Wintery Whites..

 

I have been seeing some lovely winter whites lately.  The chair above makes my heart skip a beat!  Wishing you a wonderful weekend, as fall really starts to kick in around here we are turning up the heat and adding layers, I am very excited!

Over the next few weeks we have some great giveaways scheduled and a holiday gift guide full of goodies which I cannot wait to share with you!  I also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who commented and emailed yesterday, it makes me feel very special to have such a great group of people who support me out there xo.!

Oh my...

 

Oh my... this space makes everything better..  I am going to vent a little... so please forgive me..

Please please everyone remember that every site and every blog has a person behind it or people.  Real people!  People who are hurt by anything rude or inappropriate that you send around about them. Anywhere.  Especially via email, these come right to the inbox- right here on my computer {hello}!  If you are going to take the time to write something and hit the send or post button you should at the very least sign it and realize that I will have a way to contact you maybe even with your very own email address.  So once again if you don't have anything nice to say please do not say anything at all, because to me and so many of us this is all very personal!  Be nice, there is no reason not to!

Okay now- is this room not totally amazing?  I love the color change on the walls I love the soft lines of the linen on the sofa and the combination of textures and pattern in the pillows.  This makes me happy!

Pimlico Magazine {thank you}

  I wanted to say a big thank you to Pimlico magazine for including me along with the other wonderful bloggers in their Winter 2012 issue.  They asked me to share some of my holiday table setting ideas and I think that setting the table can be one of the best parts of entertaining so I was happy to put together some of my favorites!  I offered a little sneak peek a few weeks back and here is the final result. Hopefully my schedule will allow for some entertaining this holiday season that I can share with you here on the blog too.  This issue is full of great ideas from wrapping to what to wear, check it out here.  

 

Here are a few other shots from that day.  It is always fun to have a little photo shoot!

 

Texture and Lignt..

 

Is this not an amazing space?  I love the texture of the brick with the curved lines over the windows.  Such a wonderful detail.  The fresh clean lines of the furnishings are a great way to offset the rustic ceiling in the space.

By Invitation only: Besotted Blog

 

I first discovered Besotted Blog a while back, I am pretty sure I followed one of her fabulous photos from Pinterest into her shop.  I am a sucker for paper goods, packaging, photography and fonts and it is always so fun to find another person who loves these things too!  I have a few stamps from her line and they are so fantastic (I just ordered the antlers and plan to use them on my holiday packages).  Tristan's blog is so fun, she takes the time to write witty posts with great photos and has completely convinced me to put a calligraphy starter kit on my Christmas list.  

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

A little grey for Monday...

 

To be honest I could have used just one more day before we hit Monday.  I know it sounds selfish but I am tired even with the extra hour.  I love this space it is so easy going, perfect for spending the day reading and relaxing.

I hope you have an easy going day!

Wishing you an inspired Sunday!
