these cool glass water bottles that look like the plastic ones. I love how artful they look, with the clear lids and lack of labels, it’s just so beautiful in it’s simplicity. You can find these lovlies here at Crate and Barrel.

The heck with just weddings… I want one of these sweet and airy garlands in my doorway all the time…. You can find the directions on the Once Wed blog, by clicking here.
to take a breathe… to enjoy yourself… to reconnect with your friends… to plan a family meal… to connect with your art… or even to work without interruption by unplugging all distractions (phones, tv, etc). What’s important is to take a day to do what you want or need, without nagging phone calls, door bells, text messages, or anything else that will stop you. Make your favorite tea or a great cup of coffee and make today your own.

I totally love this bracelet that my friend Dave made…
Check it out on Etsy!! While you are there, why not ‘heart’ it to show how much you love it!!!
These are so so sweet, but $85 for measuring spoons? I think not.
How come I’ve never seen one of these before?
It’s fantastic! Another thing on my wish list

My art reception for my gallery opening at the River Gallery last Saturday went really well. There was champagne, brownies, and lemon tarts, and everything looked great… Jan did a great job of displaying everything. Almost all my friends came, even those I had n’t seen in a year and it was a nice time. Tyler was a trooper and hung out with me the entire time… not many teenage boys are that cool!
It’s been raining for days… and I think this umbrella would cheer up those gray days.
This is officially on my wish list.
Available at MOMA
Is this the coolest oil lamp or what? It’s on my wish list.
