Acorns

I love acorns, they are cute, round and wear hats...

I confess

I confess I did something I was not supposed to do....I bought something at Brimfield. Never planned to but there they were looking me. Mrs and Mrs from Lincoln, Massachusetts, early 19th century portraits.

I had been looking for a pair where both spouses made me happy and they do for a very, very long time. This was the opportunity of a lifetime and I grabbed it. No regrets, at least not anymore. But I will have to remember that Brimfield has a way to surprise and provide the unexpected to even the most seasoned visitors.
Yes, I will go back next year. I am am addicted!

Less is more

I have been trying to cleanse my house, and find it very hard to do. The idea is that less is more. Few well chosen pieces, displayed in a unique fashion can make such a statement as showcased in these pictures from Cote Maison

still going coastal

OK so we are midst September and I should be thinking fall...Yes I'll get there but today is a nice mid 70s dry sunny kind of day one that would make you believe, if for just one more day that we are still in the midst of summer...

Coastal living shares some amazing coastal properties to get lost in and believe that we too could maybe be so lucky as to own on of those beauties...yes dreaming is not only allowed but encouraged.

Love these

Love these, it is just that simple

A French Beach house

As the weather turns I am still trying if just for a little time to hand on to summer. In August 2007 Cote Ouest had a great story on a French beach house. I am reminded of my childhood as I look at these pictures I hope one day to call one of these beauties my own...On the coast of Brittany.

The New Traditional

One of my favorite books is "The New Traditional" By Darryl Carter.

Rarely do I find a book where every page gives me a sense of calm and belonging. This one does. My taste is much more eclectic and brighter colors are part of my life but his sense of style makes me want to move in and stay.

this is a book to own, and keep out on the coffee table, you will enjoy it over and over and you will find your guests unable to put it down.
