Things to Love

 I started cleaning out closets and tackled our garage after my mom died ...my husband kept saying to me, maybe you need to just veg a little! I guess its my way of working through the emotional pain. But, I did something stupid and pulled a rib out of place...let me tell you...PAINFUL!

 I asked my husband to go look at new cars, but he's afraid to go with me because sometimes when I turn wrong I let out an uncontrollable scream. It sounds like I'm having a baby!     

I haven't been the same since the car accident...I'm having aches and pains all over my body..

Doesn't it sound like fun?

I put together some things that I'm loving, like these chairs that I would love for my living room.

(Appreciate This Tumbler)

Blue and white stripes...classic!

This chair...gorgeous!

Is this the cutest wallpaper?

I've been attracted to white, natural wood and black accents.

This a great idea...

Loving these glasses....

And this..

I meet Leslie when I went to Texas and had a chance to look at her books...they are gorgeous...worth every penny!

This one comes out Sept 2015...cant wait to see it.
Did I mention that she was a doll! Such a sweet lady..I should of gotten a picture with her! Next time...

This Pine buffet was gorgeous..Pine will come back in style and the old pieces are going to be expensive due to the fact its  harder and harder to find.

These chairs were very cool, I saw them at Wertz Brothers  in L.A. If you haven't been there it's a large warehouse with tons of recycled furniture.

I'm getting back to work next week...I'll get you caught up with some projects next month.

Blue and White Decor and I'm Back!

I missed all of you!  
 I want to thank you for your prayers, emails and checking in on me...

With two parents being sick and a son who was in an accident...its been very hard to blog, but I'm learning to breath in between life's little surprises.. 

Here are a few things I learned the last couple of months...
Thank God for my hubby and good friends that support me no matter what I'm going through....
Love you guys! 

Always try to find the silver lining in every situation....
Find time to take care of yourself. 
That's a hard one! 
When your taking care of everyone else its hard to find time for yourself..

 Most important, you gotta laugh at yourself! 

 Yes, even though things are filled with hardship you gotta laugh at the situation... 

Erma Bombeck had a saying...
(my Mother loved her)

 "Laughter rises out of tragedy, when you need it the most, and rewards you for your courage."


I thought this was a perfect time to get back in the swing of things and join The Pink Pagodas blue and white party...

  Have you noticed we are finally seeing blue and white in the stores?

 Hello Pottery Barn!

It seems like we, in blog-land, have been posting and talking about blue and white decor for so long.... 
Its nice to finally see it out and about.....

Look at the beautiful patina in the wood work. 
I love the color of those doors.

I just took this fabric to my upholster to have a pillow made......its by Lee Jofa...

Can you guess who designed this room?

 She has a way of weaving her name through out her designs...
Yup..

What do you think about green and blue together? I do think we will see more of it...
