It is official... I am getting ready for another trip to Paris in a few weeks and we are bringing back our first container.  I am a little nervous I will admit but excited at the same time.  We will stay in Paris and shop the flea markets there for the first week mixed with much site seeing and relaxing around the city, then it is off to Normandy to shop with Sharon from My French Country Home.  I am so excited to see her again and experience a bit more of her amazing everyday life!

These are just a few of the photos that we snapped on our last trip, some you may have seen and some are new.  I was just going through them and thought I would share some of my current favorites with you.  I have a few more posts lined up from our last adventure to share before we leave too!

I hope you had a lovely weekend.  We spent most of our time outside as it was just beautiful out.  It was nice to not have any plans and have a chance to recharge and daydream a little.  

Another busy week planned here and I feel like I am ready to tackle it!  Bring on Spring I want some more beautiful weather and inspiration please!

I pulled a few light and bright pictures to help get you there too just in case (it is Monday after all).   Let's start the week off right.

 

I am finding it hard to concentrate on work.  Do you ever have that problem?  There are constant distractions and things that catch my eye.. I promise to be better today! 

I promise to check items off of the list not just read it over and over and pick one item!

Happy Spring!

Okay I am ready- when is Spring arriving?  We have been working on the plans for our backyard for weeks and I think we may have gotten it all taken care of..  now the really hard part begins - starting the project and loosing all of the beauty of Spring out there.  I am sure the result will be amazing when we can afford the actual plants but until then it may be a little barren!  I love love this piece and I may have to add a little something out there like this to keep me happy!

Also, be sure to check out One Kings Lane tonight for the Seahouse Design Sale!!

How I dream of warmer spring days filled with beautiful mornings, flowers and greenery.  I trust you have enjoyed your weekend my friends?  

I love the feeling of this mixed up space, eclectic and still a possible working environment.  I think that the painting makes it for me and the flowers of course.  I am curious how many of you collect little things like this, I know I do although I try very hard to keep it to a very edited version.  I struggle with the old and the new pieces and typically the old pieces win out because they hold more memories even if they are not all my memories.  Do you pick up little things here and there or do you collect along a theme? 

  

My sweet readers..I wish you a sweet Valentine's day filled with love letters and beautiful flowers!

What are you plans for this day of LOVE?  

 

My goodness did the weekend go quickly?!  I did get my fill of the whole taking care of business though.  Now back to regular work I suppose.

Doesn't it feel good to do a little bit of clean up and organize in your personal life?  Some Saturdays I feel like I spend hours just organizing the mess that my house has become during the week.  Then on Sunday I can take some time for myself, just a smidge though, they certainly don't want me to get spoiled!  

I picked up these tulips for  myself on Friday and finally used one of my favorite little vases. I am so excited for Spring this year and cannot wait for it to warm up and everything to start blooming again, these give me a little something to keep me going.  Usually January is the most difficult month for me to wait through in anticipation of the coming warmer days ahead.  How about you are you ready for Spring to arrive?

I have a soft spot for the re-purposed  wine jugs.  They are usually such a great natural shape.  I simply adore them with a little grouping of tree branches or full tropical leaves, the perfect accent.

We are celebrating our second Thanksgiving here today (this one is from Saturday).  I was so excited to have a few hydrangea left in the garden to grace the table.  

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with friends and family!

I am wishing for a real feeling of fall here in California, it has been so warm.  I love the beautiful colors that even that creates, but it is not quite like cool mornings and snuggling up.  I am ready to wear boots and scarves and snuggly things!

 

Busy busy days... I thought I would lighten the mood with some of my favorite things... flowers and vintage papers...  I will be installing again today and hopefully I will have something interesting to show you tomorrow!!

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday!  We will be visiting the Long Beach Flea to pick up some items for the installs next week and just trying to get it all organized! 

What are you up to?

Sometimes all you need is a little touch of color to make you smile..  What are your plans for the weekend?  I am going to try and get into my copy of The Great Gatsby this weekend, of course it is not vintage and covered in yellow but I am sure that the story is still just as good!

 Enjoy your Friday my friends!

Just a little something pretty for a Monday morning (because I know we could all use a little something).  I love this color is it sooo mellow!  

Wishing you a wonderful start to another busy summer week!  I promise I will try to get to my photos and recommendations from Puerto Rico, and to a few other semi interesting things around here.

Soft warm blues.. so lovely.  I cannot believe it is already Friday (again).  What do you have planned for the weekend?  We are just catching up around here, breakfast plans with friends and the flea market on Sunday morning.
