My Idea of Heaven

My idea of heaven on earth would be to take off during the summer in one of these lovely vintage treasure-filled caravans. I would lounge, read books, play games, rock hunt, cook minimal yet tasty meals, and just be present in that sunlight. To find out more about this amazing book, click here.

Little Joys in the New Year

I found a Georgia O'Keeffe calendar on sale and fell in love. I really enjoy transferring all of my info, birthdays, and other things into my new calendar each year. I also have a new camera that I am having so much fun with! No more dead pixels in my images and now I have many more options. Love it -- thanks Corey! Here are a few photos from around my studio.

Perfect for entertaining 'Madmen' style! This vintage caddy works great for condiments, relishes, even mixed nuts or candy. It spins like a lazy susan with four glass dishes that are removable for easy cleaning. An elegant metal handle leads to the chrome stand with a pretty piece of walnut at the base.

Cappuccino & Treats

Salty caramel chocolate bars, cookie, biscotti and a capp from the delicious and cute Little Bird Bakeshop in Fort Collins -- a must!
