I found this perky little wren up on Amy's desk yesterday. She said I could take his picture knowing full well he would come to live on this blog.

Home Is Where You Hang Your Hat Part Two
Top of the china cabinet redo. I had time to clean at home in TheStoneHouse today. Besides playing around with this, I tried Amy's Pizza Sauce and now there are 13 cute little pint jars of beautiful sauce. (Pint jars are so amazingly tiny and quaint, after quarts and half gallons jars for years of… Continue reading Home Is Where You Hang Your Hat Part Two
Home Is Where You Hang Your Hat
Elv and Frances are enjoying renovating The Beast (one little ole Sidekick). A pot of glorious mums from my friend Susan. It's perfect for the front door at Heartwood.
