Puppy Love

What's in a face?, isn't he so cute, now if I could rewind to around 6:00pm yesterday,I would not have told the girls we could go and look at the pet store near where we had dinner, it usually is a harmless event , but how was I to know the perfect pup was waiting there, see we have talked a lot about getting a second dog,another boston terrier,Dolce is such a wonderful pet, loves us all so much loves to cuddle is gentle with the kids , mostly he sleeps all day , so this breed is a good match for our family.
The problem is that we are leaving for our trip on Tuesday night , what to do, ok , if he is still there on Tuesday they will hold him for us until our return but that it and its a gamble, the timing with exception of the trip is quite good, to train a pup in the summer is much more favourable than in November which is when we got Dolce, that was not fun, but it went a smooth as you could hope for.
What am I to do??This is such a tough decision!

Stripes ,stripes and more stripes........

Would you believe I found this chair at the curb side for garbage, ok it was brown with filthy cream cushion, but it has been toile and now seersucker striped .

This is not from my home but a beautiful shot.
The twim bed room isn't from my home either.

First let me say , I love stripes, I love wide stripes and and random stripes but not pin stripes,I like multi-coloured stripes,I have 8 or 9 different striped fabrics in my home, I especially love seersucker stripes that is my absolute fave, thick crisp seersucker, I have a striped vase,spools of ribbons, picture frames,a striped hammock, striped chairs and roman blinds and drapes & toy box as well as walls in 2 bedrooms and one bathroom horizontal of course, I would have more if is wasn't just weird to do so.

Now the most delightful find on a recent grocery trip was the striped roses I found.Joy

The Vintage Pearl

While blog surfing yesterday I found this wonderful artist, Erin ,her brand and blog is charmingly called The Vintage Pearl I was instantly drawn to her work , it appeals to me on such a high level of delight , now where do I start ?how do I decide what to buy? You can find her work on etsy.com a phenomenal source for one of a kind items of all mediums. Get a cup of coffee or tea and carve out some time to take a look at etsy, it might take a while but is well worth your time. Check out her blog for more info on purchasing and where that can be done, as well its just a lovely blog about life and family, another favourite for me.

This kind of creative work from a busy mom of three in Oklahoma, the access we all have is now limitless to wonderful people and their talents , I must say I hope you enjoy this wonderful artist like I do.

Cheers!
