Welcome to my first Style Imitating Art post with me as the curator! My choice was “Evening Poplars” by TC Steele. Style Imitating Art comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! Style Imitating Art challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon …
Lately, I’ve been linking up with Kym at A Fresh Cup of Coffee for her year long series of Twenty-Six Lists. This week’s “Historical Figures” prompted me to write about a confusing man. Kym’s lists range from Goals and Accomplishments (seen here) to things like “Lucky Days,” “Music on Your Playlist,” and “Blog Reading List.” I decided to …
Red, orange, and purple… There was a time when I would have never considered wearing these three colors together. In fact, I’m not sure I would have worn any combination of these three colors together! A few years before I retired, I started reading Debbie Stinedurf’s blog, Your Styled Story. Back then, it was Fashion …
Two weeks ago, I linked up with Kym at A Fresh Cup of Coffee for her year long series of Twenty-Six Lists. She has come up with a list of 26 different lists. She also has a link party. They range from Goals and Accomplishments (seen here) to things like “Lucky Days,” “Music on Your Playlist,” and …

Someone else said it was bohemian. I think the look was boho with some hippie vibes thrown in. Today, …
I admit it. There are some things that instantly catch my attention. Frogs are one of them. I love them whatever color they are! They can be big. They can be small. I actually prefer they be a little on the bigger side, though. Several at the same time…well, that just makes my heart go …
I know the holiday season started last week, but I’m a bit of a slow starter here at Haus der Mitte. I did pack away almost all of the pumpkins. They have to be lugged up to the attic. Last year, when we put Christmas decor away, I relied on my sons to help. And, …
The weather has changed quite a bit since last month! We’ve had several heavy frosts and even a few snowflakes. The leaves are all gone from the trees in our yard and from most of the trees around us. It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the States. I did quite …
