Random thoughts on a sunny Saturday Easter weekend:

1. Happy Easter. Wishing you joy and renewal and happy celebration.

2. I’m about to go to tag sales—that’s what they call them up here at the Cape. And I saw signs yesterday so I’m heading out this morning.

Wish me luck.

    If I were stranded on a desert island (ok, make that Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard), and IF I could only have access to one blog, it would be Thistlewood Farms. Thank you for inspiration, joy, and life tips!
