4th of July/Big Boy Burger Fun

-

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July celebrating this beautiful country we call home.

We had a low key day, but did enjoy a backyard barbecue with friends. I threw together a cute centerpiece, using an old Coca Cola crate, gingham check plates & napkins and anchored by my vintage Marx's Big Boy. We were grilling burgers, so this hamburger wielding fella was just the perfect crowning touch! 



His checkered overalls went perfectly with my plates and napkins.



just a simple bit of table decor to add to this festive day.

Thanks for stopping by,

    OH Jane I had to smile to see your Big Boy. I grew up in Michigan and Big Boy was our favorite hamburger. We still have to stop for lunch when we go to Michigan. I love your sweet guy and the fun vignette you made for the 4th. Have a great weekend.

    Did you know there is a Big Boy still up and running in Marquette MI? We always go there for their breakfast when we are in that area. The one here used to make THE BEST spaghetti (for a non-Italian place). Love your sweet bits and pieces on the table for the 4th. What fun! Have a great night- xo Diana

    I love the Bigboy. It brought back memories of when I was little and once a month we would go to one for dinner.

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
