MY NEW SOFA!?<\/em> <\/strong>After a looooong wait, I got the gorgeous new EJ Victor sofa for my living room. Love it, its done in a cream raw silk (but upholstery weight) and we did tonal pillows as I will have pillows made eventually from the fabric I choose for the eventual chairs but in the meantime the blue pillows look gorgeous on it. Love the detailing on the bouillon fringe\/tape and this is such a comfortable sofa..its down filled and fabulous, worth the wait.<\/p>\n

GORGEOUS CUSTOM ARTWORK<\/strong><\/em>. I always talk about how awestruck I am by anyone who has been given the amazing gift of being a naturally gifted artist. Jeanne from I Dream Of <\/a>is one such talent. Her work just bowls me over every time! I have worked with her a few times and each time was just mesmerized by the result. I love the beautiful gingers jars I commissioned her to draw and she took it one step further and sent me the most wonderful surprise!!<\/p>\n

Imagine how excited I was to open this pretty package! She had the art matted and ready to be framed and included some wonderful ginger jar gift tags….LOVE IT ALL! These are now a focal point of inspiration as I work on a new office for myself this summer.? Thanks Jeanne….if you have a project in your future, you must consider uber talented Jeanne. Click here<\/a> to visit her at her blog, I Dream Of<\/a> where you can also find her contact information.<\/p>\n

?AN AMAZING TIME LAPSE VIDEO<\/em><\/strong>. I found this on Pinterest and must say I was immediately intrigued, what a phenomenal idea. I sure wish I had the foresight to do this with my own kids… what an amazing keepsake of your child growing up!<\/p>\n

Here is an excerpt about this video-<\/p>\n

An?incredible 14 years in the making, this viral video?shows?Lotte Hofmeester grow from a baby to a beautiful teen in a mere 4 minutes and five seconds.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lotte’s father,?Frans?Hofmeester, started taking video of his daughter as soon as she was born on?October 28, 1999. “She was changing at such a rapid pace, that I felt the need to document the way she looked, to keep my memories intact,” he writes on his website.?<\/em><\/p>\n

The result of his perseverence is this?gorgeous tribute to the first 14 years of his daughter’s life, and a heartbreaking?expression of the common experience of all parents who watch their children grow from infants into adults right before their eyes.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
