Introduction Hi! My husband gave me the name Blondie a long time ago & it has stuck!

I enjoy gardening, reading, cooking, antiquing, decorating, needlework crafts. I love everything English Country style. We have a year round home in the country on a huge lake in Southwest Michigan where I am always renovating, redecorating, cooking, entertaining & relaxing! I hope you will follow along on my adventures!
