    November Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier November 8, 2018October 31, 2022

    I don’t know if it is because I was raised in New England, but this time of year is one of my favorites.  November is my “pause” month.  A time to slow down and synch my rhythms to the earth.  The days are shorter and the angle of the sun is soft and golden. We…

    The Concept of Home

    ByMary Crozier September 27, 2018September 27, 2018

    Since my visit last weekend to Patina Farm for the book signing by French Country Cottage, I’ve been pondering the concept of home. Brooke and Steve Giannetti spent countless hours planning and designing their home, making it unique and special to them. Courtney Allison’s home is filled with romance in the French country style. It’s hard not…

    DIY~Stenciling a Wood Floor

The weather this particular afternoon was chilly and hailing…very conducive to working indoors. To see more of our mountain cabin, click here. The space needing improvement…

    E-commerce subscriptions and Gift ideas

    ByMary Crozier September 5, 2018January 15, 2021

    I am not the most current on trends, but I find the concept of e-commerce subscriptions fascinating. My first encounter was Stitch Fix, nearly five years ago.  Stitch Fix, is a company that mails you a monthly box of clothing and accessories. The items are hand-picked by Stitch Fix’s 3,500 full- and part-time stylists, who…

    A Little Peace and Quiet

    ByMary Crozier August 23, 2018August 23, 2018

    My husband and I spent the weekend in the mountains of Arizona.  It was SO peaceful and quiet.  Since my life is rather frenetic and busy, there is not much down time. It wasn’t until I was the midst of serenity and stillness that I realized how much I miss the absence of noise. For…
