    Autumn Entertaining

    ByMary Crozier October 16, 2019October 16, 2019

    Autumn in Phoenix is a time to reconnect. Everyone scatters to their cooler locations during our hot summers, but when the temperatures begin to fall, the sidewalks roll out and the town becomes lively again. We had missed seeing many of our friends the last few months and decided to have a gathering to celebrate…

    Setting the July 4th table

    ByMary Crozier July 3, 2019July 3, 2019

    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…
