snow time

 Hello to a fresh blanket of snow and time to make snow balls and get out and enjoy the snow.  As much as I am not a fan of braving the roads, I am a huge proponent of embracing the seasons.

At long last, I have chosen this light fixture for over my kitchen island.  It reminded me of a snow ball inside of an icy ball.  I just cannot seem to get enough white and clean, clear icy glass.  Snowing and I am heading out to ski!

hurricane Irene power

We are riding out the storm with power.

My heart goes out to many who are without power.

Loving these stylish hurricane lights.

Found these hurricanes via Martha Stewart.

A classic vintage hurrican lantern is timeless.

A collection of driftwood to make one's very own hurricane lights.

Love these modern hurricanes.

Hope each of you are riding out the storm in style and with power.

chick lit

Each week, I make my trek to the local library and nearby "Second Hand" shop to see what might peak my inner chic. I found these wonderful lamps that I immediately thought of her.
So, I rang her and told her that I thought of her and she said, oh, yes, send them my way.

I can only imagine the chic shade that will be added to top off these little gems. The base would be lovely painted a high gloss blue or orange. They would be sweet on a book shelf or a slim entry table. Albert Hadley thinks that overhead lighting is a "tragedy." I would have to agree that small lamps are so chic.

I brought them home, cleaned them up and the will soon be here.
