Nineteen!

-

My one and only turns 19 today!
He's the same age my husband was when I met him! 



He's been away at college for almost 3 weeks now and will be coming home on Friday to celebrate his Birthday and attend the CAL vs UCLA game with some of his new fraternity brothers.

Chris...






 Happy Birthday 
We love you and are so proud of you!

It's so great that he is close enough to come home - yipee for all of you! I always think of my daughter's birthday as mine as well, I was there after all and I had quite a bit to do with it so Happy Birthday to both of you. Have a lovely weekend. What a very handsome young man you've got there.

you're such an awesome mom!! Have lots of fun with Chris home this weekend :) Not graduating from college too long ago (5 yrs) I can still remember how much fun it was to come home that first year. I'll never forget how comforting the smell of my house was, and how comfy it was to throw on a pair of sweats and hang with the fam!

Enjoy every minute! We just saw our son for the first time in 6 weeks!!! It was amazing how he had already changed and seemed so much like an adult instead of a student!

Oh so cute! Happy Birthday to your handsome son! I miss you too! I think about you all the time, how are you?
I keep thinking how wonderful it would be to just treasure hunt every day! You and Amy should meet up sometime! Oh hey my son about died when he saw your puffer fish and the turtle shells in the pics. He said, "Mom she is the coolest lady if she likes those things!" Ha, thought you'd like that!

I found my camera so I'm sharing lots of Halloween ideas!

I was going to
say handsome boy,
but guess he's really
a man : ) !!
I met my "man" when
he was 19, too...at
a frat party....Times
haven't changed too
much! I hope you and
your hubby split a
bottle of champagne and
toast to a job well-done...
and to a fine young man.

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of togetherness, great food & good times... and when it was all over I went to put a load of laundry on and accidentally ran my new iphone 4 through the wash!      In the meantime, while I wait for it to completely dry out, I thought I'd post some Christmas decorating ideas that I've saved over the years which have inspired me in decorating our home which I've been doing since Black Friday... and oh my, what a mess I'm in at the moment!! These images are from Christmas Ideas 2003.  This gorgeous spread has provided me with the main design theme in my Christmas decor. Hopefully I'll be back in business with my iphone/camera in a few days and will be able to show you how I've translated it into our Holiday Home!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
