Favorite quotes

"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life."

~William Morris

"Part of the adventure in life is not always knowing what's going to happen next, and the next part may be grander than your original plan. The key to enjoying the journey is being open to the unknown."

~Kristine Carlson

Whimsy is a private joke between you and your house. A sweet, sort of private joke that reminds you not to take life--or decorating--too seriously. Whimsy is a reminder to smile as often as possible. Rooms need a bit of comic relief--just a little object that you can find during a tense moment, something that says, "Look, it could be worse: you could be a pig with wings, okay? Sheesh!"

~ Michael Lee West

"You can't make a garden in a hurry, particularly one belonging to an old house. House and garden must look as if they had grown up together, and the only way to do this is to live in the house, get the feel of it, and then by degrees the idea of the garden will grow.”

~We Made A Garden by Margery Fish

“I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it. You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare.”

~ Tasha Tudor
