    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier July 22, 2022July 23, 2022

    Happy sweltering Saturday! Typically we travel a lot over the summer, but there have been a few surprises with us staying closer to home this year. Normally, I stop thinking about the garden in June and let it go fallow. But this year it is still producing. Any day now I will be picking watermelon…

    How to Paint Brass (or any) Lamps

    A Sorely Needed Terrace Makeover

    ByMary Crozier May 17, 2022May 18, 2022

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier April 22, 2022April 23, 2022

    Happy Saturday, friends! What a week it has been. Our large group of houseguests have left and all the laundry is done. We are still experiencing the most glorious weather and I’m not sure why this Spring seems so vibrant this year. Maybe it just everyone emerging from two oppressive years. Anyway, glad you are…
