    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier December 19, 2020December 19, 2020

    Christmas is a less than one week away. Oh my. Even though I dream about having a comprehensive holiday home tour to show you, I am still noodling around with decorations (and cleaning up). Welcome to Saturday Meanderings! I am envisioning you with all your gift shopping done and lounging around in your red striped…

    Holiday Dining Room Decor

    ByMary Crozier December 16, 2020October 22, 2022

    Yesterday, I went shopping for pink (yes, pink!) Christmas ornaments. Seriously. What was I thinking?!? Hobby Lobby is one endless row of empty shelves after another. Online shopping will get you ornaments shipped after the holiday at the end of December. Not admitting defeat, I checked out Michaels. Again, hardly any inventory, but I went…

But surprisingly, the color is proving to be one for all seasons. Remember my autumn wreath against this color? Just perfect. Well now, I want you to see…

    How to Make Bleached Pinecones

    ByMary Crozier December 9, 2020December 7, 2020

    I don’t recall where I saw this DIY, but it sounds like a project that I could tackle. We have lots of pinecones at our cabin and I brought some back with me during our last trip. But I can’t find them anywhere. Go figure. So I did a garage search and came up with…
