Here for a good time

A Little Something To Ponder.

Hello, everyone! I had a last minute trip come up, and won't be back till Tues. (or Wed.) Nothing bad, just spending time with family. In the meantime, I thought I would leave you with this gorgeous portfolio by Sean Myers.
Be back as soon as possible!

To Be A Kid Again!

This is a lucky little doll! Okay, maybe she's no Barbie; but did Barbie ever have a pad like this? I think not. This little contemporary treat even has a killer wardrobe. Where was this when I was a kid?

A Passion for Doors

Below is a collage of some photos of doors that I took on my recent trip to Venice and the Island of Giudecca, which sparked the talented artist Fifi to paint her rendition below. Well done Fifi!!! Check out her Blog Posting here where she shows two more of my travel photos rendered to perfection. As you all might know I have a passion for doors.

"I love doors... Front doors are the first impression the world has of your home and as the saying goes:
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

I Never Meet A Stranger.

This is a very funny statement to make, since I can be so shy. Luckily, when I get to meet a fellow blogger; I can walk in and feel like we are old friends! This week I had the pleasure of meeting Cheryl, of Stash Studios. We have been communicating via our blogs and email, and decided to have lunch. I'm glad to say that Cheryl and I hit it off immediately, and had a great time. We talked about blogging, parenting, and our mutual love of "good junk".
Cheryl is a woman of many talents, including being an amazing photographer. I gathered a few a her photos that I love, taken while at one of my favorite places...Round Top! Check out more photos on her Flickr site.

(I think I bought some of these exact bottles!)

Cheryl is a contributer to Refueled Magazine, so many of you may be familiar with her work. If you haven't read this magazine, check it out here. It will change your definition of "Country Style".

A Love Token

Judging from the comments on my last post about my true love for Nate Berkus, I am not the only one in love. By coincidence, I found this amazing painting from Fifi Flowers; of Nate's adorable pooches. So cute! Nate if you see this, I want to dedicate this little token to you; from me and many other bloggers.

Italian Shoes are the Best but....
