Anthro love.

My fave Anthro home selections for the week.Maybe it's the oil in the Gulf, maybe it's the fact there was zero sun this weekend or maybe it's just summer lovin', but I adore these beauties from Anthro and there is definitely a fruit de mer theme going on.

Whiteout.

Adore! Adore! Adore! The neutral, the horns, the organic feel.....give me more....my knees are getting weaker by the minute!

Today is a gift.

That's why they call it the present....well we all know that it is better to give than receive and if you give a little compliment you may get something in return. Sure I gush over good design, fashion, style and whatever floats my boat...one of these rants cited Heidi Merrick as the designer du jour. Tracking my blog traffic today I noticed someone entering via Heidi's site....a little more backtracking and I found that blogs are featured on the press page here!! Yours truly! I'm so excited {and I just can't hide it!}! Granted it's a small victory and my blog is a little over a year old, but gosh darn it, it certainly is flattering ;)

Put a name on it.

Today I am loving these monogram and other designs. A monogram beats a Sharpie label any day.

Tracing perfection.

Have I mentioned how much I love my antique frames lately? Turns out I'm not the only one.

Chalk it up....

Fun chalkboard designs.

Neutral Territory.

I by no means see things as being black or white, but I am naturally drawn to all things black and white...particularly because it takes color out of the equation for a self-proclaimed indecisive individual. Check out these neutral spaces.

Thank you!

Memos for Monday.

Remember when you do into the world to keep your eyes and ears wide open. And be kind. Love one another. Take care of each other. Tell the truth. Always do your best. Listen to the big people and the little people. Explore new paths and have fun. Know that you are loved like crazy. Give thanks for all your blessings. Above all else, love, and you will do wonderful things in the world. Think happy. Be happy.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. Follow the grain in your own wood. She turned her cant's into cans, and her dreams into plans.

Typical situation...

...A typical situation in these typical times? It certainly seems like that, with recession woes still in effect the last thing the Gulf Coast needed was oil.
