paris dreams....

Roland Garros pic via wikapedia

i'm such a tennis fan.....
so i would love to be in paris this weekend.....
we were lucky enough to go there 2 summers ago
and it was love at first sight...


these were taken by my children....
looking out our hotel window.....

could have gained a 100 pounds here....

the paris trip was totally the inspiration for
the eiffel tower necklaces.....
since i can't be there
i'll be watching the french open on tv
and dreaming of paris.......

hope you have a lovely weekend

love letter pillow......


i am completely in love with these
by designs maya made......
.
This little lavender-scented pillow is perfect for tucking in sweet love notes to your child or special someone. Made from linen with a felted heart pocket on the front and the owner's initial printed onto the back. Each pillow is filled with a combination of buckwheat and lavender... warm it up and snuggle. A cotton twill ribbon makes it easy to hang on a bed post or drawer pull. From a tooth fairy pillow to a "kiss and make up" pillow... it's sure to be loved.

i love new books.....



these books are so great
i'm so excited about getting this one this past weekend

this one is next.....

...........and i have a few that i can't even read
but i love the photos and styling
