Today’s charming home tour is a little different, but still inspirational. I kinda screwed up my own schedule and didn’t have a blogger’s home for today. I have a calendar and everything, so it was just oversight on my part. But have no fear … I have an adorable Florida beach cottage for you to…

I’m sitting here thinking of Easter as it’s blowing snow outside. Every few years we get an April snow and I guess this is the year we’re blessed with one last flurry of the white stuff. It promises to be in the 60’s later this week so the snow will be gone soon, thankfully. I’m…
