Hummingbird magic…
I am not a fan of summer. I find it too hot, muggy, stuffy and very uncomfortable. Where I live our summers are a mixed bag. Pouring rain, drought, heat waves, cold fronts…oh and windy. Let’s not forget the wind. There are, however, parts of summer that I do appreciate and love. Sitting on the […]

The Camaleonda Craze…

How do you Home?

Picture Postcards: Winter vibes
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… For me winter is ALL about the snow and below zero temps. Without that, winter just isn’t winter. Oh I am quite aware that I am in the minority when it comes to snow love. “You can keep it” and “I’d rather be on a beach” […]

The art of saving a buck or two
The addition of various furs (faux and real) in your space can really up your coziness game during the colder months. Born of necessity in ancient times to keep a body and bed warm, these days it is more aesthetic than need. You can’t deny the opulance that furs and animal skins add to a […]
