Country Charm

One of the best things about country style is that there isn't matching involved. You just go with what you like and it all works out perfectly in the end.

Weekend Update

It was a busy weekend but I'm so happy to say that I squeezed in a few minutes in the yard. Weeding for me, is bliss.

Color Crush

Gold, it's such a life lending color. It's my favorite color at the moment & I think I need a little more of it here.

Flight of Fancy

These 3x5 bird flash cards are among the many amazing images that can be found at Inkpainter. Their possibilities are are many and their beauty is great.

Just for Fun

I've been working hard gathering information about tents and teepee's. I'd like to put one up a corner of our loft space. It seems like it would be a lot of fun for the kids. They could read or just hang out in it. When they have friends over to stay the night they could "camp out". We have a bunch of national parks posters to go up on the walls in that same space so it really would fit in well but it has to be small (6ft by 3-4ft) and it has to be cute and very inexpensive. I'd really prefer vintage or handmade but I may end up going with a new one just to keep it simple. I am determined. If you have any ideas/suggestions, please share.

Lamp Love

If I ever win the lottery, my first big splurge will be beautiful lighting.

One of My Favorite Things

I have many picture books among my favorites. On the sofa table behind our couch sits the Taschen book, A Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. The best thing about it is it's ability to change. Simply turn the pages and the room is instantly improved. During the winter months, snakes and bugs are on display, come summer, we are admiring shells and coral. It's an all season accessory.

Note to Self

This kind of beauty does not happen over night. It is years in the making, one piece at a time.

Things I Want

This shape would never work on me but I do love it.

Combined

I love this color combination. Yes, I know, it's just black and white, but adding the gold frame and brass nailhead trim makes it so much more.

Field Trip

Need a moment of calm today? I do. Let's take a trip to Oh Sweet Woods, where we'll find a collection of beautifully soothing images to give us a brief mid-week reprieve and even a bit of encouragement.

Making Everyday Beautiful

It's all beautiful; the marble, the paint color, the scale but for me, it's the light fixture that really makes it. Who doesn't want a little glamor in the kitchen?

For You

Gentle Creatures

Two beautiful art pieces from Julia Pott & The Artwork of Charmaine Olivia.

Penguin Classic

Postcards, a set of 100 beautiful book cover images. Wouldn't that be a lovely gift?

Intruiged

Library as a style, who would have guessed that would be affecting our clothing and interior choices? For me, I think it started with this Anthropologie ad. It's so beautiful and it validated the fact that I had library book inserts in my desk drawer for notes. Just walking into a good library evokes a certain feeling. All of those books, all the colors, the smell, the possibilities. It's really no wonder at all that we're so intrigued.

Stating the Obvious

This is an amazing rug.

Golden

It's been too long since I hula-hooped. A golden hula hoop would be such fun. It really is an activity that's fun for ever. One that you forget just how much fun it is until you pick up a child's hoop and show them how to do it and wonder why it's been so long.

A Small Thing

Sometimes it's the small things that make a big difference. We all know this. The small thing I see here is the tassel at the end of the light's pull cord. I saw that and knew instantly that I would find a little bit of happiness in adding a tassel to each of our ceiling fans.

Lately

I've been finding myself drawn to American Indian and motifs (cowboy too). Maybe because Husband watches Bonanza while we eat lunch. Whatever the reason, no matter, it's done. My first *sewing project this semester will be a western style shirt.

*Yes, you are right. I've never followed up here about the Christmas dress. I will. I promise. I have to fix the zipper.
