It's Spring at my house.  I know we have three more weeks until it is official, but I am ignoring that measly fact.  Time to change out the couch pillows for the season!  This is Pottery Barn's Spring offering, which works very well for me.  They also have an adorable print with birds on it, […]

I don't know what is up with me this week.  I feel so lazy it is embarrassing.  Go to work?  I don't wanna.  Sew?  I don't wanna.  Read a book?  Maybe, if I can lie down and prop it up on a pillow.  And maybe have someone turn the pages for me. Maybe I have […]

Hello.  Welcome to my bathroom.  I just got a new beauty product I must share with you. In downtown Carmel, there is a beauty boutique (selling mainly bath products) called Lush.  (You don't have to actually go there, there is a website).   Lush has made a name for itself as a company that only […]

I forgot to show you a picture of The Bowl.  I stopped at Pottery Barn on the way home from work yesterday and picked up some do dads to put in it.  I love the simplicity and shape of this bowl so much.  Seriously, this bowl must weigh over five pounds!  And Mary Ann carried […]

I had a little accident yesterday.  I was drinking my morning coffee while I read my email and somehow managed to knock my cup over and spill coffee all over my laptop keyboard. Ooops.  It started making a terrible crackling noise and then…   No, it didn't burst into flames like the one in the picture above, but […]
