Out of the darkness of the Pandemic comes a lovely afternoon announcing the impending nuptials of Jenna Claire and Corbin.

2021 helped ease the discomfort of a year I won’t mention. Multiple opportunities and events occurred allowing a break from quarantine. The vaccine gave me the opportunity to cautiously meet clients and even hugged someone other than Brandt…tears of joy. I was honored to be called upon to bring TimMagic to clients…old and new. Thus……

Back by request… When Fabulous Finds was released at Christmas I received suggestions that I make repeat it for each season. Since then I’ve been collecting for such a time as this. Spring affords the opportunity for new growth. As the trees bud, the grass sprigs, the birds build nests and we humans look forward…

As you plan to be…alone…with another…with a your quaranteam or a socially appropriate cluster… Fabulous food will make your holiday merry and bright.

We stopped on our return for…

I don’t see how some Supper Clubs meet with regularity. We were together for my birthday in September and by some stroke of luck got together again last evening.  Brandt and I hosted and the menu theme was Old School Recipes. When planning the tablescape I initially thought Old School would call for traditional.  However,…

let the bells ring out and clear ring out now for all to hear truth and love and hope abide this christmastide Many of you know Diva Kitty, our Sweet Baby Girl left us December 19th.  Saying that changed the spirit of Christmas for us is a vast understatement.  She was tiny but her spirit…
