1. A NEW PERFUME. Got a sample in the? mail of Aerin’s new fragrance, Waterlily? Sun (even love the name)? and I have to say I absolutely love it. So much so that I have ordered myself a bottle. I haven’t found a fragrance in a long time that I like quite as much so thought I would share just in case you too are in the market for a new fragrance. New year, time to try new things right?<\/p>\n
2. TILEBAR I am so impressed with the vast selection of Tilebar. I got in one of their goody boxes filled with all kinds of marble samples and they even threw in unexpected things like candy and mini vodka bottles…how fun is that!<\/p>\n Their prices are super competitive and their website is extremely user friendly. We are doing two bathrooms right now and Tile Bar is where I will be getting the materials, great new resource! Just a few that I am considering are below, truly not a bad one in the bunch! Free shipping, free returns and price matching…..who can ask for more! Click here to visit Tilebar.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST. Every week I enjoy sharing what has caught my eye on Instagram and this past week there was no? shortage of beautiful inspiration! Here are some of my favorites……<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. COOKING CLASSES AT BLACKBERRY FARM….SIGN ME UP! I have wanted to visit this luxurious award winning getaway in Tennessee for quite some time now. I was excited to learn that they have a very expansive calendar of cooking classes from some of the culinary stars in today’s immense cooking universe. A friend and I are now trying to figure out when we could swing a visit to partake in one of their fabulous sounding cooking classes.<\/p>\n I wish I could attend the “Taste of the south” on Jan. 8th but there are others that sound equally enticing. Irregardless, this is now shooting straight up to the top of my list of my “to do”s for 2015! Sounds like such fun, and what a dreamy place….have you been? Click here for the full calendar of events <\/a>for 2015 and to learn more about this iconic establishment.<\/p>\n 5. AN INCREDIBLY GOOD NEW RECIPE! ! I thought I had conquered the title of making the best stuffed mushrooms. Well……I was intrigued while prowling Pinterest some time ago when a picture? motivated me to try a new recipe and am I glad I did! These are perhaps the best stuffed mushrooms I have ever<\/em> eaten, soooooo good! I made them over Christmas and it is an understatement to say they were well received and went in no time flat.<\/p>\n We are very lucky to have an old school Italian specialty shop nearby that has incredible meats so I get my sausage there and good tasty sausage is key, but I am sure at any upscale market\/Whole Foods you can get a great sausage that will do the trick. This is an excellent appetizer and one that will be a permanent fixture in my own repertoire that is sure to please…..visit Sweet Sugar Bean for the recipe.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. THE MOST THOUGHTFUL GIFTS FROM? DEAR READERS. I received between my birthday and Christmas two wonderful? and unexpected presents, one from a reader\/customer here in the U.S. and another arrived in the mail all the way from the UK, from a? very dear and most thoughtful reader.? First I received the most beautiful antique blue and white plate with an English mark. Kathy knows of my incessant love for all things blue and white and gifted this beautiful treasure to me for the holidays! I enjoyed displaying cookies on it over the holidays.<\/p>\n Then….imagine my delight when I opened this incredible “almost too pretty to open” blue and white box of beauty. Inside were individually wrapped (beautifully) different flower bulbs, she had read of my love for flowers and my hopes to own a greenhouse soon. A beautiful card and letter accompanied this incredible gift.<\/p>\n There are not words to express my gratitude or how I touched I was to receive both of these extraordinary gifts. When I say I have the best readers, I truly mean it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kathy and Sally….these will be treasures I will look at as a testament to the wonderful friendships I have made through my blog.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. GORGEOUS CHINA!? God knows I do not need another plate for the rest of my living years but these sure do tempt me! Have you seen Toile Tale by Scalamandre? They are so so pretty and come in 4 scrumptious shades, yes I am very tempted. VERY. Plus they are really<\/em> affordable which might make them too good to pass up:) Sold in most dept stores and many places online. A sure way to add beauty to any table……<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Loved seeing it for a charity event by Victoria Drest Designs…<\/p>\n<\/a>I am now enticed (and was surprised to learn there are 4 other fragrances) to try the rest,? as a few of these sound really good!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
