    Moving On….Thanksgiving.

    November 1, 2012 /

    I have a love hate relationship with Halloween Decor. I LOVE that it gets people thinking about one of my favorite topics, Seasonal Decorating, but HATE  the plastic spiders, bloody corpses and all around potential {as my Grandmother would have called it} “tacky-ness” of the whole thing. I say POTENTIAL, knowing that there are many people who do it well and should not be included in this rant of mine. But here we are finally, in November and we can now move full effect into Fall Decor without concern. The weather has cooled and it’s time to bring out the beauty and harvest of the season.

    Seasonal Decorating: Yes, Even in the South.

    October 5, 2012 /

    Although I am not exactly sure how it happened; It is October 5th already and Seasonal Decorating has kicked off in most parts of the country. October in the Northeast is a time of leaves changing, pumpkin patches, corn mazes {I mean the ones actually growing in the ground} and hay wagon rides with hot cider. In the South….not so much. After living all my life in the Northeast and now finding myself in the South this time of year is confusing to say the least. Today it will be in the 80’s. I am wearing a tank top and flip-flops. How do you write about those cool fall nights with bonfires? October mornings…
