    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier August 22, 2025August 22, 2025

    After today, there’s just one Saturday left in August. I find myself holding tightly to these final weeks of summer—it’s easy to do in the glorious mountain weather. But tomorrow we’ll be heading back to the Phoenix heat for a short while, and I suspect that within 48 hours I’ll be longing for the first…

    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. Tablescape Ideas:…

    What a blur of a week! The fact is I am too busy and it’s my own fault. I suppose it’s better to be busy than not, but there is a limit, right? Regardless, here we are again getting together to chat about all good things this week. As always, I appreciate you joining me…

    Saturday Meanderings

    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 25, 2025January 31, 2025

    It’s hard to believe it’s the last official Saturday of January. In order to truly appreciate the time that continues to fly by, I want to enjoy my photos from this month. From the quiet solitude of New Year’s Day morning to the ending of this first month of 2025, it has been fulfilling. Thank…
