Romance and Whimsy


This beautiful bower is handmade 'Under the Apple Tree Canopy Bed" by the incredibly talented AttilaDesign. How amazing would it be to fall into this gorgeous bed every night, like sleeping in a faerie tale...

Change is in the air...

They say that change is a gateway to adventure...if that is true, we may be in for a very big adventure, indeed! My hubbie has been offered a position in Wisconsin, and if we accept, we will be living there in little over a month! Since we now reside in the very warm climate of Las Vegas, Nevada...where it is currently a toasty 60 degreees outside...the idea of so much change at once is a little daunting. We both grew up in New Mexico, which is also a warm climate, so the cold weather is sure to be a new experience. We've been here in Vegas for about seven years, and I think we're all ready for a change of scenery. Our 12 year old son has rarely seen snow, and is so excited! If we do move, it will be like ripping off a bandaid..quick and painful. :) Relocating is complicated, and moving my little business will take some work, as well. However, all things considered, I'm excited, too. Bring on the packing tape!

GingerBread Gallery

Each year, I make at least one Gingerbread House for a friend, if not several. It's a ton of work, but it's definitely worth it! Our friends Garth and Judy are yearly recipients of our gingerbread workshop, and just seeing their faces when we bring the house over makes all the long hours worth every minute. Here is a slideshow of a few of our gingerbread houses from past holidays. This years house will be next!
