Happy Labor Day weekend! Do you have any special plans this weekend? This weekend, the Dollhouse movie room will be turned into a game-viewing room. I have family, along with a few Georgia fans, coming over for the first Georgia game of the season. I know very little about football, but tomorrow should be […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 883rd Tablescape Thursday! Many, many years ago, I’m guessing 12-15 years ago, I came across Napoleon Bee flatware on the Neiman Marcus website. I had never seen this flatware before and was immediately smitten. That may have been around the time it was first in production, not sure. It happened to be […]| Between Naps on the Porch
When I awoke this morning, it was 53° outside. I actually turned on the heat in my office for a few minutes to take the chill out of the air. Afterward, I pulled out one of my winter hoodies to wear. Just before turning in last night, I came across a video online where the […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 865th Metamorphosis Monday! How was your weekend? I hope it was awesome! It’s been so nice here during the day, the kind of weather that makes you want to get outside for a walk. I managed to get a walk in with family, but mostly I was inside all day Saturday and […]| Between Naps on the Porch
The weather has drastically changed here this past week. I’m sure we’ll have a few more warm days ahead, but the cooler temps the last few days and this morning mean autumn is on its way. I had a handyman here working today, and while he was hanging a door and making various repairs, I […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 882nd Tablescape Thursday! I have a truly special table to share with you today, along with a wonderful story. Elena wrote, “My mother passed away a few months ago after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Since her passing, I have been thinking about a table scape in her honor, using her fine […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Over the past couple of months, I’ve had a few requests to do an update on the journey I’ve been on to grow out my natural hair color. When I started this process in September 2023, I read and learned as much as I could about how long it would take. One of the bits […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 864th Metamorphosis Monday! I have been eyeing this bench for at least a year. I kept wondering how it would look in my small back entry that I often refer to as a mini-mudroom. This is the spot where I envisioned using it. I noticed in the “Question and Answer” section […]| Between Naps on the Porch
A good friend texted me on Wednesday to let me know about the awesome sale that’s currently underway at Talbots. Thanks, Teresa! I didn’t have time to shop the sale yesterday, but today I took a look, and the sale is still underway. What makes it so good is that it’s a sale on sale, […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 881st Tablescape Thursday! There’s been a lot going on here at Dollhouse. You may remember the tree in my backyard that dropped a limb a while back. At that time, the tree company that removed the limb didn’t feel it necessary to remove the tree itself. Two weeks later, it dropped a much larger limb that landed in my neighbor’s yard. It didn’t land on anything, but after getting several estimates, it was recommended that it be removed. That whole area of the backyard ne...| Between Naps on the Porch
Have you been noticing all the fall, Halloween, and holiday decor that’s starting to appear in stores? I once asked about that when I was shopping in a Hobby Lobby, why they put holiday stuff out so early. They said that a lot of crafters start shopping during the summer months to be ready in time for the autumn and winter holidays. That made sense so now I don’t get so annoyed when I see those goods in the stores starting in mid-summer.| Between Naps on the Porch

I’ve been shopping the summer clothing sales, and there are some really great ones happening right now. Before we get to the sales, I have to share this top that I discovered today that reminds me so much of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer tops, but for a whole lot less. I love the design and the color! You’ll find this pretty floral top available here: Pretty Summer Top.| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 872nd Tablescape Thursday! Whew! Long drive yesterday! I’m back home in Georgia and will be working all day today cleaning off the porches. The pollen is knee-deep on both! Just before leaving the Dollhouse to head back, I received a lovely email from my friend, Linda, sharing a beautiful table she recently created.| Between Naps on the Porch
Those three full days of sunshine we had this past weekend have fired me up for some summer decorating! Of course, the rains and dark clouds have returned, but I have faith that the sun will be back again soon. It’s almost June, it has to come back, right?!| Between Naps on the Porch
