Have a Nice Weekend

I haven't been feeling well this week and just found out it is the Flu.  Coughing, scratchy throat, achy.... I would love to curl up in this library and read books and magazines all weekend.  Have a good one!

The Tattered Towel

We have a Westie and Black Lab and ran across this shop on Etsy, The Tattered Towel.  Right now they are  running a special through January on their dog tea towels.  Free personalization on all towels by including their name on the order.  Made of the highest quality materials.  Wonderful gifts for $8.00!!

Out of Stock Forever??

I have been waiting and waiting for this stool to get in stock at Wisteria and still no luck.  I love it and want two of them to flank my fireplace.  We want to recover it in a fabric with smokey blues and cream.

{The 19th-century, European-inspired design makes us feel very regal when one of these sweet stools is tucked beneath the desk awaiting our arrival and doubly so with two poised at the foot of the bed. }

Outdoor Fireplaces

Our weather in the South is staying cold and I feel like I can't warm up.  I hope these pictures of yummy outdoor fireplaces will keep you toasty.  The natural stone and brick on all of these really makes it look great.

Pottery Barn Farmhouse Style

I am loving all the new pieces in the Pottery Barn catalog and on line.  The farmhouse style is so me and makes me want to redo a room, or get a second home!

I love all the soft colors and natural touches they have added.

Have a Nice Weekend

Things have been so busy and hectic these last two weeks, and I hope you can relax over the weekend.

One of my favorite gifts this year was a beautiful, autographed copy of the book, Tablescapes Setting the Table with Style by Kimberly Schlegel Whitman.  The photographs are beautiful and she has amazing tasted in all settings.  The photo above is from her book.  I am sure I will be sharing many more.  It is available at Amazon.com.

Happy New Year 2010

Wishing you all a blessed 2010
