1 SPRING!!! So excited that spring is here which means flowers, green grass and gardening. I bought my first batch of impatients, I always buy white. Against the green they are always so beautiful.<\/p>\n
This particular breed takes all day sun and as long as you water them daily..they will continue to provide an entire summer of blooms. Here is how things are starting to shape up around here, just took out the cushions yesterday and will soon add my pillows and various blue and white accents…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fresh basil…a must!<\/p>\n My wonderful “raised bed” kits…great idea!<\/p>\n Got this pair of gorgeous very large myrtle topiary and put them in my new fishbowls on my island, love the effect-pardon the mess in the background I was cooking:)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2 LADYLIKE KATE. I love her, she is so adorable and likable…and love her ladylike style. I also almost always love her fashion choices, current looking yet classically elegant. Take a look at some recent looks from the last month that Kate wore during her very busy globetrotting schedule…..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. NEW WALLPAPERS TO LUST AFTER. The first one is what started this obsession with Stromheim papers…been a fan of their classically beautiful papers for a long time but am brainstorming as to how\/where I can use at least one of these!! Click here to see all of Stronheim’s papers.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n And how fabulous is that amazing ginger jar paper in these colorways too……so fun!!<\/p>\n 4.INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Never at a loss of beauty to share, and this weeks bounty is quite beautiful, hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. MY NEW BFF. I must say I LOVE this stuff. Less than $3.00 and worth its weight in gold. It is amazing for so many things, copper, any kind of metal, when you have glue stains on things, ceramic, porcelain. In fact for my own porcelains, most love the antique glaze but if you don’t you can remove it with this magic in a can.<\/p>\n Removes soap stains, rust and a million things. If you want to see some astounding before and afters as if you need any more convincing, click here<\/em><\/a>. Everyone should have this on hand and never be without!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. A FASCINATING DOCUMENTARY. I had seen this maybe four years ago and was completely captivated and obsessed. It was such a compelling story and tragic in many ways too. Frankly one I am surprised many history\/art classes do not discuss in school.<\/p>\n If you have an hour or so to spare, love art, are fascinated by intrigue, then trust me, you WILL love this documentary as much as I did, loved it so much I bought it and watched it again yesterday.<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/XMe3r9PLtpI<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. KATE SPADE.\u00a0 I must say I have not really paid much attention to her line, but I have fallen in love with a number of items, including this perfect cognac every day tote below which is en route to me as we speak! I LOVE anything with a basketweave\/woven\/rattan effect so really loving this chic tote. Click here to see-<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n You know how white bags are always tricky, only a few look great and most look well….cheap. And a dressier white bag is even more challenging. Kind of like white shoes. Well…..I was so excited to find this fabulous little bag.<\/p>\n I snatched it right up and its at a price I didn’t’ have to justify to myself, always a perk!! This has the elegance of a Kelly bag without the price tag:) I know I am going to get a lot of use out of this smart looking bag,\u00a0 and best part my white bag of the season quandary is solved! Click here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n And then look at all these shoes….loving every one of them and always a sucker for anything with a bow! Click here to view<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Click here<\/em><\/a> to view all shoes from Kate Spade<\/p>\n Well that about sums things up over here, going to be another spectacular day so I am excited to spend it gardening. Hope whatever you are up to is relaxing and exactly what you want to be doing:) Until next time…..<\/p>\n PS The response to the porcelain sale was so fantastic, that we fell behind in acknowledging your orders so I have decided to extend it until today at 5pm.
