If you are looking for a light, funny, gorgeously costumed TV show that will whisk you away to a warm sunny place, then you absolutely must watch The Durrells in Corfu. This series is simply a delight. It’s loosely based on the real-life story of the Durrell family — Louisa, Larry, Leslie, Margo & Gerald — in a book trilogy written by Louisa’s youngest son Gerry.
Set in the early 1930s, the show follows the quirky English family after they move to the island of Corfu in Greece....
Vintage & Antique Shopping Tour – Antique Alley in Honolulu, HI

Now that we are fully vaccinated and things are opening up here in Hawaii, we are able to get out and start exploring. I’ve wanted to film a vintage & antique shopping tour for a while now, but with COVID, it wasn’t possible. I was eager to visit this antique shop since we met the owner at a vintage faire when we first moved here. There aren’t that many antique or vintage shops on Oahu, and I miss the flea markets and antique malls so very much, so it was...
1940s Braided Headband

I love vintage braided crown hairstyles and as much hair as I have, you’d think I’d be able to manage a fantastic style using my own hair. But you know what? I’ve never been able to achieve the right look, so I went searching for a braided hair piece that would create the silhouette I wanted.
That’s when I found Stevie Rosalie, a vintage hairstylist and wigmaker. She offers these lovely 1940s braided headbands and she worked her magic to match my hair perfectly! I love it so much! I’m excited...

Since the pandemic, we’ve not be able to travel like we used to. So in order to not go completely insane being cooped up in the house, we just get in the car and drive. Mind you, Oahu isn’t expansive by any measure, but it helps to get out of the house and try and see some new sights.
As it was a lovely sunny day, not too hot yet, we stopped and took a few photos. We found this little beach with a small harbor. The ocean was so incredibly...
My Favorite Book Series

Last week I heard that my favorite author, Diana Gabaldon, had finally finished the ninth book in my favorite series, Outlander. I like to re-read the series before a new book comes out, and I know that it’s still quite a ways off, so I should have time. I like to reacquaint myself with the story and say hello again to the characters that I’ve come to know and love.
And this got me thinking that I’d like to share with you some of my favorite book series. Now, I’m not...
