The Background Ever since I was old enough to pick out my own clothes, I used what I wore to express myself. More specifically, I used my shirts to express myself. Whether it be a picture or a saying, I could show off my thoughts and interests. I think the thing that really hit it home for me was watching…
Back last fall, I wrote about getting rid of my dining room to make room for a Garden Room here. Well, the Garden Room is done and ready to host some seedlings, in addition to the multitude of amaryllis, narcissus, and hyacinth bulbs. Just because they’re gorgeous, here’s some pics of the amaryllis: Back story in a nutshell I knew…
Ahhhh, cashmere. It’s the sweater we all want until we see the price tag. I bit the bullet a few years ago and picked up a cashmere sweater at Talbots on sale. It’s gray (a color I don’t wear) and a bit of a high crew neckline (we all know how I feel about turtlenecks) but it just feels so…
A few months ago I picked up a brown vintage mock turtleneck sweater. I’m not a turtleneck person, but I’ve had mock-necks in the past and enjoyed them. I thought I’d be fine. I was not. I’m bummed too; I got it to wear with this vest and it’s perfect but Can’t. Do. The. Neck. (Insert theatrical choking sounds.) I…
We hooked up with our friend Liz and made a trip to to the secondhand store Savers in Warwick RI. We had a great time! As it turned out, the dressing rooms were closed so we couldn’t try on any clothes. We thought they would accept returns, but when we checked out the cashier told us returns had to be…
Now you know what we’re looking forward to in 2022- how did we do last year? Did we make some changes or were our resolutions a bust? Winter Bee My 2021 word was #miracles. I wasn’t planning on a word for the year, that just happened (as inspiration does). My resolution: to go out of my comfort zone and open…
Every new year brings new goals and personal growth. Here is what we are aiming for in 2022! Tangerine Tea: I love a fresh start. At the beginning of every calendar year, and around my birthday, I set new goals for myself. I love the feeling of possibilities. For 2022, I have two lists; one for things I want to…
We love decorating for Christmas! We want to share some of our favorites with you. Tangerine Tea: I look forward to Christmas time all year long, it is my favorite holiday. And because I love it so much, I often look for more decorations every year. Here are my top three favorites! One of the new ornaments on the tree…
Rachel texting Pam: Hey I’m parked right behind you at the Mall! Pam: Yay! I’m at Old Navy. Rachel: I’m working my way from the other end, see you soon. Are we the only ones or do you just *happen* to find something good for yourself while holiday shopping? Here’s where we went and what we scored! Winter Bee: I’m…
We took a spur of the moment Goodwill trip to a store about hour away from where we live. Unlike a retail store where the merchandise is always the same no matter what store you’re in, shopping at different thrift stores means you never find the same thing twice! It’s the time to change the summer to fall closet and…
