About Me

Beautiful things inspire me/awaken a desire to create. "Nesting"--whether re-arranging closets and kitchen cabinets, cooking, setting a beautiful table, is all for my family, and it's when I am the happiest. I love color--the serene, fresh colors of the beach, the vibrant colors of traditional home decor, the colors of every season. And I love the "hunt"--for new dishes, a new pillow, candles and candleholders, sterling and everyday stainless, fine crystal and the just plain pretty. I hope your visit to Chickadee Home Nest is inspiring and enjoyable as I share my home, ideas, treasures--vintage and new--and my photography. You won't find much stuffiness here, even with the silver and crystal, because my goal is always to surround ourselves with beautiful things that create a comfortable environment. My husband and I have been blessed with 3 awesome sons and their darling wives who have given us 5 of the sweetest, cutest, smartest grandbabies ever. Thanks so much for stopping by.
