When I was growing up, my mom used to love shopping at thrift stores, and still does. I, on the other hand, used to not love it so much. Actually I found it an icky and traumatizing experience. Dreaded it. Of course now, it’s kind of part of the blogging deal, right? That’s just something […]
A Fantel Update for Summertime
Happy Memorial Day weekend to all my American friends! In Canada, we had our holiday last weekend so it’s now (un)officially Summer here. We’ve been spending soooo much time out in the garden and I wanted to give a little Summer love to the inside of our house too. Just a little bit though. I’m […]
It’s your sometimes-weekly front hall update!
So, what’s been going on in that potentialful front hall of mine that I’ve been working so hard on? Is it done? Is it almost done? You deserve to know. You deserve to have something beautiful and inspiring to look at. You just won’t find it here! Instead I offer you this: It’s in pretty […]
Thanks for the memories, White Slipcover.
I’ve shown you my living room before now and then. Right in the middle of my living room, you find my trusty Ikea Ektorp sofa, about 8 years old-ish. It’s still comfy. Sometimes it doesn’t look half bad. I’ve even had people ask me how I keep it so white. I don’t! This is our […]
Holiday Weekend at the Beach

And probably most weekends now that the hot weather is here! How could we not […]

Gardening Season has officially begun!
I’ve been seeing all these garden posts around blogland the past couple of weeks so I thought I’d throw ours into the mix as well. We may have bitten off a little more than we can chew with this fairly large vegetable garden we dug up last Fall, but it should at least be an […]
How to Have a Fantastic Weekend – A Step-By-Step Guide
Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day Weekend!
Weeds need love too!
I don’t know what it is with me and weeds, but I just love ’em. If I see a pretty weed flower, I’ll always have to pick it and bring it inside. And you know how I love my dandelions. I even love pulling them in the garden. One tiny weed can have root systems […]
Future Ivy Topiary
Today’s idea is a quick and simple one, and I like that, so I thought you might too. I’ve been meaning to do this for a month or two, ever since I saw some different topiary shapes they were selling in the Pottery Barn catalogue. I picked myself up a little $1.97 ivy from Walmart […]
