Hi friends, hope you are well. Here,  we are finally settling in and I think within the next week to ten days,  we should be pretty much done. Not to say there are not bags and boxes (many) in closets and rooms to sort through and find a place for but that will be over time. The important things are getting sorted that we need day to day.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions for the pjs! Good to know I am not the only one who places a lot of importance on them in my life! I ended up ordering from two of the suggested companies and will be sure to update you!

Had a fun Valentine’s Day dinner with special friends and a Galantines Lunch as well, it was so nice to put on actual clothes (not the scrubby hings I was wearing for the move), earrings, makeup and feel like a “real person” for the first time in 9 days (after moving). Look forward to a nice quiet day at home today and getting to babysit Phillip will be the highlight of my day, for sure.  Is it me or is 2025 already flying by just a bit too fast? Before you know it, we will be in March! Though truth is, I am done with winter and anxious to move right into spring. OK onward to my post today…

1 BEAUTIFUL TOLE IN THE WORKS! Our growing chinoiserie tole line I must say is quite exceptional and just getting better. Wanted to share some progress shots of the items in production, these will be here in April. All of these lamps are our best sellers and we have doubled up on our usual quantities.

They take a long tine to make, but so worth the wait. The craftsmanship is bar none and are among some of my favorite pieces. There are many new things also in production so this is going to be an exceptional shipment.

 

PS For many who asked these beauties I featured last weekend, they are in production and will be coming in on the same container. We will hold a presale early to mid March.

 

2 A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE TOUR Meg Braff is a well known designer  in the design industry, her beautiful aesthetic  is very cheery with a Palm Beach flair. Here is a look at her beautiful home…

 

 

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Just random beauty that caught my eye…

 

4 THE PERFECT BLUE AND WHITE MAXI SKIRT I had to order this, think its so chic, I can see it paired with a crisp white button down, a white twin set or a pretty white blouse. Very chic for spring/summer. A very pretty skirt from a line that is new to me, Anna Cate.  Click here

 

 

 

5 ABOUT WHITE KITCHENS Read this article over at Martha Stewart and found it interesting. For me, a classic white kitchen is always in style. I plan to do one. I think the trick is the hardware, accessories, lighting to keep it from feeling too trendy. At least that is my opinion.

6 A GREAT EVERYDAY AND TRAVEL TOTE. I had bought this because I am tote person and saw it on someone and asked where she got it. I carry totes every day to and from my office. When traveling I try to bring one suitcase and a big tote that I can squeeze everything into. I have a few I love that I rotate.  This one was a great find, soft leather, super duper roomy, a big detachable interior pocket, a makeup bag and a shoulder trap. Checks all the boxes!

True fact- as we are still bringing the final little odds and ends from house to house, I used this tote to carry loads of things back and forth,  books, magazines and in one trip- a big stack of dinner plates. It went the distance:) Mine is a very dark navy which almost looks black.

Old Trend is offering  30% off their entire site (code enchanted30). Beautiful, good looking, nice quality leather goods. Click here

I like the stitch detailing a lot

 

LOVE all the interior pockets, one huge one, one small cosmetics bag (both detachable) and two roomy zippered side pockets, fits SO much

 

The way it came in handy during many trips back and forth from house to house carrying last minute odds and ends, in this case books and magazines:)

7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY I think we all know the rechargeable lamps are all the rage. Where have they been all my life! I love them and they are so practical and just getting prettier and prettier. I love the take on them in porcelain! Thinking about adding these and would love your opinion! These are 11″ tall and would be around $80.00 (with shade). Thoughts?

I love your take on the cordless lamp. I will definitely be purchasing a blue one. Your toile lamps are so beautiful. I just might need one of those as well.

Tina, your former kitchen will always be the standard bearer of the perfect kitchen. Do you know the number of Pinterest pins that were made of your kitchen?! I’d like to know.! Yes, it was white, but warm, and the wood beams were just perfect. Can’t wait to see your new creation!

Oh those rechargeable lamps! How soon can buy three! I LOVE them and am thinking kitchen counter, powder room, two on my dresser, maybe one in my small entry, I could go on and on!!!

Oh yes on those lamps, and what a great price point! I’m sure they’ll be a hit! Definitely will be buying! Have a wonderful Sunday with your grandson!

I love the rechargeable idea, but I think you should add a Black and White option….. I think it would cross over to Modern Interiors which might not have blue, but want this style option.

Definitely love the look of your rechargeable lamp. The price point is great and I’m interested in the blue one. I also love the other lamp that will be coming in soon. Thanks for all you do!

Tina ~ thanks for a great 7/S. My fave treat of the week via blogs. Honestly. 🥰
Love the mini cordless lamps. And I vote YES. The only thing is that the finish looks a little too ~ copper or bronze tinted ? Can you make it more of a marre brass or matte gold ? Just so they look a little more old school ? That would really set them apart from all the modern ish designs out there right now. A lot to ask I know. But some of us readers are very particular to details like you are. 😊 happiest of sundays to you ~ enjoy that sweet angel 🥰

Love the rechargeable lamps! Can’t wait to buy 2 of the blue ones. Your blog posts make my day! Not sure where you get your energy to write, move a whole home’s worth of furnishings, manage 2 remodels, run a business, & have time for grand-baby smooches. I want your secret

Thank you so much for the tote recommendation! I ordered …..Excited for its arrival!

Love everything you are showing. Your chinoiserie lamps are exquisite I own two. GREAT price point too. Do you know Two Worlds Art? Bought two from them years ago for around 900 each. Yours are even prettier and a fraction, so thank you for bringing us such sophisticated pieces at affordable prices.
Love the tote, and going to order it. I am so sick of logos!
YES to those rechargeable lamps. How soon will you have them. I am hosting a bridal shower in June and would love to have them for the shower. I will email your company email to find out. Love your Sunday posts, always enjoyable and so inspiring.

We are driven crazy with your wonderful posts, here in Australia. We have been able to purchase a few items in Peter’s, but we are unable to access your exquisite pieces. Please consider overseas postings for at least some of your items.
Love your style, very much a style seen here. I’m very much a blue and white china girl, with a love of oriental style details. Your pieces are so well designed.
