A Beautiful Way to Share Your World

A CONSTANT HUNT FOR THE PERFECT INSTA MOMENT CAUSES A NEW SENSE OF REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE

I've been thinking that it's time to embrace Instagram in addition to blogging.

My first love will always be my blog but even before I lost the photos from my posts over the last several years I had begun to blog less frequently.

It takes a bit of time to craft a pleasing and informative post especially for a perfectionist Virgo like myself and I can't help but notice that many other bloggers have begun to post less often as well.



 It seems like good timing to channel my creative energy via a different medium and Instagram seems to fit the bill nicely.

What I like about it most is its immediacy in that it allows me to capture something and share it in real time which is exciting to me.

(I just Instagrammed this little vignette I scored this week)

It meshes perfectly with my passion for the thrill of the hunt allowing me to share and sell things as I find them!

Yes, it's time to shake things up a bit!

I hope you'll follow along with me on Instagram.

The Best is Yet to Come! 

I won't be abandoning my blog by any means, as I know that some people would rather read blogs than follow along on Instagram.

I'm not on Instagram, but I will be following along here when ever you post. Like you, I don't post as often as I used to. Life gets in the way which is a good thing. ;-)

Welcome to Instagram!! I have been spending way too much time there lately... and I'm so excited to now follow you as well! BTW, I have a near identical set of those fabulous pink cockatoos... they are in our banana leaf dining room! :)

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...
