beautiful!!  everything this little flower shop does is a-mazing.

We heard this as a child,and now, men need to hear it as adults.  Beautiful ties made by Collared Greens.  And! they even come in perfect, little packaging (my favorite).  Moms are right…collared greens ARE good for us!

Stripes can be used everywhere - my favorite are wide, bold ones!

Two tone of the same color or two different colors…makes no difference to me.  SO pretty.

Three scales of pattern are used in this interior:

1.  Wallpaper :  Narrow tailored Asprey stripe in citron (Pattern 7710-244).

2.  Chair front & cushion:  Upholstered with large floral toile, Avignon in lime. (Pattern 7705-851F) .

3.   Chair back and edge of cushion: Upholstered with a wide four inch tonal stripe, Sutton in kiwi. (Pattern 7710-562F).

See all that you can do with STRIPES?!

Can’t get to Russia soon enough?  Need to entertain the little ones?  The cooking in your kitchen doesn’t measure up to your expectations?  Here is just the thing you need!  M-Cups…just like traditional Russian matryoshkas.  My youngest sister used to be entertained by these dolls for hours!  Now, they can entertain you in the kitchen.

what could be more delicious than cookies filled with buttercream icing?  mmmmm… WannaHavaCookie makes all sorts of scrum-dittili-umptious whoopie pies.  The perfect little favor gift, the perfect little snack for a sweet tooth like myself, all with the perfect little tin packaging for a few dozen…or more!

Ooooh, LOVE me some pillows!!  (as you can see from my previous post…)  Can’t get enough!  The perfect accent for anywhere in your house.  If you want to change up the way a room looks, just switch out the pillows and add a fresh look!  Thomas Paul just came out with some new patterns that are beeee-utiful!
