About Me:

I'm a retail veteran of 20+ years, currently on hiatus. While I loved the merchandising and buying and constant change new inventory brings, after 20 years, the hours and the working every holiday began to wear me down. Blogging gives me a creative outlet, while pairing photos with food, words, and at the table.

Favorite area of home improvement:

All aspects of Gardening~ including at the table and bringing the Outdoors in!
