passion for roses

i was reading a wonderful blog tonight... the devine life. discussing roses.. another passion... and discovered a perfect specimen... reine des violettes... i will be on the hunt this week looking for this beauty... wow!

i am a foodie

i love really good food. dean and deluca, joans on third, ina, jamie oliver, restaurants, cookbooks, cooking, baking you name it. now... i am out of control with a new blog i found. www.lottieanddoof.com.  if you love food, you will love the blog and begin whipping things up immediately... (as i did at 8:30 the other night when i discovered it!) first on the list, the best oatmeal cookies  what are some of your favorite recipes, restaurants or food tips?

nesting

i dont know what it is... too much craziness and not enough sleep? everyone seems tired these days and wanting to rest and "nest". i thought i would pass this sweet room along for others to relish as i do. enjoy and hope you are all having a wonderful day and sleep well...

a dream come true...

tomorrow is going to be like christmas morning... i have been waiting for years for this gift. 1stdibs.com has finally chosen seattle as their new city and red ticking will become part of the site. here is a sneak preview... and could have NEVER done this without my brilliant photographer and friend john granen... check out his amazing site. johngranen.com. 

cool chairs

i am in buying mode and found these chairs... they made me happy. they are classic, elegant and thought i would ask my talented friends... what do you think? should i pull the trigger?

restful sleep

i have had alot going on lately (not complaining...i am truly blessed) and i am looking forward to a good night's sleep... so on that note, i would love to crawl into this little nest...but i have to say, i am grateful for mine...

easter lily

i love all flowers... but this has to be one of my favorites. the beauty and fragrance is so amazing and fresh. whenever i see my first one in the spring, i immediately take one home and put another in my store. they are so simple, yet so elegant. happy easter everyone...my favorite holiday...full of faith and hope.
