Invincible summer

February 20, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I just took Shiloh for a walk and the soft, warm, night air was a reminder that winter won’t last forever. We’ve had an unusual amount of snow and the dearth of sunshine has taken its toll on me. Yesterday was unseasonably warm and it made me so happy I nearly cried. I know we…

Blame it on Lucy graphic

One look at my kitchen and you won’t be surprised to learn that I do indeed “love Lucy”. And not just Lucy, but the style of the 1950s in general. The clothes, the cars and of course, the kitchens!   This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying…

A couple of “shelfies”

February 7, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’m not one to do “selfies” but how about a couple of “shelfies”?  These are the bookshelves in our family room. This was a built-in gun case when we bought the house but we are more book people than gun people. David built these shelves for me instead.  And these are the bookshelves in our…
