Heavenly Rugs from Amy Butler

OH MY HEAVENS! As soon as I saw the email from Amy with these images of her new rugs I fainted! Then I came to and wrote her and told her I fainted! LOL! I LOVE RUGS! And these are the rugs of my dreams. They are straight from heaven if you ask me. I want them so much I can hardly stand it! I’m ready to redecorate starting with these fabulous rugs! This is my Christmas List, just rugs, that’s all I need!

Enjoy the eye candy – it’s delicious! Click on the big images to see Amy’s slide show of all the gorgeousness!

New Favorite Blog Featuring European Country and Classic Design

Well now, it has been a while since I’ve posted here. What a crazy, busy summer it has been here at my house. Juggling 2 businesses, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 2 geckos, 1 fish and 1 husband is proving to be complete insanity! But what can I say… I love my level of insanity. So…do I have any followers still following? I hope so because I want to share about a great new (to me) blog that has amazing home decor eye candy – ts crownCheck out Willow Decor at http://willowdecor.blogspot.com/ 

Oh so many pages of beauty! Check them all out… Especially the Tara Shaw section!  I could spend hours (ok, I HAVE spent hours) browsing all the gorgeous home interiors and exteriors and have found so much inspiration.

I hope you will enjoy it too! I have not “met” the owner of the site yet. But I didn’t want to forget to post so I thought I should while thinking about it! You know that ADHD thing!

Looking at these fine homes makes me want to get rid of 90% of my things and start over with only the most meaningful and beautiful items and build a serene and inviting home. I’ll keep working on that and these sites provide just the right inspiration! ENJOY!

Miranda – New Hobo Bag design!

 

Ah! This design came out just like I pictured it in my mind!

Gotta love when that happens! I’m so happy with my new Miranda bag design.  This one has complementary colors of peachy-pink on one side and french blue on the other with matching bouquets of cabbage roses, rose buds and lush foliage which

combine to create a grand garden on my modern version of the classic Hobo bag.

Not only is it gorgeous on the outside, it’s lined with a beautiful tone-on-tone rose printed linen and tricked out inside with pockets galore! Two pleated cell phone/camera pockets, lots of little channel pockets for your pens, lip gloss, or glasses, plus a large slip pocket on the other side. All pockets are lined of course… nothing is ever flimsy about my bags! Miranda sports a 14” drop padded shoulder strap and a tabbed magnetic closure.  Softly rounded corners, 13” tall and 15” wide. Perfect for your spring and summer outdoor activities!  I’m showing this one adorned with a beautiful peach painted silk flower pin to show how you can dress up your hobo. (not included, but available at additional cost).

Please join us for Pink Friday, May 8th, for our themed sale “Beautiful Blues” and don’t forget to visit the other participating shops at MakeMinePink.com for more Pink Friday specials.
