Is it really December? Well, of course it is! What a wonderful time of year! I just want to slow the days down! Way down! Last week, I told you that Mr. Wonderful and I flew the friendly skies, on our way to see family. I was truly amazed by how smoothly everything went. My prayers were answered! Our first stop was in San Antonio, to meet up with our daughter Betsy and her new family. We were welcomed by Betsy’s new in-laws, who made us feel like new members to their family. What a treat! It turns out…

Hello friends! I hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving, with good friends and yummy food! We ate out at a restaurant, for the first time I can remember! My only regret is that I didn’t order dessert! Betsy gave me a bite of her creme brûlée and it was outstanding! I was tempted to lick the bowl, but I resisted! Small Business Saturday is here! We have a number of great deals for you, to stretch your shopping dollar! My dear friend Tinker, modeled our fuzzy hooded jacket, with pockets. Keep in mind, Tink’s 5’ 2” and the jacket is…

Happy Thanksgiving! While you read this post, Mr. Wonderful and I will have hopefully checked our bags and made it through TSA, on the busiest travel day of the year. Have we lost our minds, you ask? Maybe, but when your daughter, whom you haven’t seen in forever, invites you to join her and her new family, including in-laws I haven’t met, I didn’t have to think twice! We are so very grateful to have you in our lives! We love being a part of the community and welcoming you to our home-away-from-home! Thanks so much for your generous support!…

Hello gorgeous! I hope you’re doing wonderfully! This season is always full of expectations and obligations. I’d like to take a minute to remind all of us to slow down. I don’t mean we should spend our days on the sofa…I mean slowing down just enough, that we have time to really listen to friends and family. To pay attention to some one that needs to know they matter to us. It’s so easy to over schedule ourselves, to the point we’re playing catch-up all day. We take pride in being productive and checking things off the list…when a little…

Greetings! The Treasured Home opens today, for our Holiday Open House! We’re packed with new arrivals and holiday treasures! My friend and floral artist, Penny Reisig, helped me create this pretty arrangement, this week. Not all holiday decor needs to be red and green, right? I just love the silly characters! They make me smile, when I see their faces! Besides, the holidays are for the children and making the rest of us feel like kids again! Mr. Wonderful harvested some pine cones, direct from Lake Tahoe. As usual, they’re free for our wonderful customers! Have someone hard to buy…

Hello again, beautiful! Lots has happened this past week, that I want to share with you! This is a long one, so grab your coffee and put your feet up! Jill came to town! Since we last visited, Sacramento had a history making storm and Jill, who used to keep things together for me at the shop, visited, with her girlfriend. They stayed with us and I’m not sure who was happier to see her…Micah, or us! I worried about her traveling during crazy weather, but it all worked out. She’s doing well and the “old Jill” is alive and…
