Fun Facts about Kim

I love rusty things, herbs, chocolate, reading and dogs.

How to Create a Rustic Inspired Autumn Tablescape

A classic picture of me with my husband:  we are at a party…. I am reading a magazine and Dave is talking! 

I drink a lot of Ice Tea and Diet soda.

I love to be on the water…. Not necessarily in the water but on it .  My favorite way to travel is via a cruise ship.  I think I could live on a cruise ship… well maybe not since I like to have a lot of stuff.

 

Definitely not the most flattering picture of me!  I am sure it is the way I am sitting, but I look pregnant!

Contrary to what my husband says, I am not a hoarder!  And although I have downsized considerably over the last 3 1/2 years, I will never be a minimalist!

I am an only child. I was quite sheltered and over protected.  I didn’t learn to light a match until I was 19 and I have yet to mow a lawn. My  mother might possibly have been the first helicopter parent in 1960.  I am an introvert and don’t normally do well at extemporaneous speaking but I did ROCK my 2 appearances on CI Living in Champaign, Il when I spoke about Makin’ Pizza.  Speaking of pizza, pizza is my favorite food!

I discovered baton twirling as a young child.  Twirled baton as a teenager.  I even won a few trophies and medals!

When I turned 50, I took lessons again so I could surprise my parents by twirling in the Homecoming parade!  I was actually better at twirling 2 batons at the same time when I was 50 than I was in my teens!

Herbs:

    Kim did an awesome job twirling for her parents. She worked very hard to regain that skill!

Today marks my official blogaversary, and this yea Today marks my official blogaversary, and this year I’m celebrating the little fragrant leaf that launched my herb‑loving life. Scented geraniums were the spark that started it all — from herb shows to teaching classes to rediscovering them here in Florida. It feels like coming full circle. 🌿💗

Seventeen years ago today, I volunteered on the Ex Seventeen years ago today, I volunteered on the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition build in Philo, Illinois — a day that still feels as vivid as ever.

From prepping pots at the shop to seeing the landscaping come together, to standing off to the side during the reveal… it was one of those rare experiences where community, generosity, and purpose all collide in the best possible way.

There’s a photo in here of me with Will and Debbie — two wonderful people who volunteered alongside me that day. Will always wore those sunglasses; I still can’t see the sunglasses emoji without thinking of him. Both have since passed, and that picture has become a little treasure from a day we shared together.

I added a few newly rediscovered photos to my blog post this year, and it reminded me how meaningful it was to be part of something hopeful and lasting.

I pulled together this simple patriotic vignette with vintage touches, soft blues, and a few gentle pops of red. It’s amazing how a little fabric, a postcard, and a favorite finial can turn into something sweet for summer.

If you love soft Americana style, this one’s for you. ❤️🤍💙
