Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to my blog! My hope is to pass along ideas you will enjoy using in your homes and in your lives. No, I am not Oprah, giving you life advice or Nate Berkus redoing your pantry. My point of view is more practical if not occasionally foo-foo. Decorating should be fun and you should change your decor often. My ideas and vintage finds will help you do just that. Oh, and you may get some fun personal and family stories. We are a small family but we do a lot!



Since I started my blog a couple of years ago, I find I am writing more about "ideas" for your life. Or at least, things that happen in my life! Hopefully I put a smile on your face and help you set your dinner table.

A Wedding in the Family



This month, our beautiful daughter, married the love of her life in a beautiful intimate ceremony in New York City. It was a cold winter day but the sun showered us with warm rays for our city adventure. We traveled from Central Park to Brooklyn to the Hudson. What a glorious day it was. Soon I will post some pictures of the day and share my ideas for planning a perfect small wedding.

I feel today weddings have become an event rather than the purpose of the ceremony, joining two people for life.  My daughter succeeded in having a meaningful and beautiful wedding. It is possible. Look for more posts soon.

Mary Lisa is BACK

Hi, everyone! My last post was last June and I have missed the blog world. Between family and business I have been busy. Isn't that true for all of us? Well, I am not any less busy but I am going to return to posting ideas for you all and fun facts of an entertaining if not essential nature. Stick with me, there's fun stuff ahead!
