Weekend wishes...


I spent a little time this week cleaning up my office to send some pictures off to an editor.. let's all keep our fingers crossed for me!  I wish is could always look like this but typically it looks like a bomb went off in my office with piles of paperwork and samples just about everywhere.  Maybe it will last the weekend?... 

Some fun things you might like to get you through the weekend...

Want/Need - those are the same thing right?
Everyone seems to be planning a Spring trip this year.. I could use a tropical island right about now and this would be the perfect piece.
After our visit to Lynmar Winery last fall I have been searching for a great salted cookie recipe.. I think this one might be a keeper. 
We are all in need of a great design book..  I am so looking forward to The Inspired Home: Nests of Creatives coming out on the 11th of March.


Happy March my friends!

waiting for Spring...


The weeks are flying by and I cannot believe tomorrow it will be March.  I picked up a little bit of Spring the other day and they have been a gorgeous pick me up every time I enter the room!
It is stormy and raining here today and should last through the weekend which is good - maybe I will get some work done.  Wishing you a wonderful Friday filled with the possibility of Spring.

Planting: Eden and Evelyn roses


Lately I have been a little obsessive about my garden, here in California the sun has been shining and it has been pretty warm so I have been feeling like it is the perfect time to get started on really planting my garden.  It is a bit of a challenge for me as we took almost everything out of our yard last year when we put in the pool, so I have been planning and scheming for months as to what I could plant.  I have been dreaming of these two beauties for much longer than that and finally I should be able to plant some in the next few weeks.  If I can just find them at the nursery, I am a little ahead of the game this year, so I am patiently awaiting their arrival.  Eden and Evelyn are two of my favorite roses... I am so excited!  

 I know that just about everyone has a favorite and I would love to hear which roses you prefer.  I am looking for more ideas and have a lot of space to fill.


They are described as having a double or full head... which to means perfect.


David Austin describes the Evelyn as follows: bears giant, apricot colored flowers of a shallow, saucer-like shape, with numerous small petals inter-twined within. This is not the most vigorous of English Roses, but the individual flower is absolutely magnificent. Its great glory is its wonderful fragrance, which is similar in style to an Old Rose, but with a sumptuous fruity note reminiscent of fresh peaches and apricot. Named on behalf of Crabtree & Evelyn, who used it in their range of rose perfumes.

Linen..


Vintage linen is one of my favorite items in this world.  I love the softness it has while still having great visual texture.  The color is always slightly different from one piece to the next and the piece with embroidery always amaze me.

weekend wishes...


It is always amazing how a week with no plans fills to the brim..  maybe there were things to do and I was pretending that my schedule was open.. who knows.. Last week proved to be quite busy indeed and it bled right into the weekend.  I hope you are enjoying yours!

Here are a few of my favorite things from this week to keep you going..

These may have found their way into my cupboard but there are still so many left for you!
We added some amazing newly discovered art pieces to the shop.
Everyone seems to be looking for a getaway right about now.. I love this idea!
Work picked back up in Palm Springs this week... and a big Thank You to all of my Pinterest partners in crime I hit 25,000!
Another big Thank You goes out to Houzz for naming me in their Best Of 2014!
I really love everything this girl does...

Have a wonderful Sunday friends..

weekend wishes...


My goodness this week has been a little wild and the weekend is even fuller!  We are off to the Chinese New Year parade in LA today by train... super fun... I hope so!  And a little trip to the Flea Market this Sunday morning sounds about right.

What do you have planned?  

Here are a few things to keep us from losing it during the big game!

Some fun info and pretty pictures..
I think that someone I love should make me this for Valentines day... I'm just sayin.
Some days just call for a comfortable wordy T.
Swing arm wall lights have been calling my name.. this one or that one will do nicely.

xo have a great weekend!

Is it Spring yet?  I really could use the green and the flowers..  I know it is only January but I need it! Lately I have been coming across some great inspiration.. I love the solid blue above with the brick wall, perfect and simple.  Don't forget to take a little time to day dream today too!

Celebrating 2013 {part two}


"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential."   Ellen Goodman
