Recently Patrick and I went did a massive clean out and reorganization of our garage. Part of it involved me sifting through boxes of photos. Yes, real, glossy, shot on film type of photos. Growing up in the infancy of digital photography means my early memories were captured on film, and I learned the ropes…

Vaccinated!

I am thrilled to say that last Saturday Patrick and I both received our second dose of our COVID-19 vaccine! Which means in a little under two weeks we can begin to venture back out into the world! We received the Moderna vaccine, which was partially funded by America’s sweetheart, Dolly Parton, so I decided…

December 2022 Update: After becoming vaccinated, things really changed, and I have been going out more and more, while of course continuing to be cautious.

It has been over a year since I did a Question & Answer session, so I think it’s high time to do another! So, if you have any questions, now this the perfect time to ask me about almost anything! I say “almost” because rude or inappropriate questions will not be considered, and if any…

Ages ago I met an editor at Engaged Media (the publishing powerhouse behind vintage favorites such as Atomic Ranch and Flea Market Decor) and we talked about our apartment being featured in their special holiday issue, Vintage Holiday.

We Bought a House!

Alright, so the BIG news I’ve been hinting at! We bought a house! After over a year of searching, being outbid twice, we finally got one! It’s not the amazing mid-century modern or crazy 50s ranch I had hoped for, as it is relatively modest on the outside, but it was built in 1954 and…
