Starstruck: Martyn Lawrence Bullard

Yesterday I spent the morning at the Design Center to attend a lecture and book signing by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. I didn't know what to expect, but assumed to be entertained as he seems to be such a fascinating person. Over all, I was blown away by his wit, charm and very interesting background and stories. Not to mention his memorable one liners...he had every one intrigued, laughing and falling in love with him all at once.

When I met him to get my book signed I was once again pleasantly surprised as he took his time talking to me, beautifully signed my book and had me blushing by the time we took a picture together. He is more fabulous then he seems on tv and his talent is beyond measurable. Such a great day!

He looked so dapper - head to toe.



Me blushing...

Just love him.

 Some of my favorite images from his book...

Antler Trophy's

A dear friend asked me where to find an antler trophy, so I thought I would source a few for those of you on the hunt for one. They make great wall accessories and even though I'm an animal lover, I like to think I am honoring these beautiful creatures.

Accessory Inspiration

What a quick week, time got away from me!

One thing I'm constantly on the hunt for are accessories. Finding unique items to fill your space with interest and spunk can be difficult, which is why I constantly seek out consignment and antique shops. Arranging accessories can also be tricky, so here are a few vignettes for inspiration. Have a lovely weekend!

Cheery Valentines

While Valentine's day is supposed to be romantic, I like to think of it as a day to tell every one how much you love them. I came across some darling ideas to send to those special people on Olive and Cocoa...take a look.

Hugs to all of you! XOXO

Monday Inspiration

I'm not usually a pink person, but in honor of Valentine's day tomorrow I thought I would inspire today with a blushy pink bedroom. And isn't it lovely? Happy Monday!

I love all the patterns, texture and art...definitely a space to linger in.
