I watch my little ragamuffin prancing around in her flouncy skirt. She is happily singing “Jesus Loves Me”, some of it in a foreign language that I am not familiar with. I say “Violet, you are so sweet, can I take a picture of you?” “No!” She merrily chirps in reply. Babyhood is revered by all in […]
Queen for a season
I drive up yesterday to find donkey and dog with their faces smashed up against the window. Dog is waiting patiently in the background because if he tries to crowd in donkey will point her rear end at him and start kicking up her heels. Sassy little thing.
You know what we are doing here? Looking at Levi’s donkey. Thought you would want to know that. The pretty hairpins from Geeta inspired me to get my hair done. You can shop her collection here . If you want a good laugh just stare at my nose for awhile, quite comical. I wasn’t sure I […]

Welcome to the Windy Ridge Pantry. A size that The Duggar Family might find laughable, but suits us just fine. I love these bins from Cash & Carry in Vancouver, Washington. They sell industrial strength resaurant supplies and I could seriously spend hours there. A second fridge. A copper faucet. And a chandelier. Funny story […]
This was Levi’s brilliant idea. An old vintage drinking fountain in the mudroom. Why didn’t I think of this? Our uncivilized children are constantly hanging off the fancy kitchen faucets and this is the perfect solution. We found this fountain at Rejuvenations, a salvage shop in Portland, Oregon. Love that place.
Levi took the girls fishing as promised. I decided that I am not quite ready to put my queasy self on a rocking boat so I sent Riley with my camera. This ancient looking fellow wasn’t quite big enough to keep so they let him go. PS-in this photo you can see Shanda’s glorious red hair
He did it! Levi managed to take my odd collection of antique stair parts and make them into a beautiful staircase. I was a little worried that the new banister wouldn’t match, but with a little walnut stain it looks perfect. At one time the carved newel posts had finials, so if you ever happen […]
I know I have mentioned the noble steed in previous posts, but she deserves her very own post, don’t you think? It all started when Levi carelessly mentioned that someday he would like a donkey. Two years ago I surprised him with Emili for Christmas, you can read about it here. I realized after seeing […]
