    Storing things

    ByMary Crozier January 15, 2019January 15, 2019

    Someone recently asked me where I put everything. The challenge with having a large property is to not fill it to the brim with stuff. I tend to organize by categories. Some people organize alphabetically or by color or project. But it’s easier for me to focus on the object~~looking for scissors? Go to the…

    Fall Decor Touches in the Living Room

    ByMary Crozier September 21, 2018September 18, 2023

    It is that time of year when the temperatures are shifting ever so slightly lower, that I am inspired to add a few fall decor touches to the living room. I recently went to Trader Joe’s to buy pumpkins for my living room mantle and they had NONE. They had not shipped yet from the…
