photo found on graphicsfairy My heart goes out to the lost souls in Haiti.Of those who survived, those who did not and those whose fate is still unknown.Their plight particularly touches my heart. Living on a fault line with the trepidation of ‘the big one’ in California always comes to the forefront of my mind when we have a shaker or when a significant one releases so much damage and heart break anywhere in the world. Growing up, I had… [Read More]
Pickard Monogram Williams-Sonoma I don’t need new china but I wouldn’t mind getting my “just dessert(s)” plates. I know. I don’t deserve them after that bad pun. Ahoy! A stowaway tear sheet from my treasure chest of wishful interiors. Tailored navy and white. Can’t you just feel the spray of the ocean on your face? Look familiar? The chair looks soooo much better with my monogram superimposed on it, don’t you think? Thank you Preppy Paper Girl! I love monograms… [Read More]

After the holidays and paying two college tuitions by the end of the year, there is less padding in the nest, that’s for sure ~ I’m not picky though. I like shiny things too. “Here goosey, goosey, goosey!”~ But what is good for the goose, is good for the gander,… [Read More]

If you have never had Christmas crackers on your holiday table this is the time to get them for next year at 50% – 60% off. For the last 2 years I have placed them on each place setting and they are a lot of fun. If you don’t know what they are here is a Wiki link. but the gist is … they are of English origin from the mid 1800’s and traditionally hold a paper crown,… [Read More]
January is a confirming time for me but not without discomfort. I feel exposed and bare. The sun is harsh with fewer leaves to shade, protect, and hide but the month beckons a resolute beginning while appearing fallow. As I dust the bookshelf that held an abundance of votives this past holiday, I hold the last photo we took as a family just days before my mom suddenly left us on a New Year’s Day. I… [Read More]
