I am moving to Monaco
Club Monaco that is! I could move right in. AND they were playing my new favorite song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3b9E1p9uOA After a long day of working- it was nice to see such a pretty store. You know I am a sucker for black and white anything! I have my eye on that large scale gingham shirt when […]
What happens when you mix tea and henna?
A strange new cocktail? No? A big mess? Well- yes- but… A whole lot of fun! Pacific Heights client- Had the drive way re-done a few months back and the problem was that it just looked “too new” with that grey-blue like hue. So the morning was spent brewing large stock pots of black tea […]
On the road again…
Do you remember all of the fun road trips that you took as a child? Everyone piled in the back of the station wagon (yes- we really did have a station wagon and it was one of those wood paneled ones too- no joke- I liked to call it the Brady-mobile). Since I grew up […]
Flea marketing…

More wine glasses!
I think that I am addicted to wine glasses. Since the glasses that I hand carried back from Venice were not enough- I was in Carmel last week and found a lovely set of GREEK KEY wine glasses- they are old- heavy and delightful! 7- an odd number- but they 7 happens to be my […]
Dog crate for sale
So some of you know I am moving some things around in my life (more on all of those details soon) and I am in this “summer cleaning and selling mode”. So I have been snapping photos of things around my house and office and listing the items on craigslist. It is really so simple- […]
Drapes-couches and coffee tables- oh my!
Why does it bother me so much when people use these words? Off with your heads I say! Why can’t we call them CURTAINS- SOFAS and COCKTAIL TABLES (such NICE words!) Drapes just sound old lady like and couches sound frumpy and not comfortable and coffee tables just a place to put an ugly chipped […]
