National Tribute Quilt – New York City

Frankoma Teapot on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 10 Comments/ 681

You may remember that I like teapots.  Just a little bit.  My love of teapots started years ago and has kind of grown over the years. When people find out that I collect them they start looking for them for me. Sometimes I get pictures. Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 9 Comments/ 629

I often sing the praises of our now hometown, Brevard, North Carolina, on It’s Just Life and in real life. Even though we live about 8 miles outside of the actual town we consider it our home and are always trying to explore new to Continue reading →

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...
