Books and Wines

Let’s enjoy a drink.

To start off with I’m taking you from drinking fine wines to enjoying flavorful hot teas and coffees. I’ll even include some weight loss ideas. I’ll be sharing tips on using essential oils. This is yet another art from the Eastern world that the Western world is finally embracing. The health benefits will blow you away.

Tea anyone?

Endless explorations.

The great outdoors has always been a passion of mine so be on the lookout for more about simple gardening and other great ways to enjoy being outside. There are a lot of beautiful, natural wonders I’ve seen and many more I’ve yet to experience personally. I’m excited about sharing these with you.

When at home.

There will be times when outdoor activities won’t be accessible. Not to worry, I can hardly wait to share crafting ideas with you. I love to sew. There’s always a project ready to conquer and always fun new ideas to make everything from hats & bags to doll clothes, from slip covers to fantastic costumes.

On a rainy day.
