<\/a><\/p>\nNEW MANTLES.<\/strong> VERY excited to have finally,? after waiting 9 long months,? received our mantles for our living and? dining rooms! It was almost a 2 week process to get them installed, very labor intensive as they are extremely heavy and had to be carefully assembled but? they were worth the wait. I am very very pleased. And now finally after almost three years, these rooms are at long last complete. Now, we can being the finishing touch of adding the chinoiserie paper to the dining room and I will be done….oh and window treatments:)? Here’s a look…….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First the living room (pay no attention to “the styling”, these items were placed back there just temporarily)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And? then the dining room in progress….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And ready to see it done??? Here we go……..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BEAUTIFUL ART<\/strong>. I had spoken of how I had hired talented Jeanne from I Dream Of <\/a>to do the ?art for the beautiful topiary I dreamed up ?for my logo,? and true to her talent she delivered. I was so excited to see the actual art arrive last week! It is large enough to frame which I will be doing soon and it will grace my office wall (my next project).<\/p>\n On top of that she sent me the prettiest gift enclosure tags of my topiary logo, they are so pretty!!! I wrapped up a friends gift and put one to use right away. Thank you Jeanne once again for being so incredibly talented.

Let’s just say this is a perk of being homebound for a week, you are home, aren’t driving and feel entitled to your afternoon cocktail! I have a new favorite drink. I have dubbed it the “Tinatini” and have made my husband a believer:)? And don’t look at your watch wondering if it’s OK to pour a drink because? it’s 5:00 somewhere<\/em>! OK here is what you need…..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A splash of Grey Goose or your favorite Vodka<\/p>\n A can of your favorite flavor of San Pellegrino (I am addicted to this stuff)<\/p>\n A tall glass filled to the top with ice<\/p>\n A wedge of lime<\/p>\n A dash of Pellegrino or Perrier (I like it with Perrier grapefruit)<\/p>\n I first add the ice, then the vodka, then fill about 3\/4 with the San Pellegrino and top it with the Perrier and squeeze the lime and voila…you have yourself one refreshing cocktail….cheers! It is soooooooo good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MOVIES.<\/strong> Yet another perk of being in this much<\/em> is the amount of serious movie watching I have done. I will not go over the movies I have watched too many times to count. I will not bore you with how they still make me laugh or cry like? a hyena no instead I will tell you all about some really interesting NEW documentaries and foreign flicks, that if these are your thing..you will LOVE!<\/p>\n If you are like me and enjoy foreign flicks, you must check these out I enjoyed them immensely!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Little White Lies<\/strong> (very well done excellent cast and hey it takes place in France!)<\/p>\n A Royal Affair<\/strong> (Beautiful story and gorgeous cinematography)<\/p>\n Renoir<\/strong> (Amazing and soooo beautiful, reminds me once again how I was absolutely? born in the wrong era)<\/p>\n Happy People:? A year in the Taiga<\/strong> (I thought I would watch this for 10 minutes and switch it off but I was utterly captivated, it is pretty fascinating)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And documentaries, well these are all over the map, but they were all so ?fascinating, I would watch them all over again and probably will!<\/p>\n Three Stars<\/strong> follows the lives and tribulations of nine Michelin chefs on three continents and was incredibly fascinating and got me dreaming about a trip around the world visiting each and every one!<\/p>\n The Short Game<\/strong>? was unbelievable…it follows the months leading up to the world championship for 8 golf pros under 8 years old. You have to see this! I cannot recommend ?this enough, even had my mother raving about it!<\/p>\n And then I watched Linsanity<\/strong> I know I? know..all over the map but you know what, I have to say I really give this guy credit. Inspiring to say the least and if you watch it you will be too, I promise!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MY NEW TOLE.<\/strong> I think this has to be the most exciting thing for me in a long time. I can’t stop staring at it:) ?I cannot tell you how much I am in love with the line. ?Best part are the prices. They are literally A FOURTH of my competitors prices for handpainted tole. Just exquisite!!<\/p>\n I am working as fast as I can to get things sorted, priced, photographed and unpacked and then added to the new shop site<\/a>. With luck this will make its debut in about a week. Here is a tiny sneak peek for your eyes only. Remember for now this is exclusively only at The Enchanted Home Shop<\/a>…..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ?So that is about it over here. Slowly trying to get back in the saddle and resume my every day schedule. I am very busy with my design projoect in the city, and its coming along beautifully, ?I will be sure to share with you pictures as it starts coming together (late Aug. into early Sept hopefully) it is very exciting!<\/p>\n Hope whatever you have in store for the weekend is fun, enjoyable and hopefully relaxing. My son and I will be heading out on Monday to do his official college dorm shopping, definitely very bittersweet. Bracing myself. Hoping everyone has a fabulous weekend. Until next time??.<\/p>\n Last thing announced the arrival of a small batch of more Staffordshire goodies yersterday under my Current Promotion<\/a>, they are so wonderful and it is so sad that the factory has closed.
