Flaky, buttery and filled with cream cheese and stick to your teeth chocolat. Yummy! I blame my mother and my European heritage that comes from her. This lovely etched dome pastry stand holds my weekly stash of goodness. My husband [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cottage Industry is hosting the 2008 Summer Garden Tour. Such a lovely idea and I can&#8217;t wait to see all the photos. Alas, poor pitiful me sold her garden last year &#8212; and I do so miss it. I&#8217;ve been invited to participate in the tour even though I&#8217;m limited to pots on the patio. I always, always wait [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I came upon these lovely tattered vintage porcelain roses, I instantly fell in love with them &#8212; chips and all. I&#8217;ve scattered them in the dining room where they look quite at home next to my blue willow, and in a cherub wall pocket in my bedroom. I confess that I have a love of roses &#8230; even the [...]]]></description>

We kept it simple at home this year &#8212; just my mom, brother, husband and I for a dinner of ham and sides with decadent cheesecake for dessert. I &#8220;cooked&#8221;. Here are the delicious mash potatoes I made. Shhhh, it&#8217;s a secret. Not really. Truth is I abhor cooking at all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During a neighborhood yard sale at our town home community, I traded a small portable kitchen island for this less than &#8220;Lovely&#8221; corner cabinet. An ugly duckling for sure, but it was the perfect size the the itty-bitty corner in our itty-bitty dining room. I knew it would be perfect for my Blue Willow. With a coat of paint, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe anyone who papers a wall should be required to sign a legally binding contract promising to return to the home at such time when the paper removing process occurs. I&#8217;m NOT kidding! Removing wallpaper can be quite the daunting task. I&#8217;ve scraped, used those rollie spike wheel contraptions, steamed and scraped some more. Here is the very best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love to crochet. I spent many years toiling over tablecloths and doilies &#8212; only to have an accident with a drink (wine, coffee, soda &#8212; you name it!) ruin my hard work. So I&#8217;ve focused on crocheted curtains instead. No one can possibly stain something hanging in a window, right? Haha &#8212; if it can be done, my hubby [...]]]></description>

The key to successful Serial Decorating is the possession of many multiple use pieces. This is my console table under the stairs that we pass several times a day. The blue Spode plate is epoxied to a crystal [...]]]></description>
