Seriously… what’s wrong with you people?!  Get your minds out of the gutter!  I’m simply talking about my fondness for all things antler.  Kinda weird… I know… but lately, I have been dying for a huge pair of white resin antlers to hang over my fireplace.  Coming from a family of hunters, I grew up [...]

In my quest of finding beauty in unexpected places… I’ve decided to give a head nod to the doily.  You know, this little piece of paper has been considered old fashioned, out-dated, even granny like.  I however disagree.  Whether they are paper or crocheted little pieces of heaven, I consider them delicate, crafty and well [...]

I am a huge fan (stalker) of Amy Atlas.  Her dessert and candy tables are pure joy for me… who wouldn’t love mounds of candy and sweet confections?!  Recently I came across yet another fabulous dessert table that instantly made me think of Snow and Graham’s Twiggy wrapping paper… definitely separated at birth! Write more… [...]

I have to admit… there’s an emerging trend out there that I just haven’t been able to wrap my mind around.  Lately, everything has had a mustache on it and I had to ask myself why!?  I’m an Italian woman… a mustache is one of my number one fears!!!!… So I really wasn’t getting it…. [...]

Part 7:  New Years Resolutions Today is the last day in my New Years Resolutions series.  And while, I believe that each day in my life is another day to grow and become a better person… I thank you for reading all of my silly goals and dreams for the New Year. My last resolution [...]

Part 5:  New Years Resolutions What do your closets look like?  Is everything stacked neatly, hung correctly and arranged by color.  If it is… I hate you!  I try… I really do!  Each year, I say I’m going to clean out my closets and then I become a pack rat.  Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be [...]

Part 4:  New Years Resolutions My fourth New Years Resolution of the year is two-sided.  Finding beauty in small places came to me over my holiday break as I was in the shower and became enamored with the pattern of the lace like mesh of a loofah sponge.  I couldn’t believe I had never looked [...]

Part 3:  New Years Resolutions I love my bed… I love my pillow… I love cuddling up to my comforter on a cold winter morning… but if I love all this stuff, why do I not get enough sleep?  I’m definitely a night owl and tend to start working on projects at the most inopportune [...]

Part 2:  New Years Resolutions In the words of Willie Nelson… “You are always on my mind”.  You may be wondering who or what I’m talking about?!  And besides the obvious choices like my husband, my paper boutique, family, friends… yada yada yada… the answer is simple… FOOD!  If I’m eating breakfast… I’m dreaming of [...]
