Scenes from the weekend

A weekend for enjoying the beautiful sunshine, hanging curtains and cutting out (yet more) paper hearts.

Coveting

in an idle day-dream, I'm coveting a collection of (tiffany) blue colored bracelets.

Scenes from the weekend

Out on the town Friday night with our nephews - a performance of STOMP followed by refreshments at the famed House of Pies. A big helping of fun.

My beloved Edgar

An amazing drawing by Houston artist, David A. Parks. And an early valentine from my very own valentine. This drawing beautifully captures the essence of my sweet, timid big guy and I so love it! There is a miniature print on my desk at work too.

Savings on John Robshaw

Squirrel watching, laughing with friends and making valentines.

Textile inspiration

I follow a fair number of blogs dedicated to decorating and design and have tried to pick up a few ideas here and there as we continue to feather our nest.

With not much of a budget (OK, none) for furnishings, I'm counting on textile accessories to help establish a cohesive feeling within rooms, and between rooms.

Four of these pillow are from textile designers whose work I adore (John Robshaw and Mary Mulcahy), the rest are simply lovely handmade pieces from individuals who sell the fruits of their creativity via etsy.
