On October 28, 2021, we closed on the purchase of our home in the Raleigh region of North Carolina. We relocated to NC in May 2021 after 10 additional years in California, where my husband completed his life long career in Electrical Engineering- Hydro electricity. Originally from Ohio and Michigan, and having lived in the Southeast early in our marriage, we desired to return to that region of the country.

The Nook began during our years in MA and continued during our years in NH, AK and our second stint in California. For over 22 years, I have invited people into my home to scrapbook, for card making, wreath making and much more. It has been a blessing to many, not to mention myself.
After the holidays, I held 3 Open Houses for the Nook in early January 2022. The three events were opportunities to introduce new neighbors, new friends and acquaintances to my craft room and what it has to offer.
If you live in the Raleigh area, please contact me and come check out the Nook.

From time to time we have special lunches in the Nook. The soup pictured above has been a favorite! I thought I would post the recipe here! Enjoy!
