Lantern!

Look at this incredible lantern Dean found at a sale. 45 bucks. He's going to wire it so it lights up. But even with the sunlight streaming through it, it's spectacular! Can't wait to see it at night when it's done. My patio is looking so great these days!

Striving for Serenity

Hey, my blogiversary is almost here! Remember last year around this time (it was actually November) I posted about traveling to NorCal to do a show? I'm going back to the same place this year. Rain is in the forecast. I get nervous driving in the rain. Must strive for serenity - it's a long journey. Look at these lovely serene pictures from a benefit Dean and I went to recently. Talk about peaceful. More to come! Oh and I have a killer Walnut Cookie recipe to share with you too - no butter! But that's for next time.

I'm still here

It's been quiet lately. Ree Drummond of Pioneer Woman Blog fame says, water your blog every day. Even for a minute. She might be on to something, but I have a lot on my plate every day and sometimes, blogging falls by the wayside. That said, I'll try and keep up more this fall.

Check out the Eames/Saarinen designed fireplace. Dean and I went to a benefit. I swear, if this were in my house, I would always be in front of it. It was so beautiful, I wanted to cry.

Also, for a new recipe, google coffee and donuts cake. Looks amazing - but too much work for me!

Happy Fall!
