    Real or Artificial?

    ByMary Crozier October 21, 2020October 21, 2020

    At a recent small gathering of friends on our back porch, one of our guests admiring the fresh cut flower display on the table asked, “Where did you get those gorgeous hydrangeas?” I paused. Do I tell her that they are artificial? I did confess that I failed to have enough flowers for the numerous…

    Happy First Day of Fall 2020

    ByMary Crozier September 22, 2020September 22, 2020

    Today fall begins in the United States and everywhere else in the northern hemisphere.

    I can honestly say I felt a slight drop in temperature this weekend. Well, even though it remains hot here, it is a perfect time to think about styling for fall! What a grueling summer we are having. For the next several weeks, fall weather will tease us. But every year, we get our Indian…

    Making Lavender Pillows

    ByMary Crozier August 22, 2020April 7, 2021

    The world needs more lavender to promote calmness and wellness, don’t you think? I love sachets, but the larger lavender pillows are getting my attention lately. However, is it me or do they seem expensive? $49.95 for a 7″ square lavender pillow? So what better way to get a lavender pillow than make them yourself….
