Czech Republic has many different regions and I had the opportunity to explore Liberec. Liberec is the second smallest region in the country, but it is a major cultural destination well-known for local glass and jewelry along with sandstone rocks and a mountain range. Liberec is found in the north of the country and shares borders with Germany and Poland. There's so much to see and do in the region, but I've narrowed it down to Fourteen Must See Places in Liberec Czech Republic. Sychrov ... Read More
Lest We Forget Poppy Cross Stitch Pattern
Remembrance Day is celebrated on 11 November by most Commonwealth Nations to remember members of the military who have died in conflict. It is celebrated on this particular date because it was the end of hostilities in World War I.

We're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI this year ... Read More

That place that resonates with us and gives us what we crave the minute we leave it. Maybe it’s the people you know there, maybe it’s the food you enjoy when you’re there, maybe it’s ... Read More
Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament
Candles are forever connected to Christmas Eve for me. When I was growing up, our Christmas Eve service always ended with everyone singing Silent Night while the lights were turned down and our candles were lit. While we used paper wax catchers and not fancy candle holders, my Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament brings a touch of sentimentality to our Christmas tree. It even sways gently, so the candle does the felt equivalent of flickering. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
A Day at Aberdour Castle
Aberdour Castle is located in Fife, just over the water from Edinburgh. Parts of it could be Scotland's oldest standing castle with later additions added. If you're a fan of Outlander, you'll recognize it from the first season.

From the immaculately kept kid-friendly grounds to the history inside the castle, you'll be glad you visited. The journey to Aberdour ... Read More
