    A Meaningful Memorial Day: Tablescapes, Decor and Delicious Inspiration

    ByMary Crozier May 21, 2025May 21, 2025

    Memorial Day is just around the corner! This holiday conjures up so many beginning-of-summer memories for me. Growing up in Connecticut, the end of May marked the start of better, warmer weather with longer days, a fashion thumbs up to wear white, our town’s Memorial Day parade and the end of school. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, it’s a day of remembrance—for honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. Whether you’re hosting a backyard gathering, a picnic, or a dinner at home, incorporating thoughtful, patriotic details into your tablescape, decor, and food can help set the tone for a day that’s both celebratory and respectful.

    Inspiration for your Easter weekend

    ByMary Crozier February 14, 2025February 14, 2025

    Happy day after Valentine’s Day. Did you do anything special? Other than wear a “Love” t-shirt, socks with red hearts, and doing a property walkabout with my husband, it is a regular day for us. I hope you read my post this week about the love story of our home. Certainly a fun trip down…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier January 3, 2025January 4, 2025

    Is anyone else having trouble figuring out what day it is? Friday, this week feels like a Monday and with all the holiday hoopla, I am putting off my New Year focus until this coming Monday, the 6th. My son and daughter flew back to their respective out-of-state homes last Sunday. We are so thankful…
