The end of May marked my 2nd anniversary of buying this cottage home, a home I often refer to as the Dollhouse because of its many adorable dollhouse-like features. Over the next few weeks, for Metamorphosis Monday, I’ll share some of the updates I’ve made since acquiring this cottage, […]]]> https://betweennapsontheporch.net/its-been-2-years-since-i-moved-into-the-dollhouse-its-not-been-all-roses/feed/ 17 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/how-did-the-faux-flowers-hold-up-can-i-use-them-two-years-in-a-row/ https://betweennapsontheporch.net/how-did-the-faux-flowers-hold-up-can-i-use-them-two-years-in-a-row/#comments Sat, 06 Jun 2026 11:08:46 +0000 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/?p=159366 Happy Weekend! I’ve been going non-stop since I arrived back at the Dollhouse last Sunday. This is birthday week, the week when my son, one of my grandsons, and my daughter-in-law all have their birthdays. That’s 3 birthday celebrations in the space of 7 days! In the midst of all that, I’ve been getting estimates […]]]> https://betweennapsontheporch.net/how-did-the-faux-flowers-hold-up-can-i-use-them-two-years-in-a-row/feed/ 12 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/a-whimsical-tablescape-in-celebration-of-winnie-the-pooh-turning-100-years-old-this-year/ https://betweennapsontheporch.net/a-whimsical-tablescape-in-celebration-of-winnie-the-pooh-turning-100-years-old-this-year/#comments Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:06:25 +0000 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/?p=159338 Welcome to the 906th Tablescape Thursday! Were you a fan of Winnie the Pooh books when you were growing up? On October 14 of this year, Winnie-the-Pooh turns 100 years old! October 14th is the centennial celebration of the publication of A.A. Milne’s original Winnie-the-Pooh book.

I’m back at the Dollhouse. The weather for the drive up was perfect! Beatrice and Agatha were so good during the trip; they are such great little travelers. I stopped every couple of hours to let them get out of their carrier so they could potty, eat, drink, and […]]]> https://betweennapsontheporch.net/7-updates-in-two-months-i-was-on-a-mission-lesson-learned-give-yourself-a-deadline/feed/ 15 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/pairing-my-new-lilly-pulitzer-like-coat-with-my-lilly-pulitzer-dresses/ https://betweennapsontheporch.net/pairing-my-new-lilly-pulitzer-like-coat-with-my-lilly-pulitzer-dresses/#comments Fri, 29 May 2026 21:05:23 +0000 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/?p=159297 Recently, I shared this pretty floral Car Coat that reminds me so much of Lilly Pulitzer clothing. I ordered it and was absolutely blown away by the quality and the design of the coat. I thought it would be nice based on all the amazing reviews, but it still exceeded my expectations. It’s fully lined, […]]]> https://betweennapsontheporch.net/pairing-my-new-lilly-pulitzer-like-coat-with-my-lilly-pulitzer-dresses/feed/ 7 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/found-them-they-come-in-blue-white-too-plus-the-best-peanuts-ive-ever-tasted/ https://betweennapsontheporch.net/found-them-they-come-in-blue-white-too-plus-the-best-peanuts-ive-ever-tasted/#comments Thu, 28 May 2026 13:40:04 +0000 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/?p=159178 Welcome to the 905th Tablescape Thursday! Remember these cute rechargeable lamps I shared recently in this table setting?   Back when I set that table, I could not find them online, but last night I located them here: Rechargeable, Dimmable Floral Lamps with 3 Light Options. They are the same price that I paid.

Just a few weeks ago, I was complaining about how almost every lamp I come across in stores these days is designed with a drum shade, my least favorite style of lamp shade. The main thing I don’t like about drum shades is how open they are at the […]]]> https://betweennapsontheporch.net/lamp-shopping-in-homegoods-so-many-unique-designs/feed/ 8 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/musical-lamps-again-and-cats-in-high-places/ https://betweennapsontheporch.net/musical-lamps-again-and-cats-in-high-places/#comments Mon, 25 May 2026 15:40:44 +0000 https://betweennapsontheporch.net/?p=159184 Welcome to the 904th Metamorphosis Monday! I’ve been playing Musical Lamps again, while the cats seem to be playing a game of Musical Cats. (Remember the old childhood game, Musical Chairs, that was often played at parties?)

I’ve been shopping the sales and have made some purchases that I’m looking forward to receiving.

On a recent trip to HomeGoods, I purchased a really pretty vase. It was the inspiration for this week’s tablescape. A few days ago, I noticed the Dharuma hydrangea near my mailbox was in full bloom. Perfect, I thought!
