a little reminder at my hubby's bedside...
Printable from HERE. Aren't these lovely? Thank you Paper Coterie!
prettiness bedside
Hubby is out of town so sister and I spent the last two days in shopping bliss. I picked up a new lamp from Back Home for my bedside table yesterday. And my sister was right, I woke up happy looking at it.
I brought this childhood picture out just to remind myself of simpler times. And the sterling antique leaf dish is an heirloom from my Great Aunt who worked at Neiman Marcus decades ago. The pearls are a gift from my husband and I wore them on my wedding day. And the cork shade on the lamp, well, it does remind me of my favorite sound. Pop... Wishing you a weekend of prettiness and happiness!
a room with all the things a girl loves
a love story ends
I have to share a touching story. On Tuesday, Granddaddy passed
away, somewhat unexpectedly. And after she was told by her best friend that
her husband had died, Granny took her last breath passing away just hours
after Granddaddy. They were both ill, in separate specialized facilities.

Granny had brutally battled cancer for six years and within the last year,
Granddaddy swiftly declined in health from Alzheimer's. Granny loved
Granddaddy so much that she just couldn't leave him. Now may they live

This fortune has been on my desk for years. I made it pretty to share with all of you.
Our Cabana (re-furnished and rearranged)
I had to exchange my Restoration Hardware outdoor Provence wicker pieces. Here's the before:
The sofa blocked the fireplace from the spa (picky husband) and the low backs on the Provence collection made the chairs uncomfortable. I kept the dining pieces from the Restoration Hardware Provence outdoor collection, but the rest had to go back. sigh....
Did you know that outdoor wicker smells like plastic when the pieces are under the sun (even in winter)? Unpleasant side effect for such pretty pieces. Especially since Austin, Texas is known for 300+ days of sunshine.
