As usual, it was a warm and sunny Christmas day here in Los Angeles and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love it. I remember riding my brand new skateboard in my brand new fringe boots and denim Guess mini skirt in the 80’s on a sunny Christmas morning and marveling in it… …
Downer Alert: I Thought This was It
I’ll never have a baby. And as soon as I stop thinking that way for even just a minute, I am reminded of it in the worst possible way. The hope/disappointment cycle reminds me of my relationship with my late father, which now that I think about it, has always been a part of my …

Dining Room Need: More Storage
Our Thanksgiving table, 2010 & DIY pop art canvases It has come to my attention that we are in dire need of more kitchen and dining room storage and a proper bar. Yes, maybe it’s because I keep buying dishes and glassware and decanters that I don’t necessarily need but when I find a gem …
Around the House as of late & New Acquisitions
I can feel it in the air… the holidays are coming. I know it’s early and I’m not going crazy or anything but a few semi-spooky items have landed in various areas of our house and I love it. Though, I kind of lean toward that kind of kookiness in general and may just keep …
Help us Decide What to Name Stray Cat!
If you follow me elsewhere {twitter, facebook, instagram} you’d know that we’ve sort of adopted a stray cat. For me, this is kind of huge because I’ve always been of the mind that you do not under any circumstances feed stray cats in fear of, well, I dunno what. But I’ve also never been in …
* How I Re-grew My Orchids *
For at least 7 years, if not 10, I have tried and failed at regrowing my orchids. So while this seems like a bit of a boring post, I am silly with excitement over the fact that I regrew not one but TWO ORCHIDS… but also, you guys keep asking me how I did it… …
Thank heaven for little girls, for little girls get bigger every day, they grow up in the most delightful way!
Last Wednesday I had a little free time and knowing that my mom watches my niece, Delilah on Wednesdays for my bro & sis in law {and always secretly hopes I will come play with them} I decided to do just that. I spent quite a few hours with the two of them and just …
* Friday I’m In Love *
It seems that I share more personal things about my life, including silly photos of my dogs & daily pleasures, on Instagram & Twitter and less and less here. And since not everyone has Twitter or Instagram accounts or even follows me on Facebook, I thought I’d share a few new things I’m in love …
Hooked on Mon Mode …my bag, that is!
The fabulous people behind the genius Mon Mode bag hook graciously sent me the black crocodile hook to hang my bag on …and I must admit, I was kind of a skeptic. I didn’t think for one minute this little hook was going to be strong enough to hold my bag off the edge of …
Taking Out… Eating In… Menus… Organizing…
Though I’m creative in many ways, when it comes to food, I draw a complete blank. And when I do cook, I’m such a freak about the meal turning out perfectly that I completely stress out about it …as if I’m cooking for The Queen. It always ends up tasting good, but the process is …
You will see, that it is not the Spoon that bends …it is only yourself.
Besides my very favorite heart shaped spoon {above}, which you may remember from my Yogurt Pie Recipe Post {which I WILL be making for Easter}, the silverware or, flatware to be correct, that lives in our house is a mix of a modern/simple handled variety, {mine} and a more ornate/floral pattern {the husband’s}. I don’t …

A Few of My Favorite Fast Foods
If you follow my Tweets you know that I am mostly made of peanut m&m’s …IF we’re going by the we are what we eat theory, but that’s only when I’m at the gallery {mindlessly popping one after another in my mouth as stress builds and releases throughout the day}. On the regular though, I’m …
* My 3 Tier Beverage Dispenser *
One of my favorite housewarming gifts {from this lovely lady & her family} is my 3 tier drink dispenser from Z Gallerie. I use it so often and find it so useful! {and get many emails/questions about} You can use it with two or three – or even one if you wish. It’s easy to …
