I Know, I Know...I Should Have an Explanation.

Like where have you been for a couple of months? Ahhh, I'm almost scared to go into it, but I will explain in a couple of days. First, I had to post these photos I found today. Check out these incredible fixtures from Redesign Technologies!

Yeah, they're paperclips!!!

Oh these are so delicious, I could eat them up!!

(Back in a couple of days. Thanks to those of you who have been patient w/ me)

Friday Favorite: Mary Kate McDevitt

Its Friday, so lets remind ourselves to think positively. Personally, I am always working on that. As we all know, some days its a lot easier to get negative and gloomy. That's why I love Mary Kay McDevitt's uplifting illustrations. There great little reminders to keep your chin up:)

(Some of you may remember when I featured her former home here. Take a peek, its a fun place)

Hope all of you have a cheery weekend!

Happy, Happy Birthday!

To me!! Yay!
I am one of those obnoxious persons who likes to tell everyone about my birthday! You know I want to wear a big button on my shirt that talks about it, or a birthday tiara. When I was a kid I never understood why I didn't get an automatic day off from school on my special day!
So, I am going to tell all of you about it today. Ha, ha! I am turning the big 34! It freaks me out a bit, because I've always imagined the threshold for being a "mature adult" as turning 35. Now I only have one year to really get my act together. Aahhh, I don't know if I'm ready!
To celebrate, I put together a wish list of gifts, for myself. I thought some of you might enjoy it also:)

Terry Graziano

I would take anything and everything from this shop. It was a struggle to keep it down to only three!
Funny enough, this month also marks the second anniversary of my blog. I am reminded how much I have loved getting to know so many wonderful people via this site. I appreciate all of you who stop in to check on me everyday:) I hope to keep writing this for a long time and I hope to get to know all of you more and more.
So thanks everyone!

Lovely and Mysterious.

I'm in love with the mystery of ElleMoss's beautiful photos.
I think I could stare at them for hours:)

Artist: Betsy Walton

Happy Sunday! I'm sitting quietly web-surfing while my boys take an afternoon nap. I stumbled upon a great artist today, named Betsy Walton. Just thought I would share some of her work. Some of these paintings can also be found at her Etsy store here.

Speaking of small accessories...

Here are a few new items from Blue Bell Bazaar. I'm crazy about the collection of tiny objects, under glass. This is such a creative way to display small pieces.

Handmade Christmas Gifts

Here is a great idea for all the handmade items, lovers. I like the idea that they are handmade gifts, made for your hands...except for the scarf of course. Check them out at Etsy store, Gaye Abandon.
