Details on the Details

Warning you might want to grab a beverage and comfortable chair… The most important detail is how my relationship with the Babbage family began. A DC in 2017 for the youngest daughter of a long-time client…now chosen family led to me finally meeting the DC roommate; a bridesmaid. At our first meeting the roommate embraced…

Going to the Chapel

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

My Favorite Decor…2021

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……

Fabulous Finds Spring 2021

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…

FABULOUS Foods

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. This year I’ve used (looked at) recipes more than all my years put together. It goes without saying that often the recipe was available for reference but I didn’t follow it to…

Tim’s Fabulous Finds

We all have family and friends who as Mom would say, “don’t need a thing”. Yet, it’s still wonderful to celebrate the holidays with meaningful gifts. I enjoy following several bloggers who make it their business to know what there is to know about everything. Additionally, I do a fair amount of research to stay…

Pantry Potential

What’s in your pantry??? Self-isolation has me thinking about how long we could have meals without going to the grocery store. I’ve been making or buying fresh pasta since our first trip to Italy.  When I did a pantry inventory I realized I have some vintage pasta…seemingly just like it was the day it was…

What to do…What to do…

When self-isolated I’m sure you assume my go to is to cook.  Of course, your assumption is correct.  We are blessed in that the refrigerator, freezer and pantry are actually well stocked on a regular basis.  We did get out of the house yesterday for a scheduled medical procedure. We stopped on our return for…

Traditions and Trends

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,…

Twelve and Ten

When I wanted the weekend to hurry up, school to be out or “couldn’t wait” for Christmas Mom would always respond, “sweetie, don’t wish your life away…when you get to be my age you’ll want things to slow down”.  She never finished the sixth grade but was such a wise woman. When she turned sixty…
