Wishful Wednesday

I wish I had a sewing machine so I could make drapes for my dining room.  I took a sewing class in college ...is it like riding a bike??  Any of these fabrics would add a much needed pizazz to the room.  (if you have an unused and unloved sewing machine, please send it my way :)

I wish Judson hadn't kept me out past my bedtime last night.  Although I dominated in darts (three times in a row!!)

Speaking of my dining room, have I mentioned that I'm in dire need of a china cabinet, sideboard, buffet, ANYTHING to hold all of my new dishes, glasses, silver, etc.  Which style to chose???

Wishing for these looks for the weekend...

Happy Hump Day!!

Tuesday Trend

Antlers I have had a small fixation with antlers lately.  I see them everywhere I look, and I like what I'm seeing.

Sunday Dinner

I decided to peruse the blogs to find something tasty to make for my rockstar-real-estate-agent hubby.  (He has been working so hard, and I'm so very proud of him.  He deserves to come home to a big ole yummy home cooked meal every once in a while.)  It's been a looong (very fun) weekend, and I wanted something hearty and healthy, so I decided on Chicken Delight and Spinach Salad.  Protein.  Check.  Veggies.  Leafy greens.  Check and check. Bacon?  Yes, please.  I kinda threw out the healthy with this salad, but it's still a salad so that counts as nutritional right??  I found the Chicken Delight recipe on my dear friend Laura Merrill's blog, Decorating the Elevator, and followed it to one of my new fav blogs, Fly Through Our Window.  The salad is from the always reliable Pioneer Woman.  Bon Appetit!!

Friday Faves

All About...

Coral

I love the color and the marine organism. Love it in home & in fashion.

Wishful Wednesday

I need one of these snazzy lucite trays to hold various items.

I am also longing for SOMETHING to go above our headboard.

Maybe a sunburst mirror?

a la...

It's time to refresh the makeup bag and here a few items I'm craving...

I first saw this delightful fish vase on Blue Hydrangea, 

and for some reason, I need it.  Lo and behold, I found this on Etsy.

To buy or not to buy???
