Even though our addiction to electronic devices is for real, it seems that there has been a resurgence in our interest for board games and puzzles and all things “retro”. There is something very comforting about old-fashioned, vintage designs that take us back to a slower more laid-back time, which certainly resonates in the summer. Continue Reading

1. Made in the U.S.A.This American-born company is something to write home about. Their home decor division, which makes products of exceptional quality, came about as a result of their awareness of the “waste” being produced from their main sawmill and lumber company. After paying close attention to the amount of wood by-products were left after the processing of the trees, they decided to find a way to create something from that wood. This company holds “themselves environmentally responsible” (their own words) regarding the production process that they use in their factories. The home decor division, that produces the signs you see here, uses the boards and wooden shims that are cut off of the logs and boards in the lumber facility.
Not only do they use by-products to create these signs, but sawdust generated in their factories, helps to power buildings in their industrial complex and small pieces of wood chipped off and discarded in the manufacturing process are used as mulch for their landscaping operation.
This innovative and forward-thinking mindset has created a company that is earth-friendly, utilizing 100% of the trees they harvest! Now that is a progressive business!

For years now, people have been talking about the concept of “hygge” that is very central to the people in Denmark.
As the country’s official tourism website explains, the term hygge — pronounced “hue-ga” — roughly translates to “coziness,” but there’s so more to it than that: “Hygge means creating a warm atmosphere that promotes happiness and security; enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is hygge. Friends and family – that’s hygge too.”
We think the Danes have the right idea. This can be a bleak time of year. The sun goes down while most of us are still at work, and the world outside can seem like a white and grey desert for weeks at a time. Continue Reading

The days have suddenly gotten shorter, and the nights cooler. In the blink of an eye, the deep green leaves of summer are turning subtle shades of yellow and orange. Soon the trees will fully be ablaze with deep reds and the golden shades of autumn. Fall is here!
The signs are clear; there’s a bit of nip in the air, jacketed children wait on street corners for the early morning bus ride, the summer perennials are fading fast while the vibrant shades of Mums and Asters take over in the fall garden. Roadside stands offer pumpkins and gourds for sale. And perhaps most telling coffee shops have added pumpkin and spice flavors to their chalkboard menus.
The autumn season marks the transition in nature from summer into winter by the gathering of friends and family for the purpose of harvesting crops. In years past, the harvest season was one of great importance. It was often quite literally, the season that made survival during the winter months a possibility. Families, and whole communities, would gather together to work, bring in the crops, and celebrate nature’s provision for the cold months to come. Continue Reading
