Hi friends, welcome back and come on in! Our new place is coming together and I enjoyed the challenge of decorating for Halloween. I do miss my deep windowsills that I used to be able to decorate, but I like how it turned out this year. In our entryway I have my usual styled table.…
Hi friends, welcome back! This past Friday we made our annual visit to Croton-On-Hudson for the Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze.

Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve got a life update to share with you all: we’re moving! We’ve been pondering the move to the suburbs since we re-signed our lease last May, and this year finally felt like the right time. We found a townhome to rent while we scope out the different towns and decide…
