		<title>Merry Christmas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our neighborhood will be hosting a holiday market and home tour next weekend, so I decided to get a jump on the holiday season and decorate early. My house isn&#8217;t on the tour, but I decorated my front stoop and put up my tree, since it can be seen from the street. 
Oh, Christmas Tree! [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=391&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Drapes for winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been making heavy drapes for all of my doors and windows over the past few years. It gets pretty cold here in the winter, and my doors are especially drafty. When I re-did the downstairs (stripey) hallway this summer, I got a remnant of a gorgeous teal fabric ($28), and yesterday I found [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=376&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On WordPress, one can see which search terms people have used to get to one&#8217;s site. Today a search term that brought someone to my site was &#8220;creepy basement&#8221; &#8211;

		<title>&#8220;Grace Flows Down&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought this GORGEOUS painting titled &#8220;Grace Falls Down&#8221; at the Mattoon Arts Festival this year. It&#8217;s by artist Catherine Gibbs of Westfield, MA.
I saw it on her web site when she signed up for the festival and thought it was lovely then, but seeing it in person just floored me. What a wonderful painting.

		<title>Garden Tour, Sept. 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some years we have a garden tour as part of our arts festival, and 2009 was one of those years. So I tidied up my garden, filled up the fountain, and let the sun do its thing. Here are a couple of photos I&#8217;m planning to look at over the winter to remind me of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=361&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>King Cricket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had this big cricket hanging out in my garden for a few days, but I haven&#8217;t seen him for a while. I call him King Cricket because he&#8217;s so big. He has these really soulful eyes, and I just love to look at him. He has stripey legs, but I think he may be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=357&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Getting ready for the festival&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a fantastic arts and crafts festival on our street every year &#8212; it&#8217;s always the weekend after Labor Day. There is a magical moment on the street when all the cars are gone, and the street is swept clean, and no one is around&#8230;. and then the exhibitors start setting up. But here [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=350&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Darkening things up nicely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As one of the final touches for the stripey hallway, I looked high and low (okay, only on the Internet) for black and white polka dot clip-on chandelier shades. To no avail. The closest I found were perforated black and white shades made by Kathy Ireland and sold at LampsPlus. They were $9.99 a piece, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=345&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My kitchen is really nice. My house had been a boarding house for single men since at least the 1930s. Each room had its own gas stove and sink. Hence, no need for a kitchen. In the room that has become my lovely kitchen, there was a barely-used all-in-one sink-stove-fridge dealie (now in the butler&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=334&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
