordPress is winning! If I copy text from another post, I can’t delete or backspace anything. There are a couple of other things going on, too. I am just flummoxed! Anyway, welcome to the Weekend …
One of the best things I’ve discovered about blogging is meeting new people all around the world. It’s true I’ve only met one blogger in real life (looking at you, Kellyann), but, after a time, you begin to know them. One of my friends is Sue who blogs over at Women Living Well After 50 …
I truly love this quirky piece of art/furniture. Maybe, it’s because it was the subject of my very first presentation in my docent training. Maybe, it’s because it’s black! I don’t know, but I really do like it. If you’d like to read more about why I chose it, you can find that here. If …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. I am this week’s curator …
