Domestic Dilettante: My Mantels
http://domesticdilettante.blogspot.com/p/my-mantels.html
Years ago, before we had a home with a fireplace, I dreamed of having a beautifully decorated mantel, and I imagined it would be fun to keep it updated and tasteful - never dusty, out of scale, or (horrors) boring. Like many things in life, reality is different from the vision. Since I'm always trolling for pictures of mantels and looking for fresh inspiration, I thought I'd create a little gallery of photos here - to inspire others with similar architectural challenges, offer some hope (or consolation!

Domestic Dilettante: October 2011
http://domesticdilettante.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Oct 31, 2011. Day of rest, week 8: no treats. Today is my least-favorite holiday. Last year, I gave an explanation as to why I don't do Halloween anymore. And I realize that makes me a bit of an oddity among my friends. (But so does my Sunday-day-of-rest thing, so I'm 2 for 2! As a non-Catholic, I just can't celebrate Halloween as "All Hallow's Eve." If I don't celebrate All Saints Day, it would be disingenuous to claim to celebrate its eve. I avoid this holiday? While I know everyone won't jump on this ...

http://domesticdilettante.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Jul 30, 2011. A Bounty of Figs. What does any of that have to do with real figs? Why nothing, of course. But I did have a bounty of them drop into my lap this week. Despite my canning ambiguity. Yesterday morning I started with this - about 3 quarts of figs, washed and stemmed. It's a miracle there were any left after I started nibbling on them. Fig preserves; they're like sunshine in a jar. How many kettles does it take to can? Is it worth it? Other posts about canning foods. Jul 29, 2011. And surprisin...

Domestic Dilettante: November 2011
http://domesticdilettante.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Nov 30, 2011. Recipe of the Week: Cinnamon "Gingerbread" Ornaments. December's recipes will focus on holiday foods, but to kick things off, I'll start with one of my all-time favorite crafts: cinnamon dough for "gingerbread" men and women. This recipe is quick, easy and the results will smell good for years to come - I've had my ornaments for at least five or six years and they still exude the scent of cinnamon when I open their storage tin each year. Cinnamon dough for "gingerbread" ornaments. Line a co...

Dec 31, 2011. Time for renewing my resolve. To borrow from Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter," the time has come. Do you remember the poem, recited by Tweedledee and Tweedledum? This is the one stanza that always sticks in my mind.). The time has come," the Walrus said,. To talk of many things:. Of shoes- and ships- and sealing-wax-. Of cabbages- and kings-. And why the sea is boiling hot-. And whether pigs have wings.". Gotta love Calvin and Hobbes. Even the word "resolution" has some intere...
