The crazy thing about hobbies is you can always change your mind and try something else. Many people think trying a hobby green house is just too expensive because if you don’t like it you have put all this money out with no return.

Artist Jacqueline Penney has lived and worked on Long Island all her life. Her gallery is located in Cutchogue, which is situated on the North Fork between Long Island Sound and Great Peconic Bay. There, surrounded by the sea and salt marsh, she finds ample inspiration for her lovely pastoral paintings and seascapes. Her painting, Inlet, is full of quiet charm. A tidal river meanders through an inlet flanked by wild flowers and white sand beaches. The summer blue sky is full of cottony clouds. An antique farm house appears from a thick stand of trees. A sailboat is moored below. In the far distance, the river empties to the sea. This peaceful scene has been recreated for your home as a tapestry. Hang it wherever you want to create an aura of tranquility and calm with your Inlet Tapestry. Read the rest of this entry »

My wife calls it an addiction; I call it love. It’s just something I have always gravitated too, outdoor structures from sheds and greenhouses to pergolas and arbors. Speaking of arbors, the Nantucket Arbor is a great cedar arbor for any occasion. I should probably know, I have two of them! They come in a kit that is so easy to put together; my wife and I did it in a couple of hours. I did set them in concrete and it was very similar to setting a fence post and it went like clockwork.
