Blogger Style: Taby



I am excited to bring you another "Blogger Style" post. This time I'm sharing a look at the lovely home of Taby, the clever blogger behind The Closet Intellectual. Taby shares her home with husband Jeremy, their three children, three dogs and two cats.

The whole brood lives in a little 1971 house named Cecilia in the picturesque mountains of East Tennessee. "She had been a rental house for over 20 years and horribly, horribly abused when we bought her," says Taby. "We've been nursing her back to health over the past ten years."

Around Here


After a very busy weekend away, it was nice to return home on Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, we had taken some time to tidy up before we left. Nothing worse than coming home to a giant mess.

Christmas Memories...and a game of tag




Christmas Eve is a week away and, to me, that means time for cookies...lots of 'em! I always make a bunch of cookies and display them on this pretty blue and white tiered stand that my mom gave me. More about our holiday cookie tradition below.

On the bottom of this lovely dish it says: Hand Engraving, Old Foley, Chrysanthemum, James Kent, Staffordshire, England.

The dish is all ready...now I just have to get started making those cookies!

I Got Bitten by the Blog Bug!


The beautiful and talented Tabetha over at The Closet Intellectual very kindly nominated my wee blog for a Blog Bug! I am honoured that she would pick me. As she said in her nomination, we met via our blogs, but I could surely see myself hanging out with her in real life.

Tabetha is a history professor who lives in a small Tennessee mountain town with her husband and three teens. Be sure to check out her blog and read about her fabulous craft projects, her daily inspirations, her favourite fashions and her lovely family. Can you believe that's where she lives (above)?
