Keeping my EYE on.....
There are days, I wish I could re-design MY HOME. Move around furniture, or just sell what I have & start new! I think I feel like this just about every 3months. Is that so bad? It may have to do with the fact that I frequent so many blogs and that gets my creative juices flowing. My husband wonders why I like to change things up so much....I tell him. "Hey, at least it's just furniture & not you." Ha! He laughs.
But IT'S TRUE....If I had the time, I would shop every 3 - 4 months for my home! I love the feel of a NEW sofa, a new coffee table, new book, a lamp & so forth. How about you? Maybe in a dream world we would all be able to afford new furniture every time we wanted it & somehow magically get rid of the old stuff (if you couldn't sell it). Here are items I'm keeping my eye on, although I have already purchased 2 things from this list. Enjoy your weekend!

Spring Fever!
Spring is coming I can feel it! And thanks to a few of my favorite runway items... I can see it too!
I am so happy and lucky to have my two favorite Spring runway shoes (posts comingsoon!!) and one of my favorite Spring accessories. This pink collar by Miu Miu is so dang cute I just had to! I can't afford a whole top form Miu Miu so I figured if I at least got the collar it would bring some Miu Miu runway to every outfit!! Add a cotton candy lollipop and a matching pink hair clip in and I've officially got Spring fever!

Nom nom nom...
Inspiration to Create...
I swear, sometimes I come across photos of homes that put me in a design daze (I mean that in a GOOD WAY, of course) where all I can think of is how I can apply something just as beautiful to my own home. Ever felt that way?? I L-O-V-E that feeling! Perhaps it's just plain INSPIRATION, but it gives me motivation & desire to want to create! This is what I'm talking about below.

To all Readers.....
If anyone gets an email saying that you won a star from Made By Girl, DO NOT CLICK on the .exe or .zip link! Somehow one of my emails got hacked & sent out a virus. Please do not open. There's no contest & I did not send that email! Sorry about that. The same email was actually sent to me, that is how I found out. I've officially changed my email system over to another so this hopefully won't happen again.
Ebay win!
I'm so glad I just won "I Married Adventure, The lives & Adventures of Martin and Osa Johnson" (1st Edition 1940) on Ebay today! I won it for only $31!

Kate Long Stevenson, creating some Amazing ART....
Kate Long Stevenson is an abstract painter from South Carolina that I love. She does mostly abstract work, which is my favorite. I love how so many of her subjects blend in with the colors! I can envision Kate's paintings in an entryway/foyer or even in a dining room setting....plain white walls and her colorful piece accentuating the space! Please check out more of this talented artist here.
