Taking a Little Time...


As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been writing many posts recently or commenting as often on my favorite blogs.

Many of you have sent me emails asking if anything is wrong.  I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and concern...  I'm so amazed by the wonderful friends I have here in Blogland!

It's time for a bit of honesty.  I'm dealing with a serious health issue, and I need to take a little time to focus on getting better.

Thank you to all of my followers who still drop by and to the 2000+ readers who visit my site on a daily basis.  Your continued support means so much to me!

I hope that I'll be back to regular blogging in the near future, and I'll do my best to stop by and comment on your posts when I can...

Until then, take care and God Bless,

Wendi xo

Dreaming of Enchanting Garden Paths


I love to spend a lazy afternoon enjoying the warmth of the sun and leisurely strolling through a beautifully tended garden.

There's something so enchanting about following a garden pathway, lightly shaded by the gracefully bowing branches of sun dappled trees.

The lovely fragrance of a thousand blossoms fill the air as butterflies dance gracefully amongst the flowers to the sweet melody of birds in song.

Come take a walk with me...











I've loved exploring these enchanting garden paths with you!  Do you feel as relaxed and peaceful as I do?

In fact, I think that now might be the perfect time for a lazy afternoon nap!

Decorating Inspired by Sand and Sea

(Phoebe Howard)
One of my favorite colour schemes is a serene mix of watery blue and sandy beige.  This timeless palette creates an atmosphere that's as soothing as it is sophisticated.

Here are a few tastefully designed rooms that beautifully showcase the stunning colours of SAND and SEA.

Timeless Design: Elegant White Kitchens

(via Pinterest)
Interior designers and homeowners agree that a white kitchen is TIMELESS in its appeal.

White kitchens always appear fresh and current.  They embrace all design styles, from sleek and modern to country casual.

I'm naturally drawn to white kitchens that imbue a sense of classic elegance.  Here are a few of my current favorites...
