…probably my favorite way to enjoy roses…no filler…no distractions…

Have a great weekend and I’ll meet you back here next week with more flowers…

a patchwork listing

A funny little patchwork shop update, that's what I've got in store for you today! Funny yes, but nonetheless filled with a few adorable dresses and what...harachi sandals too. It's best if you attempt your Mike Love impersonation on that last line. You know you want to.

On a related slash unrelated note, Pet Sounds. Thoughts? Opinions? A mon avis, one of the best albums of all time. Don't Talk. One of the best love songs ever written.

Each of these vintage beauties will be up in the shop by the time I head off to dreamland tonight. Happy dreaming to all!

Color Inspiration: Crimson, Scarlett and Garnet

Sometimes I forget how much I like red…but now I remember!

By the way, you should check out a new blog…TuTu Divine. These girls ooze personality and they had a post about lavender yesterday that got me wanting to run down and buy lavender paint (wait till you see the kitchen in their post…). I can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us!

Soft thoughts in a pure vision of Spring. Roses. Hydrangeas. Tulips. Poppies. Hyacinths. Let's lose ourselves in ephemeral joys for the afternoon, shall we? Or if you're feeling up for the challenge, an eye spy challenge of the floral nature!

For All You Animal Lovers…

Happy Wednesday!

If you're thinking these photos look familiar, well you're right! I went a little crazy in the sale section of the shop, marking tons of lovelies half off a few weeks ago. I've been adding pieces here and there and I'm shocked only a few people have taken advantage. There are some seriously good deals, especially the coats I just added. So here we go, a little self promotion...My favorite pieces 50% off pieces!

Linear Centerpieces

I don’t know why, but I usually prefer long tables to round ones and multi-piece linear centerpieces to single arrangements…my husband would say that’s because multi-piece centerpieces cost more. What do you prefer?

So what do you think? Like linear centerpieces? I’m pretty sure this says something about me…I like things lined up and orderly…

Hope your Tuesday is a great on!

just one of those days

Scatterbrain. If I was one of those Word-A-Day calendars, this would be my April 26, 2010. Do you ever have those days where you just can't seem to get it together? So much to do but so little focus. Running around from task to task but never actually getting anything accomplished. Writing fragment sentence after fragment sentence.

Yes, well, that is me today and I'm even feeling it as I type this very moment! I suppose it all started when I rolled out of bed and discovered we were out of coffee. Being the addict I am, I slipped on the pair of shoes closest to the door and ran out to grab a cup. PJs and dress shoes with a serious case of bedhead and out for Monday morning coffee. Perfect.

And from there, my day has been one big jumble of things I'm trying to get done. Case in point found below.


Only one shot for the post I had planned for today! The weather was quite overcast and a bit dismal on top of that. I really didn't think too many walkers would be out especially if I went at lunch time. But, nope, that was not the case! People kept walking down to the beach and I just couldn't concentrate. I get so embarrassed when people watch me take photos. I really just can't do it! End first photo attempt. Drive home. Begin second attempt. Case in point found below.

Only three new listings today for the shop today! Sorry my loves, I'm just not with it as they say. Off to a Zumba class to try to burn off some of this energy that's making me crazy and go into exclamation overload!
