2008-08-19 15:00:47 by casasugar in CasaSugar -- Home sweet home.
When I recently spent some time in my home state of Wisconsin, I was wowed by the gorgeous skies.

2008-08-18 15:00:00 by casasugar in CasaSugar -- Home sweet home.
In case you haven't noticed, I've had Morocco on my mind all year long. I've never met a Moroccan-style furnishing I didn't like, and the Wrapables Morocco Throw Pillow ($39, reduced from $52) is no exception.

For some, that may translate to kids running through the house wet from a sprinkler, and others, a fresh coat of paint and some perky new throw pillows. But, I try not to always advocate consumerism because it really shouldn't be necessary to buy, buy, buy with each new season. One simple...
