Hello Friends, I love writing, and I know a lot of you want to write but just can't seem to get started. There is nothing magical about writing, except maybe when your story is finally told, and you know you have created characters that seem like people you know. Actually sometimes they are people you know...but that is another story. People think stories just fall out of my head. And that the words just glow on my page. Well, that is not true at all.

Strawberry season is starting...the berries are back at the grocers plump and sweet. I know they never really left, but as the season gets started, so the berries get better... I have tried to grow them but the bunnies always beat me to them, and in all honesty, I just didn't have the knack. But I love the idea of planting strawberries in a hanging basket!

Hello Friends, sometimes all we really need is a tiara and we can take on the world. Or our little part of the world. Well, that is not the hardest thing to do and let's face it, a tiara makes everything look better. And everyone... Okay I will admit, Princess Kate is so stunning a tiara is simply frosting on the cake...still, she does wear it well... So do the Queen's beloved Corgis... Piepie feels she is so darn cute she does not need a tiara...well, maybe not... It goes

Welcome Friends, A lot has happened since you last heard from me. I have relocated and am starting a new online shoppe with my thoughts and precious merchandise. I hope you will follow along to see what is dear and tender that you can hold close be it words of encouragement or something to literally hold in your hands. Moving can be crazy, as I do tend to own way way too much or in my humble opinion, lots of room for new.... Things I hold dear, memories of a trip or another
