31!

I initially stated that I would post once a day for the month of October…which would mean that this would end tonight. I don’t know about you, but I am really liking these posts, so I’m going to keep at it!
Thank you to Chris of Reverieblog, and Cindy of Quaint Handmade for all of their [...]

Happy Pumpkin Day

I’m trying to be a good sport today, with the loss of the camera and all. To make matters worse when I went off to bed last night, I looked out my bedroom window and my trunk was open. Nobody opened the trunk, and there was storm water pouring in. I don’t know what I [...]

Not A Happy Camper!

I’ve been trying to take pictures of the Canadian Honkers across the field (from my house) for the last week or so. These beautiful birds land there every fall. The photos I initially took turned out blurry, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get a clear shot. Last night they were closer than usual. [...]

How To Open An Etsy Shop

My current shop on etsy, has a name I don’t care for. It’s something I came up with on a whim and just went with it because I was eager to start selling. If I’d really thought about it I would have gone in another direction. Perhaps I would have named it “dolce” since that’s [...]

Berkus Does HSN!

It’s no secret that I love Nate Berkus. I blame him for my new love of design, and my fascination with buying a piece of coral for my shelf! Did you know that my man, Nate is selling furniture and home decor on the Home Shopping Network? That’s right, you can buy Nate on HSN! [...]

Lord Won’t You Buy Me A Mercedes Benz

While I’ve always been concious of making the right decision to not offend people and keep myself in line, I was never necessarily good at making the smart decision. At times I wanted something so bad that I was impatient and often regretted things I’ve bought.
I was wise in leasing my car a couple of [...]

I Needed This

Last night, I was feeling sorry for myself over things that are beyond my control. I was lucky enough to have a good chat with my mom who put everything into perspective and not worry about people and things that I can’t change. I happened to hear this quote on David Letterman and it just [...]

Want Of The Day

Thanks to Apartment, Tbd, etc I have been looking on craiglist daily in hopes of finding a bamboo chippendale/hollywood regency chair for my bedroom. I have yet to find one, but found this gorgeous tufted chair! It’s $125, I would love to have it…but in this unpredictable economy I can’t fathom spending this at the [...]

Office Space

While browsing through one of my favorite websites/magazines, Traditional Home , I came across photos of make up artist, Bobbi Brown’s office. The saying ‘everything happens for a reason’ rings true for Brown, as she wouldn’t have this gorgeous space, had fire not ruined her Soho office in Manhattan. Bobbi along with her husband, developer, [...]

Special Request

It’s a rarity when my mom asks me to post something on my blog, but when she does it’s something of great importance. One of her dear friends just found out she has Cancer and will be operated on at 12pm tomorrow. If you don’t mind praying for her at noon tomorrow, we would all [...]

1) I’m such a gemini. At times I can go with the flow while other times, I have to be in control.
2) I hate feet, they gross [...]

Loving Purple

I think I’ve finally got it! The other night I was looking for bedding when I spotted this pillow:

Nordstrom

Tuesdays Gone

It’s A Start!

If you’ve watched Dress My Nest you know that the person looking to get his/her home redecorated/overhauled has to pick a few of his/her favorite accessories from their wardrobe or any favorite they might have, and they incorporate that into their living space.
Since I’m in the beginning phase, I thought about everything in my house [...]
