Beautiful things...

There are beautiful things in every corner we look. For example, last weekend when I was visiting the Roswell square I ventured into one of my fave shops, Home Grown Living. There is a young designer there called Liza that really has an eye for all things timeless, classic, fresh and with a European flair. While visiting her shop I found this wonderful rack that can be used in just about any space. I can't wait until our renovation is complete and I can explore her shop treasures with more intention....

 

This is a rack that I fell in love with at Home Grown Living. Also, check out the sink in the background! Beautiful!

I also stumbled upon the Roswell Antique Market on Roswell Road. This place is a treasure trove! These are some of the fun things a came across...you will see a trend in baker racks!


Below is a great little nook where I found a lovely rustic chest with lovely hydrangeas in a traditional outdoor pot. This kiosk just warmed my heart, made me linger a while. I wish I would have taken some more pictures to share with you all. Next time!

Having "staff".

For those of you that know my husband, you know what I mean when I say "Chrisisms" are CLASSIC!

For example, as I was sharing some details regarding our renovation project with him today he all of a sudden stops looking at me and stares off at the departing electricians through our blinds as they leave our house and then he proceeds to interrupt me mid-sentence to say the following:

"I really like having a good staff".

Here I am thinking; "What staff? Does he have staff at work? Huh??? Apparently he meant he liked having the contractors, cleaners, electricians, cabinet guy ect. "working for us"...
I just about fell off my chair laughing out loud. "It feels good to have staff" apparently.

Hysterical!

Nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards | Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences

Nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences

It is here! The nominations are here!! The best movies of the year (well most of them anyway). I can't wait for movie date with friends, husband, strangers whatever. I like movies a lot.. even though most of the Oscar nods tend to go the way of depressing flicks. This year there are undertones of virtual realities and biutiful dramas and lets not forget KINGS who give such fabulous speeches that they too are nominated! I love it.

If you are interested in joining me in this theatrical adventure let me know.
