Hello! Welcome to the Happy List. I’m glad you’re here. This week on the blog I shared the colorful outdoor umbrellas that had me dreaming about summer and dining outside. I also discussed wood bowls and shared the one thing I don’t use them for. I’m trying to get over that. If you haven’t already weighed in on the wood bowl discussion, let me know your thoughts. As always, thank you for being here. It’s so rewarding to connect with each and every one of you. I’ve made the best online friends through this website.

Hello! Happy Good Friday and early Easter to those of you celebrating. I’m so glad you’re sharing part of your day with me. This week on the blog I shared all the ways I have decorated wood Easter eggs. I love those little orbs so much! I also shared how my porch plants have fared after spending the winter vacationing on my sunporch. The sunporch is a favorite spot around here in the dead of winter for plants and humans because it becomes toasty warm on sunny days. As always, thank you for being here. Truly. It means the world to us and helps keep the lights on. If you…

Why, hello there! Welcome to this week’s Happy List! This week on the blog I shared how the gaps in our wood floors are doing after I filled them with oakum two and a half years ago. Long story short, the experiment continues. And in other old house news, I also wrote about the stone steps leading into our basement. We’re not sure when those steps were added but we love that they aren’t made of wood. As always, thank you for being here. Truly. It means the world to us and helps keep the lights on.

Welcome to the Happy List. Top o’ the morning to you! I’m glad you’re here. This week on the blog I shared how our living room has evolved in the last five years and how many throw pillows I have accumulated in that time. At this rate, we’ll be overrun with throw pillows in short order. I also shared on the blog the one thing we did not anticipate, or maybe buried in the back of our brains when it comes to repointing the stone walls in our basement. Now we are living with our choices. Ha! As always, thank you for being here. If you want to connect with…

Hello and welcome to this week’s Happy List! I’m delighted you are here! I hope the first week of March treated you well. On the blog this week I shared an Easter craft. Easter will be here before we know it. I used gold leaf to decorate wood eggs and I think they look very sophisticated. Let me know if you try this technique. I also shared the St. Patrick’s Day floral arrangement I made with a more subtle nod to Ireland’s favorite holiday. Multiple holiday ideas in one week. Phew! Maybe I should take next week off. Ha! As always, thank you for being here. If you want to…

Hello, Hello! Happy first day of March! January felt like it lasted forever but February flew by. This week on the blog I shared the origin story of why we are currently doing work on our basement. We keep telling ourselves it will be worth it when we are done. I also shared the LED rechargeable lamp that has brought me so much joy at dinner time. As always, thank you for being here.

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m so glad you are here. This week on the blog I shared the hidden meaning behind a reclaimed wood tray we made. If you haven’t read it yet, I think you’ll like the ending of that story. I also wrote about when and where to use rechargeable lightbulbs so that you aren’t disappointed that they don’t work as long as regular lightbulbs. As always, thank you for being here.

Hello! Welcome to the Happy List. I’m delighted you are here. This week on the blog I shared a personal post about our wedding anniversary. Thank you all for your well wishes and kind words. It meant a lot to us. I also shared a blog post about the cutest wood heart planters. I think they could also be called scalloped planters depending on how you looked at them. Either way, it’s a fun DIY. Once again, thank you for being here. Don’t be a stranger. We like talking to you!

Hello and Happy Groundhog Day. I’m so glad you’re here for another round of the Happy List! I am publishing this before the groundhog does his thing, but I’m really hoping spring is right around the corner. This week on the blog I shared a round up of 10 thrift store treasures that have come home with me lately. It’s fun to add up the purchases to see if I’ve gotten a bang for my thrifting buck. I also shared pictures of our new living room curtains. They are velvet and hang so nicely. Our living room has been a slow evolution. Don’t tell Handy Husband, but it’s going to…
