Baubles...

 

Happy Saturday.... We are off to the Mart today in search of new pieces for the shop and projects that are coming this year, I will be sure to share my finds with you next week.  

I feel for both of these photos when I saw them on pinterest next to one another, rustic with a bit of luxury.  The light fixture is my all time favorite, which is why I put this one in our dining room!

Enjoy!

 

 

Weekend ready...

 

I am pretty sure that everyday this week has seemed like Friday to me and it is finally here!  I love this sweet soft image (even though I like my dolls to have heads) it seems so relaxing.  I have it bad for these vintage tufted chairs.  We are planning our trip to France and I so hope to find one or two for my own home.  

Wishing you a relaxing and wonderful weekend!  Also, don't miss out on our giveaway!

here and there..

 

It is funny how everyday is so different even when it seems the same.  One little meeting can change your outlook for the next year in a good or bad way, or maybe just in a different way.  It seems that no matter what comes my way, there is always something there to follow it up.  Yesterday was one of those days were you look at what is coming up and decide- oh this is going to call for some changes some improvements, some improvising and a little bit of making your own destiny.  I am looking forward to it!  

I hope you had a wonderful week!  What did you get accomplished this week?  This is different from what are you doing this weekend- which is my normal question.  I feel like I had a very productive week and I am ready for a real break from work, time in the sun and with the family is on the agenda.

How did you like our first Designers at Home post?  If you are interested in participating please feel free to contact me as we would like to make this a regular thing here.

I fell for this photo and a million others on a blog I discovered this week.

happy weekend...

 

Thank goodness we are onto the weekend again.  Although there does not seem to be an end in site for our busy fall season I do have hope that our home will soon be back to normal.  Things are moving along well in the kitchen and the flooring is completely in.  We just have painting to go and  a few little things here and there.  

How are things shaping up for you this fall?  Does it seem that there is not a dull moment in any season as of late?  I feel like we are all go go go around here.

Reading spot...

 

Feeling a bit under the weather today... too many plans can make you tired I think.  

This would be the perfect place to take a few hours and leisurely read with a big cup of tea.

Wishing you a restful Saturday!

weekend of R & R

 

How has another week passed so quickly.  I could seriously loose a few days in this room if I tried.  Couldn't you just imagine reading with the natural light?  

What do you have planned for the weekend? I think I may have already mentally started the weekend!

French this weekend...

What do you have planned for the weekend?  We are doing a bit of this and that around the house.  Hanging art and moving things around and enjoying one of the last weekends of summer.  I also have been invited by the lovely Andrea from French Basketeer to a dinner at her home tonight, I am very excited!  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend whatever you have planned.

that's just what I need..

 

After touring pools yesterday and analyzing outdoor furnishing needs for them, all I can think about is a little bit of this kind of pool use.  I think I could handle a bit of this all the way down to the wrinkly toes and fingers - you?   

What are your plans this weekend?

 

Happy weekend..

 

This is how my brain feels today!  Over packed. bursting at the seams. but always ready for another challenge.  I have gotten to the point were my mind is going one way and my mouth is going another, I have started saying things out of order...  Hello!  See how I am rambling now- so bad.  

Okay now that you know I have hit max capacity, I am heading off to the LA show today to soak up some more design and order pieces for my current projects!!  Yey!  

Have a wonderful weekend my friends, and may your mind find a bit of peace...

Summer evenings.

 

Summer nights are made for entertaining don't think?  I love all of the candlelight and those sweet garden chairs, casual linens and the relaxed garden.

This is so perfect!

 

 

pool time..

 

I know most of you have been enjoying the summer time fun for the past few days.. we are just now getting away for a little R and R.  Still connected but a little distant.

Wishing you a beautiful Saturday!

sneek peek...

Last week I spent most of my time installing a few projects that I have been working on.  I will be sharing more tomorrow..  

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday filled with inspiration!

What a gorgeous bit of inspiration after a long week of work.  The chest is pretty amazing and the walls just take it over the top.  

A busy weekend planned here getting back on track.  What are you up to anything fun?

Southern California Spring Garden Show

 

This week is the Spring Garden show at Crystal Court - South Coast Plaza.  I have not been in several years and had a chance to visit yesterday.  They had a great display at center court from Fiesta Floats of Pasadena.  It was amazing with several large butterfly and giant cone shaped containers filled with flowers.   I have not been to the Rose parade since I was a little girl so seeing the detailing on the pieces was pretty amazing.  It was about 2 stories tall.

 

 

Room and board had a small display- Love this long simple arrangement for the outdoor table.

 

I need to look this up because these were wood pieces that held water.  I want one of these in my new garden.

There was an abundance of miniature garden displays and Japanese Maples were everywhere.

There were several of these succulents- super cool!

We spied a cherry tree near the end, I now need to add this to my list of fruit trees.  I just have to see how well they grow in our area.

The variety of Orchids on display was also pretty amazing.  They are so beautiful, I wish I could figure out how to get them to bloom more than once when they are in my care...

The Garden show runs through the weekend with several events and lectures being held each day.  It was a fun morning visit but I suggest that you arrive early, it was very busy by 10:30 AM.

You can find more information here.
