I still have a spoon ring and bracelet from the 70s. My spoon bracelet was given to me by my cousin Nancy for playing at her wedding. The spoon ring was a Christmas gift from Mom and Dad.

When my granddaughter, Amelia, was born, I purchased Felicity—the American Girl doll whose story is set in Williamsburg, Virginia—right when they announced that she would no longer be made. Truthfully, I went into full-blown panic. Williamsburg is one of my favorite places in the world. I love the history and everything about it. When American Girl introduced Felicity, I just …
Years ago when I found the living wreath, I was excited beyond belief. I quickly ordered one and set about to create my living wreath that would hang on the wall outside my kitchen window.
