I have been feeling this urge to just clear the decks – pile up all my decorative objets, take inventory and then redecorate. With what I have.
For anyone that lives in Northern California (and who knows, maybe other parts of the world as well) is going to totally understand what I'm about to describe. January is a really sneaky month around here. It never fails we have a week of just fabulous weather. You walk outside and the air is starting to feel warm, it's sunny and everything is so green. So you think Spring is making her first furtive gestures. You break out your sandals, start stalking the local nurseries for impatiens.
Then February and March show up, all dour and cranky and rain on your parade. Well right now we are in that wonder week of January. It's so hard to even fathom the bitter cold my North-Eastern friends are feeling. I'm really sorry! Come visit me and we can BBQ out on the back deck.
More Kelly generosity here – the turquoise tole tray, the pretty pink sugar bowl, sans lid – makes a perfect container for mismatched silver spoons, also courtesy of Kelly.
Rick has been working on a project that I can't wait to show you (sorry for the pressure, sweetie). He's making a bead board headboard for the the guest room bed. It is turning out quite nice. I'm hoping our sneaky January weather holds out so he can paint it this weekend.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and that the weather is cooperating for you – if not – come see me!



I’m enjoying this California weather and know that the cold and rain will be here soon…well I hope we need it. I’ve been driving around all week with the top down on my car…I feel a little guilty.
Lucky you, I’m freezing here in Michigan! More beautiful things from your friend! The pink sugar bowl and silver are beautiful:>)
Andrea, what a great sugar bowl! I have quite a bit of pink in my kitchen, so it is covetous.
