Please Be Seated


Check out this darling little ol' settee I spotted at the consignment store yesterday...perfect wool velvet upholstery and sits on 4 tiny little casters. It was so cute (and well priced) I just had to bring it home with me. Of course, I really don't have anywhere to put it, but that's ok because I truly envision it at one of my friend's - I have to remember the joy of sharing!!!

Vintage Valentines





Funny Vintage valentines ..... have you selected one for your valentine?

Valentines Day, the day we exchange tokens of our affection for friends and loved ones. Sometimes sweet, sometimes silly, often delicious! I saw a piece on the news today about a tradition on February 14 in Japan where women are obligated to give chocolates to the men in their lives on Valentine's Day - dads, brothers, male bosses, colleagues and friends. Some of the girls said they spend upwards of $250 and would rather spend the money on chocolate for their girlfriends! Others, though, don't mind as another holiday follows 30 days later on March 14 where men are obligated to buy chocolates for the ladies (and they get way more than they gave out!). Happy Valentine's Day to all!!
