Silverware...I don't think I can get enough!

Sterling silverware...

I can spot it's luster across a crowded thrift store floor...

If not there, they have it behind the counter and you have to ask to see it...

and I do!

Getting back into the shop and making plans...

It's almost the end of January 

I'm just now getting into the New Year groove!

Sharing one of my favorite daily painters...

I love art

I love painting

I adore a loose + juicy brush stroke!

Leaping Lotus...where we've been...

Seems like things move slow sometimes...

thank goodness for my iPhoto archives!

Is it unreasonable to try to live everyday like it's Sunday?

What I mean by that is to fully enjoy the day...like you do on Sunday.

Wake up, smell the fresh coffee brewing, 

breeze through a magazine, Pinterest, favorite blogs 

looking at pretty pictures and being inspired.

(painting I recently sold in my Etsy shop)

Take my little shop dog on her morning walk, 

 love how everyday is so new to her.

That's all I have to say for now...
back to enjoying a lazy day at home...
its Sunday.

Enjoy

While I'm away...working in LA...

I got home last night... 

from getting started on my LA project...

 and up early this morning preparing to serve breakfast

to family who are in town for the holidays. 

But first...a few photos of the fun merchandise I'm setting up 

in the CMA showroom 

in preparation for the LA Home & Gift Market

Just a note before heading off to LA...

I know I've been MIA from blogging...

it is a bit of a juggling act actually...

and I think you've heard that from me several times before!
