The Characters We Meet in Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 446

You have met them.  Those characters who live life outside the box.  Who refuse to conform.  Who are comfortable in their own skin. Those who march to the beat of their own drummer. Meet Danny. I have shared Danny with my readers before but I Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots, Writing/ 7 Comments/ 652

Teapot Tuesday features many fun teapots and today’s teapot is one I bought in 2011 from a seller on Etsy. I think you will have to admit that this one is fun and eye catching at the same time. I think this has to be Continue reading →

Bitten in Brevard

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 391

Apparently it is still mosquito season in Brevard and surrounding areas. I absolutely hate it but it is true. Two weeks ago I got a nasty spider bite. I was anticipating amputation of my lower leg because it lasted a loooonnnngggg time. Good news. It Continue reading →

Teapot Tuesday – The Kitchen Sink

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots, Writing/ 14 Comments/ 396

Teapots and kitchen sinks don’t really go together, do they? Well, yes, yes they do. My trip to Ohio last week also included a quick lunch with my pal, Sal, from our days in Pennsylvania. She is cleaning in anticipation of a permanent move to Continue reading →

What’s Your Fortune?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 676

I love reading fortunes found in fortune cookies and usually have a cache of fortunes stuck in the change compartment of my wallet. We haven’t found a great Chinese place to eat around Brevard so my number of fortunes has diminished somewhat but I cleaned Continue reading →

A Walk Through the Conservatory

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel, Writing/ 8 Comments/ 448

The Conservatory at the Biltmore is one of our favorite places to visit on the estate. Who am I kidding? All aspects of the Biltmore are wonderful but there is just something about seeing all of the loveliness that the Conservatory holds that makes my Continue reading →

I Am a Limited Edition

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 453

A limited edition… That phrase gave me a little pause when I saw it in some of my scrapbooking papers. The more I thought about it the more I loved it. We are ALL limited editions. I thought I knew what “limited” meant but as Continue reading →

Musings for a Monday Morning

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 416

Good morning (or afternoon or evening or whenever you are reading this) to you. I am feeling a bit reflective at the moment and sometimes it just seems right to spend a bit of time writing those reflections down so I can retrieve them later. Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
