St. Germain–the star of the party

What’s more satisfying than basking in the after glow of a successful dinner party? And this one literally was glowing. 50+ candles were strategically placed (Glassybaby’s & pretty much anything I could get my hands on w/a wick) and designed to counteract the “January dreary”. I teamed the glow with a bright yellow and blue table scape. How cool are these over-sized glass vessels that I picked up on total clearance at Target for a kid-you-not price of, $3.79/each? I’m sensing a “white party” coming on next… (still have a few holiday pieces up on the mantel as I still…

Is The Glass Half Full or Half Empty?

Why it’s half full of course! But the real question is, with what? After hosting a friend’s baby shower recently, I finally couldn’t resist the temptation to invest in three different size and shapes of apothecary jars. To honor the baby boy, I assembled an assorted mixture of blue candies and chocolate for a candy buffet per the color palette of the par-tay. Now that most of the goodies have been gobbled, I can hardly wait to make a decorative statement with them in other interior decor capacities. These following images really get my creative gears going. Like this sweet…

Living Well 7 Turns One!

That’s right, a year ago today I started this puppy! My husband sort of challenged me with a collection of some different journals and magazines to use as inspiration around Christmas last year. I composed 7 posts on my various “passions” collected in this blog, and then began sharing with the world. I hoped to write 100 posts in all within the first year, and almost got there. (The goal was a little random anyway). I’m currently reading a book called, God Never Blinks by Regina Brett (who hails from one of my old stomping grounds). This book is about…

It’s a NEW YEAR!

I have to be honest, I’m kind of OVER the holidays now, aren’t you? I sort of wish I could twinkle my nose and all the decorations and hoopla would magically be gone. Don’t get me wrong, We had a great NYE and New Year’s Day… but I’m almost too exhausted to recap it. I’m all about the start of a fresh New Year. It’s time to look forward now. With, that spirit in mind, let’s play a game! A dear friend (Thanks K.R.) recently sent me a email with this challenge, passed along by one of her friends: “Pick…
