yummy christmas tree

this was on the cover of martha in december 2009.  i think i need to throw a party just to use this as an edible centerpiece...

reasons for flowers

from real simple in May 2010.

just might be a reason to have flowers around all the time.

kitchen gadgets

too bad i don't drink.  what else could i do with this fun prop?

paint it fabulous

a linen wall?  herringbone chair?  gorgeous.
i'm a sucker for a good before and after.   what could be better than buy something ugly and painting it pretty?

browsing the martha may 2009 issue, you'll find it full of faux pattern ideas.

and just for a pretty p.s.
