Our little Pot Luck Club got together at our house on Saturday for some Christmas merriment filled with delicious food and the funniest yankee swap ever. Upon arrival prosecco was served and we enjoyed Sara’s Devils on Horseback (bacon wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola cheese). Can I just say: yum? The sweet and salty all…

My ‘new’ Driftwood Sign For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted a sign to commemorate my favorite beach. In Scituate we are spoiled for many great beaches.

I came across this posting on The Old Block House’s site regarding a scrap garland they made. Here is their garland which they did…
