What does one put on a wedding registry for a middle-aged second marriage? We have place settings for 40. We’re out of wall space. We have more appliances than cupboards. But we’re pretty sure the driveway got longer since last winter. Those stairs are creaking in a way that isn’t charming. And wouldn’t it be nice to have a working fireplace? Your presence at our wedding is present enough, but if you want to give us something, please consider helping us make our lives together even cozier.

Save our backs! Help us get a good, reliable snowblower for next winter.

Our fireplace is lovely, but non-working. Please help us stay warm and cozy this winter by contributing to our fireplace fund.

We want to reinforce the floor in the mudroom to support the fridge, build a cat drawer underneath and add some cabinetry to make the kitchen more functional. Please help us cook together, plus give Jo E and Garth a little more privacy.

She's a lovely old house, but she's looking her age. Please help us give Cogswell Cottage a much-needed facelift with a paint job of her cedar shakes.
