If you’ve ever taken an image from Google search to use on your blog, you need to read this blog post. It’s both humiliating and anxiety inducing to write all of this down, but I’ve been carrying this secret for over a year now and I want to make sure that no other blogger has …

Several years ago I started a project that gave me a great excuse to hoard boxes of sweet and savory beads, vintage findings and tiny muslin bags away in my closet. Inspired by the show ponies of my childhood, and uninspired by the basic 'diaper pins' we had to fasten our stock ties in the show aren…

The Summer House has been so quiet because of the work dedicated to this large scale project - the RC Discovery Trail. Follow along for the brand launch and preview event the week of July 21, and learn more about this one-of-a-kind endeavor by "liking" their FB page!

The Discovery Trail project is always evolving. Since our first day of brainstorming until now; and every day that we work on the stations, new ideas arise or changes need to be made. As we have gotten closer to this project, we felt the brand needed to evolve as well...become more personal, flexible, dynamic.

As things become more real, we become even more excited to share this Trail with all of you. Next project: our web site. Follow along for the launch, the week of July 21!

To say that I am ready for spring, would be an understatement. I am not about to complain about our otherwise "mild" winters in NC {as my family in CT continues to get snow on a weekly basis}, but ... I am so ready for spring. Projects that tend to come across my desk this time of year are fresh "n...
