About Me:

I live in RI and love my home and the area I live in. I am a perennial gardener. I collect seeds, seedlings, some bulds and also rescue discarded plants. My garden grew from a small area around my mail box which eventually became a four sided border around my front yard. There is something flowering from spring to fall. Over crowding is never a problem, I have a good size back yard and friends for sharing.

Favorite area of home improvement:

I recently had a new galley kitchen put in - I designed myself and made use of every nook and crany. The basement living area finished and exits onto an ugly patio. I am looking for inexpensive ways to up date it and make a more pleasant and useful place to be in. Another project I need to get to very soon is to set up two raised vegetable bed. I have a fifty year old Burning Bush in the back yard where I hang asorted bird houses. Water and seed is available for both birds & squirrels . Someday I want to have a pond, for frogs, turtles and fish - with a small water fall. I never feel like I need a vacation - my favorite place to be is HOME.


Recent Activity


I am not getting the digests any more. I miss them. Can you please start sending them again?

I am not active, because I am busy building a LIFE LONG relationship. I will be selling my place, so there is alot to be done before and after. My beau is handy and creative in ways that I find amazing. I will be sharing his handy work too.

Can anyone tell me about this thrifted floor lamp?

This brass engraved floor lamp was at a Salvation Army store in a nearby town for the regular price of $6. Because it just happened to be yellow tag day I got it for half price. A measly ...»
$3. It's about 5' tall, has a lovely aged patina, and the engraved decoration has been highlighted with colour. It's quite amazing. The photos don't really do it justice.

I don't know anything about it, and I can't find any markings on it anywhere that could help me identify it. It definitely looks vintage, but I'm not sure. I've tried to do research on the Internet, but I haven't had any luck. If anyone can help me with this that would be fantastic!

    free or old. Then, get them together - Sometimes it is sa no brainer other times, the "hmm should I do this or maybe that?" strikes. The perfect solution could hit me weeks or months later. I really need to speed the process up. I am not getting any younger.
