And I wonder why I haven't made any friends yet.
Who would think of using pine cones at any other time than the winter? Love this.
Happy Monday!
I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020. We relocated to Dallas and have been spending our time searching for our Forever Home. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

ReplyDeleteLove al fresco dining, its the ultimate and I can hardly wait!
What beautiful tablescapes.....Spring will be here soon enough. I just the weather doesn't go from 50 to 89 in one week; I enjoy the transitional stage. Woke up to a covering of very wet snow!! Wasn't even in the forecast......very weird. The outlets sound like fun. It's great you have a Restoration Hardware; I think that's rare. Very sunny here now! Happy Monday! xoxo- Dawn
