Valance Ideas – Casual, Elegant, Fabulous, or Funky

Valance Ideas – Casual, Elegant, Fabulous, or Funky

It seems like it’s been awhile since I shared any window treatments with you, so I thought it might be nice to catch up, and show you a few of the things I’ve been working on. Valances seem to be at the top of everyone’s window treatment wish list lately. They offer a great look […]

A Place to Call Home

A Place to Call Home

There’s such a sweet story behind this painting, and I’d love to share it with you. It’s about the excitement of starting a life together and finding a place to call home. A Place to Call Home, 14″ x 20″, by Leslie Fehling I received a call one day last spring from a nice young […]

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 7 – Heading Home

It was our last (*sniff*) day (*sniff*sniff*) with our friends, Mary and Bernadette, and our driver, Danny. Our 7-day tour was almost over, and my mom and I were sad to leave them and head out on our own once more. I was dreading having to get behind the wheel again, this time with a […]

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 6 – The Burren and Beaches

It would be impossible to choose a favorite out of all the wonderful places we visited in Ireland, but the Burren stands out in my mind as one of the best. Fields of limestone in the Burren, County Clare The rugged landscape of the Burren (Irish for “stony place”) is made up of layers of […]

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 5 – The Cliffs of Moher

We really enjoyed our stay in Dingle town. The pub at our hotel offered live music in the evening, so we finally had a chance to hear some wonderful, foot-stompin’ traditional Irish music. And my mom and I had our first Irish coffees! Mmmmm! We had a free morning in Dingle to wander around and […]

After a hearty Irish breakfast, we set off on the fourth day of our tour. The morning was misty and overcast, but the views were still wonderful.

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 3 – Beara Peninsula & Ring of Kerry

Our Driftwood Tour of Ireland wasn’t like a typical tour at all – no big buses or crowds of people. It was more like having a friend show you some of his favorite places. We went off the beaten track often, and saw so much more than I could have on my own, places only […]

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 2 – Kilkenny, Cork, & Castles

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 2 – Kilkenny, Cork, & Castles

Our last day in Northern Ireland started out at a magical place called The Dark Hedges. Out in the countryside of Country Antrim, this wonderful hidden gem of a place is an allée of 300 year old beech trees that originally led to a manor house, but now simply connects two small county roads. It […]

Ireland 2011 – Chapter 1 – The Adventure Begins

Well, I’ve had a chance to catch my breath and begin to sort through all the photos I took during my trip to Ireland. If you’ve ever been there, I hope this photo tour will bring to mind good times and happy memories. If you’ve always dreamed of going, as I did for the past […]
