Two Homes * Two Sisters * One Blog
Recently I fell in love. Mercury Glass Cloche love. But, the cost of this love was just too high. So, I had to settle for what might have seemed to be second best at the time, but in reality turned out to be the perfect one for me all along. That Pottery Barn kind of love is just too expensive for this heart! All I had to do was take a … [Read more...]

I have a confession to make. I don't buy my husband anything for Valentine's Day. Not even a card. And he doesn't buy me anything either. Not even a card. Do you still like me? I promise there's a good reason for this! You see, in the beginning we were poor. As in, root around in the car seat cushions looking for loose change so we could … [Read more...]

All you need is an inexpensive mug, paint pens and an … [Read more...]

I will be the first to admit that me and my sweetheart are often as different as night and day, yet after 20 years of marriage we are … [Read more...]
I had been having one of those days with my kids. I don't really want to name any names. But, it was mostly the oldest one. After several "please stop doing that"s and "leave your sister alone"s and "don't make me come up there"s, my patience level was on the edge. And then it just got tipped right over that edge. I don't remember the specifics … [Read more...]
I'll never forget it. We strolled down the steep path that meandered behind the cabins. I'm pretty sure he held my hand...in fact I know he did. I could feel my palms getting clammy and wishing I could wipe them on my shorts. I couldn't help but wonder where we were going...and that nagging worry in the back of my mind, "what if … [Read more...]
I’m not usually a holiday dresser….no pumpkins for Halloween, no holiday sweaters for Christmas but for some reason the Valentine motif sends my heart a flutter. For each of these t-shirts I cut out a paper heart template, traced it on various shades of felt, and then cut and pinned them in place. Fortunately come … [Read more...]
