Many of you asked to see pictures of the tables for the Breakfast at Tiffany's brunch Im hosting for my sister. The shower is not until Saturday-but with 3 little ones you have to plan ahead. So I have 2 of the six tables set with out plates. Here are some sneak peak pictures-Im picking up the plates tomorrow that I am borrowing from a dear friend (thanks Janice)!

Fresh & Clutter Free

Ahhh if only that were true of my house. I always want a fresh start in January-organized closets, cleaned out cubbards, fresh new towels, etc.... it never happens but I do still try every year to clean out parts of my home. *sigh* its a never ending project Im sure most of you can relate- especially if you have small midgets underfoot who "undo" everything you "do". Anyway- I posted a few pics of my winter-clean decor. Its not Pottery Barn but it will do. (anyone else every dream of going into Pottery Barn and buying whatever your heart desires?)
Also if any of you super-organized, clutter-free pepole out there have any great ideas for my "just shoot me now" pantry let me know.

The After Christmas Blahs....

Anybody else get the After Christmas blahs? You know that let down feeling? All the holiday hoop-la is over? the long dreaded winter? Well that is where I am at- as I sit here and sniff may way though this. See not only do I have the blahs - I have the lovely after Christmas cold *sigh* (which may add to my blah-ness) Anyway- just so you know I wont park here. I go though this every year and my anti-dote? Tea-lots of it- and magazines- the January issues are always packed with great decorating and organizing ideas. I love getting into the de-cluttering zone. Its that whole out with the old- in with the new. So for your enjoyment I posted some inspiring pics to get you and me out of the blahs and into the ahhhhs!
