I love browsing through West Elm’s catalog! There’s always something of interest, whether furniture or an accessory. I especially like their Queen Anne’s Lace printed panel in platinum. Just wish it was offered in more colors. I have a bathroom project in mind but wish they offered this same pattern against a spring green background; …
My First Bonsai Project
My first bonsai was a Christmas gift juniper from my husband’s relatives. I would love to switch out my current blue ceramic pot (pictured below) with a 5.5 in-6 in The Intelligent Plant Light/Timely Lighting Care pot. Following a re-decoration similar to my friend’s potted plant (also pictured below). I prefer a traditional ceramic bonsai …
Hallmark Limited Edition Ornaments
I’ve been trying to wrap up my stocking-stuffer shopping for this year at Hallmark and Pier 1. I have many people to shop for. I found this sweet little 2011 limited edition cupcake ornament at my local Hallmark and discovered that they began their holiday cupcake series last year. I was off to search on …

Oh Joy!‘s file folder in Woodcut Floral just re-ignited my penchant for pretty office supplies. Not all office supplies are blah. Another of my favorites is by Galison. The site of these lovely things brighten my day no matter the mundane tasks ahead. *Photocredit: Oh Joy! & Galison/Mudpuppy

Love it! It’s the best sachet I’ve ever purchased. Please visit their website. They carry a wide selection of home fragrance products such …
Springtime Herbs & Blooms
This year I just couldn’t wait to rush down to our local nursery to buy herbs for my window boxes. It was still quite chilly and windy that day but a few days later, true Spring weather began, to my relief. Herbs are so thirsty for water; they practically should be watered daily and of …
Dream Closet
I actually overlooked posting about my dream closet. These are similar to Rachel Ashwell’s French armoire. If you are lucky enough to have high bedroom ceilings, love French or shabby chic furniture, and are able to splurge on luxury I’d definitely say run out and get this! I’ve been told by antique dealers that these …
