Picture Frame Molding Gallery Wall (Inspiration, Tools, and Preparation) from Nikki, In Stitches

Two summers ago, before life seemed to come to a screeching halt and COVID shrank our world down to whatever we could fit inside our four walls, my husband and I took our little family to England for what ended up being the most amazing eight days of our lives.

Of all the pictures we took on the trip, the image above always seems to rise to the top of my list of favorites.

My husband and my children, my whole world…looking like they have Hampton Court Palace all to themselves. Ha!

Of all the places we traveled to ...

Part 4 of Across the Pond - Grotto anyone? from Tales from the Raspberry Rabbits

Hi ya! Are you worn out with my England vacation yet? LOL! I promise, there are only a few more posts to go. I must say that I have truly enjoyed living it all over again. Of course, it also makes me want to go back right away!

As I mentioned before, we visited, and truly enjoyed, the National Trust Properties. I know if I lived in England, I would be a member so I could go to these properties all the time. They are absolutely wonderful!

Oh my gosh was Stourhead a magical place! One of my all time ...

Hi my friend! As promised I am back this week with the second part of my journey across the pond to England. So let's go for a stroll through some magnificent pieces of architecture and gardens shall we?

Our first adventure took us to Bath. We rode a train there and it was such a fun ride through the countryside. Bath is an incredibly beautiful city and seeing the ancient Roman Baths was a sight to behold.


What was truly amazing is standing somewhere that is was so old. The temple was built between 60-70 AD. The pure genius ...

Best Friends - Part 1 of Across the Pond from Tales from the Raspberry Rabbits

Best friends are the fairytale of life. They've been there since Once Upon a Time



and will be there till Happily Ever After.



October 4th, my best friend of forty years, Beth Gill and I set off on an adventure across the pond to England. Neither of us has ever been out of the country. Our husbands don't travel well and they weren't really interested in going. So having "girlfriend time" without pouting husbands on this incredible trip, was yet another gift. The first photo was from our first trip together when we were 14. We went ...

A Quilt Shop Stop and the Inspirational English Countryside from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

As a child, I (Kara) lived in England while my father was stationed there with the Air Force. Our family had a bright, orange Volkswagon van that carried us to the many wonderful places throughout the island for our holidays. Ever since that time, I have always loved Britain—the cities, the countryside, and especially the people.

My husband often has to travel there for work, and anytime I can tag along, I will. On one of our previous visits, I visited the shop Bee Crafty and met some wonderful ladies (you can read about that here), so I decided ...
