Have you ever been to England? If you answered yes, hopefully you were able to explore the southwestern countryside that features charming Cotswold cottages. Much to my surprise, I was asked to go to England in July to attended a waterlily symposium. Yes, there is such a thing! Many of you know my day job…
Have you ever been to the amazing Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC and enjoyed its rich history and architecture? Located just west of Downtown DC, Georgetown is a National Historic Landmark. The homes are Federal in style and a little more diverse than the Capitol Hill area where we recently stayed. Following are some of…
Are you ready to tie on your virtual shoes and take a walking tour of beautiful Washington DC and its epic historic homes? There are so many interesting neighborhoods, gardens, museums and more in our country’s capital – it’s hard to fit everything into a single trip. Hubby and I were there last week and…
Have you ever been to Alexandria, Virginia? During our trip to Washington DC last week, we took a side trek to this charming town with its old houses, brick sidewalks, and cobblestone streets. I felt like a kid in a candy store and didn’t want to stop exploring its welcoming streets. Join me as we…
It’s been a couple weeks since I shared photos of our trip to Kennebunkport, but today I’m back to show you scenes from Kennebunk, Maine – which is the quieter side of the Kennebunk River that separates the two towns. Each has their own strengths but if you’re not from the area, it’s hard to…
Last week when I shared about Kennebunkport, I promised to share the charm of Kennebunk homes that we saw during our recent trip there. The Kennebunk River divides these two towns and it’s easy to think you’re still in one town or the other after crossing the bridge. I wish I would’ve asked the locals…
Are you ready for today’s line-up that includes several varieties of the Kennebunkport house? The quaint appeal and stunning architecture of this seaside town has forever captured my heart. Whether large or small, the majority of homes are well cared for and made our recent visit to Kennebunkport one of the best vacations I’ve ever…
Whenever I go on vacation, I struggle with whether or not to share my photos here on the blog. I’ve heard some people complain about people who share their vacation photos. But then I figure, if you’re like me, seeing photos helps you decide if that’s a place you’d like to visit. Vacation brochures always…
One thing I love about New England is the seemingly never-ending collection of historic houses. They speak to my soul and tug at my heartstrings. Needless to say, I felt like I was in a world of eye candy while discovering the charming Kennebunkport homes along the coast of Maine during our recent vacation. This…
Vacation is over and I’m happy to say that our trip to Maine is one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. Better than our recent excursion to Hawaii, hands down! The east coast has everything I’m passionate about – the ocean, hills, historic homes, quaint towns, and plenty of nature. We took two side…
Aloha friends! We’re back from our recent vacation to majestic Kauai, Hawaii and I’m feeling refreshed with renewed energy. It’s amazing what warmer weather and sunshine can do for your soul. Today I’m sharing the highlights of our trip along with favorite and not-so-favorite things about Kauai. Hopefully you’ll find the information useful if you’re…
Do you like to travel and dream of where you might head to next? I’ve yet to visit Europe but I hope to get there some day soon. I’ve been exploring various countries and the Netherlands is definitely on my list. I recently came across Dordrecht, which is an historic, charming city located in South…
Today’s post isn’t my typical home décor inspiration. Instead, I’m sharing how I’m battling winter depression because I figure there are probably other people out there who also suffer from seasonal depression. I always struggle this time of year due to shorter days and cold, blustery weather that keeps me indoors for far too long….
Have you ever dreamt of spending Christmas in Europe? It’s something I’ve always thought would be fun to do. The historic architecture, different customs, new holiday foods – all of it would create a magical holiday experience. If you can’t make it to Europe, perhaps Canada is a closer option to consider – specifically, enjoying…
Before we get into the spirit of Christmas here on the blog, let’s take a virtual road trip to enjoy the blissful fall colors in Vermont. From rural roads to small and large towns, there’s so much to see and enjoy in the Green Mountain State, even though right now the mountains display a range…
We’re back from our autumn trip to the Bloomington and Brown County area of Southern Indiana. It’s been many years since I’ve headed to that neck of the woods and it was fun to return. The scenery was beautiful and we had a few fun surprises along the way. On our way to the…
