    Meyer Lemon Marmalade

    ByMary Crozier January 18, 2020February 3, 2023

    I stumbled across this 2008 recipe from Simply Recipes and just happened to have several Meyer lemons that needed to be used. I am one of those people who love marmalade~~on freshly made bread with a cup of tea or coffee. There is something so romantic and very British about it. Meyer lemons are a…

    ByMary Crozier November 26, 2019November 26, 2019

    I didn’t intend for the Thanksgiving centerpiece to match the artwork in the dining room but it happily does!

    Our Thanksgiving Table

    Why are Attracted to Certain Colors?

    ByMary Crozier March 27, 2018March 6, 2023

    Over the last few months I had an obsession with anything that was blush, pink or rose gold. My friend and blogger, Gabie from Tea End blog commented that the color pink was related to nuturing and mothering.  It was during a time I had our children home for the holidays.  My motherly happiness resulted…
