Exceptional Home Designs by Architects Johnston Marklee

Exceptional Home Designs by Architects Johnston Marklee. Perched on a hillside with picture windows facing the horizon, the open-concept plan maximizes the incredible views, from Rustic and Sullivan Canyons to Santa Monica Bay.

Pin It Yay! Despite a setback of being without electricity for almost five days (we did finally get it back today) DearLillie.com is finally live and open for business. We will be adding new products that weren't quite ready to go over the next several days and weeks. Please note with our new site we will no longer be taking custom orders and everything that is available for purchase is already made and ready to ship. For some of the products there are limited quantities (like scarves and some of hats) and once they are sold out it may be a while before they will be restocked. And now onto the winner of the $50 Dear Lillie Gift Card: Congratulations to Vida! Please send us an e-mail at dearlillie@hotmail.com to collect your prize! Thank you all for "sharing" our site with all of your friends! We appreciate it so much! And thank you all for sticking with us over these past few months while we were closed!  Have a wonderful Thursday! ...

So, 2 books, several glasses of wine, one too many afternoon siestas (purely out of boredom),10 sore fingers from texting family and friends, countless boxes of cookies and bags of chips, several candlelit meals,and many many prayers later.....here I am back at The Enchanted Home!! And oh what a relief it is! This post is one which I had worked on last week to post one day this week so seeing that there is no time li...

Where We Learn…

Hey all my friends!  I know a lot of you know that we homeschool our children.  We began homeschooling when our son started Kindergarten and he just started college this week.  We also homeschool our two other children; one a junior and the other in 3rd grade. My husband and I have counted it as such a blessing to be able to teach our children at home, even though we all teach our children at home, don’t we?  We just felt led to keep them at home when school time came around.  I am so thankful that God called us to this job.  It has been very rewarding and also very difficult at times.  Oh, did I tell you that I am the teacher and my husband the principal?  Yeah, he gets a kick out of saying that he is the principal.  That’s fine with me because he is also the math and science teacher when the material gets too tough for me to understand.  Right now, our oldest homeschool child does most of her work independently in her room.  (exce...
