I HAVE NOT BEEN THIS EXCITED about a new shop here in town in a very long time. I just got back from peeking in @ Domestic Bliss's shop called Found and if I were you I would not miss coming down for opening night..that's TONIGHT. In my opinion Kristen & Dan Alber (the owners) knocked this one out of the park and I feel so lucky to live so close. While you're at it take the opportunity to peek in @ Decesare Design (I posted DD group here) group and ATJ's studio..you will die @ the talent and beauty that comes from all of these fine folks.

what I love about....

Good morning all..come check me out over on Kirsten's fabulous 6th Street Design blog (I love her blog). I had so much fun participating in her "what I love about" series. You may even see something that has to do with being in my bedroom. Don't be shy come on over and say hi, right here.

Speaking of bedroom..the above are snippets of scenes from my bedroom. I've had the same bedroom setup for almost 8 years and just as I am ready to invest in a rug and window treatments, I want to redo the whole thing. I guess the beauty of it all is that I did almost everything via the discount highway so I can easily justify that one. One of my all time favorite thrifting items exists as the piece of signed art in the top photo. That piece is done by a French artist. On Ebay all of the pieces range from about $700 to $7000. Not too bad since I only paid $5.00 and bought it because I loved the colors that are in it. Oh for the love of thrift.

green with warmth

As I sat there ironing this little girl's shirt with the large bow on it I thought that the timing to thinking she had a heart that is rather large for her small frame was rather apropos. I love that the large bow sits right over that warm spot in her chest. As she put on the freshly ironed shirt she said, "Thanks Mom, this nice warm shirt makes me feel so good". Funny thing was that we both were feeling warm & good at that very same time but in different ways.

From this day on I vow to look @ ironing in a whole different way...I may even like doing it a little more (at least for today).

P.S. - Is it weird to see pictures of interiors flash through one's head as they iron the above shirt because they matched?
