Childhood Home

 

My childhood home is up for sale again.  I sold it six years ago to a lovely couple.  They have had more children since moving in so they put the house on the market.  Our family was there for 55 years.  The current owner sent me a tour of the updates and I. Was blown away.  Do you visit your childhood home.

Jewelry

 

I admit it- I love jewelry. I had this flower ring made last year and I adore it. Are you a jewelry lover?

Trader Joe Find

 How can you not love Trader Joe’s  (www.traderjoes.com)? They have so many wonderful products to choose from. These cauliflower gnocchi are no exception. Add some marinara sauce, olives and asparagus and voila you have dinner!!!  What is your favorite Trader Joe’s product?

Bedding

It's so hard to find nice sheet nowadays.  I wanted to get nice sheets for my guestroom (aka sofa bed). I headed to Pottery Barn Kids. They have some very cute selections (even for adults). I purchased these heart sheet and shams and I adore them. They are cute, soft and appealing to the eye.  I have also purchased from Pottery Barn Teenwww.potterybarnteen.com.  Check these out. I know that you will be impressed. They also have wonderful sales.

A Great Tote

 I love a great tote!! I have been a tote collector since the 70's!  One of my favorite totes is my Ginger Jar tote from Crab and Cleek.  They have lots of great totes and this one is no exception. It makes a great gift for the student, hostess or for yourself!!! Let me know what you think .

I'm Back

 I 'm back!!! I really have missed blogging.  It was a part of my life for so long when I wrote Preppy 50 and Loving Lilly (until my blog got swallowed up by Google). Life is good all things considered. I have been fortunate to be working during the entire quarantine. My company is considered essential. I feel fortunate to have had a routine everyday.  What a blessing!!!  I look forward to sharing my finds with you.

Update

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over. Where did it go?  The summer was rainy and hot but full of fun too. I spent a long weekend in Saratoga Springs at my alma mater Skidmore College for a reunion planning meeting. We will be planning our fortieth reunion (how can that be, where did the time go?). I just got back from Ocala Florida visiting dear family friends. I had a wonderful time and got to relax a bit.

I am still working and feel fortunate to have a job that I love and work with people that I love. How did I get that lucky?

Fall is almost upon us and so is Fall shopping.  I cannot wait to hit my favorite retailers this weekend. J Mclaughlin here I come. How was your summer?
