____________<\/p>\n

Our weekend was much more uneventful than last weekend (the blizzard). So happy that is but a distant memory though we have plenty of reminders around us (heaps of snow).<\/p>\n

Some of our plans were curtailed as my husband has been sick so we had to bow out of? dinner with friends and we missed going on Friday night to the Winter Antiques Show in NYC which is always a drool worthy event so crossing my fingers for today, last day! The Winter Antiques Show has so much beauty under roof, always an amazing event to be a part of.<\/p>\n

I want to thank every single one of you and so far it’s 440 and counting that have participated in my readers poll for my shop….wowza!! I was blown away by how many took part and reading over your comments is just beyond gratifying (even those that offer constructive criticism thankfully there were only 2 or 3 of those) but I so appreciate all of the feedback more than you know. It will help me to be improve and evolve, I so look forward to reading the rest today. Click here if you missed it<\/em><\/a>.? And here we go with my Seven on Sunday……<\/p>\n

1 A BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ. Every now and then you pick up a book that just stays with you, a book so powerful, poignant and equally spectacular. A book? that changes your perspective a bit. This is one such book, not to mention there is a forward by another favorite author Abraham Verghese (wrote one of my faves, Cutting for Stone).<\/p>\n

Cannot recommend When Breath Becomes Air by Dr. Paul Kalanithi? highly enough, just be sure you have a brand new box full of tissues, it will pull at your heartstrings from start to finish. This courageous story is brilliantly and breathtakingly told by a promising young neurosurgeon only in his thirties, who learns of his terminal cancer fate.? There is also a fabulous write up in the Times about the book (click here to read<\/a><\/em>), one of the best books I have ever read and equally heartbreaking.? Truly a must read! Click here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

2. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST. Always look forward to this because I get so share my faves on Instagram….just astounds? me how there is never a shortage of incredible and beautiful inspiration to share!! Here are my picks this week.-<\/p>\n

\"i12wndex\"<\/a> \"index433\"<\/a> \"inddwwdex\"<\/a> \"indddfex\"<\/a> \"indgffex\"<\/a> \"ivvffndex\"<\/a> \"invvffdex\"<\/a> \"indennbbx\"<\/a> \"indenbx\"<\/a> \"invcdex\"<\/a> \"inw2dex\"<\/a> \"i1qndex\"<\/a> \"indeddssx\"<\/a> \"indecxdx\"<\/a> \"11qindex\"<\/a> \"index66t\"<\/a> \"indd3dex\"<\/a> \"indfdfex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. PILLOW POWER. You know my feelings on pillows….adore them! I have some incredible pillows that will be part of an exclusive line coming up for The Enchanted Home very soon. In the meantime needed a pair for my window seat by the backdoor to finish off the space and found a beautiful duo over at? Pop O’Color.<\/p>\n

Upon further looking I found so many gorgeous pillows, my head was spinning! It worked out because I have an edesign customer looking to give her patio a spruce up (lives in Cali, lucky lady so she gets to use it year round). Came up with 8 fabulous pillows that could all be interchanged, she is in the process of deciding now…..all so pretty! Click here to view all of Pop o’ Color’s? pillows<\/em><\/a>….and be on the lookout for a very exciting pillow promotion coming this way soon.<\/p>\n
