I have a strange obsession with wellies.  But here in lies the problem… I hardly wear them.  I want to… but it just doesn’t rain enough here in Nashville to warrant many days of rain boots.  Yet, somehow when I get the chance to put on a pair… I feel like skipping through puddles while [...]

This past Tuesday, I was super excited for the dvd release of It’s Complicated starring Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin.  I was feeling a little left out since I hadn’t seen the movie and everyone had been raving about it.  And “everyone” was right… I adored the movie (one of my new all time favorites)…but, [...]

I’m sure you remember the scented cupcake cards and fab workspace of Peach Mailbox that I featured a few weeks ago.  Personally, I never forget anything that has to do with food… especially cupcakes.  Well, my sweet friend, Gamie, has graciously shared her photos from a recent shoot with us and I’m tickled pink.  Every [...]

Every once in a while, I “stalk” a paper vendor… not in the scary single white female way… in the, I want their product so bad kind of way!  So when Tara and Darcey, the ladies of Paperwink, gave me a ring to carry their products in the shop, I was ecstatic.  After meeting at [...]

There I was, browsing the on-line pages of Kate Spade, when I spotted it…. the Kate Spade picnic bike basket!  It was as if I was in a dream…  perfectly woven straw, a watermelon patent leather top, the “springy-est” of spring flowered liner… ahhhh!  Only the minds at Kate Spade would dream up a bicycle [...]

Each Christmas, I beg my husband to wear matching footie pajamas with me.  Each Christmas, he emphatically says no!  Something about maintaining an ounce of his dignity or something… Whatever!  I think couples in love can wear matching pj’s.  It’s not like I’m going to wear this fabulous skirt from Anthropologie while he is wearing [...]

I confess… I leave the water running well before I get into the shower…  I walk out of the room and leave the lights on…  and I shamelessly admit I don’t always recycle.  But on days like today, Earth Day, I like to take the time to think about all the little things I can [...]

You know sometimes, you just need a little old school granny crafting to feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  And there is nothing better then turning a cross-stitch project into something cool and chic!  Anyone up for a little Granny Couture? I am! Write more… Type less, Lauren Poster, Lamp Shade, Custom Heart Sampler, Fawn [...]

When I first met Avis Wampler (aka Avie) at the New York Stationery Show two years ago… her boxed stationery had my heart swooning!  Besides the fact that Avie was a delight to talk to… her patterned envelopes were the most beautiful I had ever seen.  I mean seriously, patterned envelopes… can you hear my [...]

I have always dreamed of buying a cuckoo clock in Switzerland.  I have no idea how this plan entered by head, being that my husband and I haven’t talked about visiting Switzerland, nor do we have a trip planned.  Yet somehow, I have managed to romanticize the idea of meandering through the cobblestone streets of [...]
