We just returned from a lovely little trip to the north of us. We started in Minneapolis with a reservation for supper at Pizzeria Lola. We learned about the restaurant watching Chef's Table on Netflix and dining there was how our vacation plans began. I started with an absolutely delicious bowl of olives (my husband … Read more
I just returned from spending a long weekend at the Gather Guest House & Creative Studio in Waunakee, Wisconsin with a group of paper crafting friends. I tried to narrow down what I took to work on, so I could stay more focused on creating. I started with an Anna Griffin holiday cardmaking kit. I … Read more
I had a perfect day yesterday wandering around Madison, Wisconsin … one of my favorite cities. I started the day at Atomic Antiques, which was basically a walk through my childhood. I’m pretty sure we had these mugs … but I surely know that we loved watching this show. I resisted those mugs, … Read more

I was so excited to get to have another Sisters' Week in 2022. We started the trip with some competitive rounds of croquet with family (I believe I managed to finish last every single round … I managed to hit the ball over the wicket instead of through it at least three times). … Read more
I finally got the opportunity to be in Des Moines for Art Week. We stayed at the Surety Hotel, which was the perfect location to access all of the activities (and a great stay). I wore one of my new t-shirts, which got lots of positive comments & asks where others could purchase it. … Read more
We just returned from a mini-vacation to Omaha and Des Moines, which involved lots of art and eats. Today I'm sharing our Omaha stay. Soon after landing at our hotel in Omaha, we ventured to Andersen O'Brian Fine Art, which was a gorgeously curated gallery filled with Nebraska artisans. My favorite piece was Red Origin … Read more
