This morning as I was looking over the new Restoration Hardware Catalouge, I saw so many things that I had in one form or another. Things that, when we first knew we were moving out of state, I decided to sell. Now, sitting there, pouring over these beautiful artifacts, I was having seller's remorse. Here's the catch; they aren't sold yet. I mean, the buyer hasen't paid yet and he is very gracious. He'll understand if I sort squint and say in a higher than usual voice tone, "I had second thoughts about this...."(or that).
I love being surrounded by beauty. Not a whole lot makes me happier than sitting in my own space and knowing that everywhere my eye might land, there is something there that I love. It's like seeing it for the first time really.
So, I've decided to show you some of my most favorite things.
I love that you're doing this! The way you described everybody is absolutely PERFECT! You have a real gift for beautifying everything around you, so thanks for sharing it. By the way, something kind of cool happened to me a couple Saturdays ago in Fresno. It involves a 4-leaf clover :)
