Poofing a Corner

Happy Monday! Today I want to show you a little poofing that I've been up to. The vignette below just came together by accident in the last few days and there's a story with it.


Awhile back The Nester did the post about looking around for bare spots that need to be beautified...stay with me here...I have thought about that post several times.


Then last week I was Christmas shopping at this adorable shop here in Edmond called Sterling's. I bought that clock that you see there on the wall for someone else. Yes it's true...I know you do it too. I decided it had to hang on that bare spot above my table. Perfect!


See the cute red reproduction bucket? I don't know what it's called but I saw it the same day and it was part of a set of 3. The set was $99.00 and I had no use for all of them. I kept thinking about the red one though...so I called the man and asked to buy just the red one. He said yes! $25.00. Woo hoo! I'm so proud because I never ask questions like that.

Right now there's a fabulous fake plant in the red bucket but I'm picturing geraniums or a fern when the weather is nicer.

I'm happy with this spot now and it's the perfect view when looking into the living room from the kitchen.

Thank you for coming by and leaving your sweet comments. :)

The Fall

This is for you Cinnamon!

Norah Jones is evolving as an artist and her new album reflects that. The Fall is different from her last album in that it's not as gentle. Though you can still definitely hear classic soothing Norah, overall it's a bit more "rock+roll". The lush fresh tone of her new music features more bold guitar and less piano, but still highlights the seductive charm of her velvety, smokey voice.

Legacy

Just enjoying "Legacy" by Nicole Nordeman.

Turn your speakers on. :)

Happy Sunday!

Happy Friday

This weekend I'll be catching up on some reading, working, studying, listening to the new Norah Jones and John Mayer albums, watching a few DVDs, and among other things, watching after this little guy...

Here my mom, who came over to my house for my birthday, holds Little Foot to prevent him from running and falling off the coffee table.

It's been about 2 weeks since he was diagnosed and treated for the Parvo virus, and thankfully he's back to running around all over the house, jumping with excitement for more food, licking the floor, and chewing on and getting into things and places he shouldn't be. Although he's a handful, we're so incredibly grateful for his restored health and energy. He continues to be absolutely adorable and lovable.

Have a great weekend everyone! Hope you get to do the things you want and spend it with the people and/or pets you love!

Foodie Friday

Hi girls! Today I'm joining Michael at Designs by Gollum. I haven't done this in awhile. :)

You know when you are just minding your own business shopping at Target or the grocery store...and that wonderful smell comes to you? The smell of roasted chicken. Yes, I knew you would understand. This supper was inspired by Target's Southwest Roasted Chicken. Easy breezy and so delicious. :)

Ingredients: Crispy tostada, shredded chicken, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and guacamole.

Happy Foodie Friday!

I'm loving the standout little black dress, glamorous red lipstick, and alluring red heels. {Minus the big frizzy hair}, it could make for a pretty fantastic look for a holiday party.
