Gnome for the Holidays

Hello, and welcome to my blog, Panoply. Today I'm happy to be sharing the beginnings of Christmas and winter decor with a tablescape for you.

Tales of the Traveling Tote #41 and Giveaway

Hello, readers, and welcome to Panoply! Today marks the 41st instalment of the Tales of the Traveling Tote, can you believe it? That's over ten years of quarterly tales of ladies connecting friendship and stories of our everyday lives via a MacKenzie-Childs tote we all purchased at one time or another.
