Grandpa’s Daylilies
My grandparents used to run a plant nursery at their house located on a major road leading to Florence; the complete frontage of this property was occupied by a daylily field. When I was a kid, that daylily field was acres and acres wide. My grandparents can’t take care of the field as well as they used to, but the […]
Glass Fusion
In honor of America’s Birthday, I attended the North Carolina Fourth of July Festival in Southport, NC. One of the highlights of the day was visiting the craft fair in the park. My mom bought some beautiful iron pieces for ivy; I bought a beautiful vase from a local glass artisan, Stephanie Manke of Wilmington, NC. It was difficult choosing […]

Summertime Pasta Salad
For our family’s Father’s Day Gathering, I made a great pasta salad. When I was a kid, I avoided all mixed salads–pasta, potato, tuna, chicken.

A New Yorker was driving 120 when she saw the flashing lights in her rear view mirror. She pulled over. Bubba the deputy sheriff swaggered to her car and bawled out “Little lady, no one speeds through the great state of Georgia.”
Embroidered Landscape
This weekend, I was finally able to finish an embroidery I’ve been working on forever! Over a year ago, I bought a barely started cottage embroidery scene at the bi-monthly Lutheran Sale at the church near my house. I was thinking about starting a new embroidery that I bought at another flea market, and then realized the cottage was still […]
Fresh Garden Salsa
This is the second recipe JulepStyle.com received from my sister this weekend! This Light Salsa is the Topping for the Cornmeal Dusted Salmon, but also makes a great appetizer or snack on a hot summer day.
