Fall Trends 2008 {A Touch of Tartan}

The Garden {Peony}

My peony flowers have finally begun to bloom!
Daybreak In a Garden

When cloudy shoals were chinked and gilt with fires of day.

All Natural *Spice Girls*

I have to admit that I am a tea freak. For me there was always something special about sitting down late afternoon and enjoying a pot of tea. When my children were younger, and when they could stay up later on weekends, we cuddled together in our family room enjoying tea and something sweet while [...]
