This poor ugly thing was in need of being Tinafied...
Ta-dah! Champagne anyone?

I adore flowers. I have faux flowers everywhere... if you look at any home dec. mag, the rooms are always adorned with flowers...
La vie en rose!


Even tiny areas have lil' buds dressing up the setting like here and below...
Need I say I'm a "Home Goods" addict?








Yes ~ they do come true.
My Dad gave me this huge bunch of peacock feathers - I treasure them!




Confession ~ I'm a magaholic. I LOVE Magazines!!! I have the entire first 10 years of "Victoria" and wont part with them. And that was before Somerset Studio Publications became my new fav! Barnes & Knobles sees my face every payday.



You know the expression
"Show me your friends and
I'll tell you who you are" -
Well, I like to think my home is a reflection of my inner self ~




To me, every thing looks better sitting in a tray - it's like put a frame around a picture.
I like to group colors together.... pink is so pretty.


Chartruse is one of my favorite colors.

My entry near the front door - a place to sit down a write that lil' note before dropping it in the mail.



Tommy & I use our wood burning fireplace EVERY night in the winter!





I love art - all kinds. My home is a place to display pretty things... a place to kick back with my husband and recharge my batteries. We all need a beautiful haven to nest in.

This is a monarch flutterby cocoon. A beautiful find along with the two catepillars below. There was this lovely nursrey in Seal Beach where they cultivated milkweed just for the monarchs to breed & feed on.



Really... can there be a prettier color??? I think not!


This beauty sold in a snap! Goodbye my mossy-jewel!







Pretty bottles from weekend workshop!





Can you believe this was a spoon??!! Cindy Forester taught us how to make cool jewelry!
