Pick of the Week!

106-83441Hello, and Happy Friday!

Can you believe that we’re shipping fall product already? Time flies!

I just wanted to share one of my favorite pieces for fall. I’ve ordered it already for my living room, and I can’t wait to display it!

It is a Dan DiPaolo piece, and I just love how whimsical it is! I know the picture here is a little bit on the small side, but around the bottom of the pumpkin, it reads, “dance by the light of the moon.” I really like that!

Halloween is absolutely one of my favorite holidays. I already have my costume picked out for this year! Stay tuned for pictures…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Katie's picture1Today is my daughter’s birthday!

She turns 22 and shares this special day with my mother who turns 75.

It was a surprise when Katie was born on her grandmother’s birthday, but what a special event for both!  Rightfully so, she was named after her Mama G, and they have shared 22 years of celebrations together.

I know this sounds so cliché, but it seems like yesterday that this long legged, blonde haired, blue eyed, beautiful baby was born. She entered the world quietly and captured our hearts quickly.
