Do you recognize this gorgeous light? I think I shared a different view of it last year after Miss Rosie and I visited LONGWOOD GARDENS in Pennsylvania, and after our most recent visit I am still in love with it. We’ll see more of it below, but first a recap of my life the last three months. December started out…
Welcome to a new edition of The Adventures of My Traveling Totes! This time we are spotlighting our large totes, so you will see only my Miss Poppy. Miss Poppy is usually stuffed full, as she holds everything without complaining and gets heavy enough to be carried by Mr. Fun, which of course she loves. Above you can see her…
Miss Rosie is often the stimulus for a conversation with strangers. People stop me to ask if she is a MacKenzie-Childs bag, and we converse happily but I NEVER reveal her name. Sometimes people will help as she poses on steps and railings. But this summer, as I stood in line waiting to talk to Susan Branch, balancing a pile…
Miss Rosie and Miss Posie ~~~~ went to tea with a blueberry–peach cake to share, They sipped on some honey, so glad it was sunny, ~~~~ And could think of no joy to compare. Miss Rosie said, “Let’s never let this day end, ~~~~ Without sharing with fans near and far, Oh friendly Posie!…
This Spring has been absolutely delightful in the northeast, with cool temps (but no sudden frosts!), and April showers bringing May flowers, so Miss Rosie and I have been garden hopping! GARDEN # 1 One fine day in April, Miss Rosie, Mr. Fun and I stopped at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. The tulips were in full bloom, and most…
Hello friends of the Traveling Tote Adventures! Since last we met I understand that my tote, Miss Rosie, took the opportunity to tell you of our summer travels (here)! She was so pleased with herself that she then retired for the winter to a life of rest and leisure, and my other totes, Miss Posie and Dot, joined me for…
***** I’m Miss Rosie, otherwise known as Linda’s MacKenzie-Childs Traveling Tote, and based on the amount of time I spend with her, I would say that I’m a favorite. I’ve been waiting to speak for awhile now, and since Linda can think of absolutely nothing to say about this past summer, she is giving me a chance! Above you see me…
CHEERS! My traveling tote has been enjoying her summer travels, and now she and her fellow totes want you to have some fun too, trying to guess where they have been. So tell me this: In what city are Miss Rosie and I enjoying this Sam Adams summer ale? Visit all six traveling toters to guess where their totes have been.…
~~ covered bridge with ice on mill pond ~~ Old Sturbridge Village ~~ It’s June and during the last month we’ve had a few trips to the seaside for rejuvenating infusions of salty air, so when I opened my files of Traveling Tote photos I was surprised to find that this session of outings began with a cold, snowy day, just three…
You’ve probably heard that when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping, and since it has been very tough to set a pretty table on my deck, or under my pink tree, or down on the lower deck, I decided to brave my driveway (it’s somewhere under that snow) and take my MacKenzie-Childs Traveling Tote, Miss Posie, shopping. I’m a…
