Madeline Weinrib.....amazing textile designer.
I'm a BIG fan of Madeline Weinrib's textile deigns. I've been on the hunt for cushions lately for my new sofa and for my white upholstered sofa in my main living room. Madeline's designs are brilliant & I hope to one day have a couple of her cushions in my own home. Unfortunately, I don't know of any shops here in Las Vegas that carries them. However, if you're looking to get a hold of some, take a peek at the locations section of her site for your town. Lovely!!

Eric Roth Interior Photography
I've seen Eric Roth's work in magazines as well as on the internet, but there's nothing like looking through his site to get a good feel of his work. He has a great eye for interior shots & i just can't get enough of all the ones below. Of course, I always share my faves with you.
An Introduction.....
Hi Girls..
Just popping in for a quick post today to spread some kindness.
I met a new blogger last week after she left me a very nice comment on one of my posts to introduce herself to me and to let me know how much she had enjoyed her visit to my blog, so I wanted to return her kindness by introducing her to all of you.
Her name in Cindy and she is from NSW Australia. Her blog is called "shabbynsweet" (what a cute name...) You can click on the link below to pay her a visit.

Cindy is just like me and loves all things shabby and of course pink by the looks of her blog. Please take a minute or two to stop by Cindy's blog to say hello and to welcome her to the wonderful world of blogland.
I'll leave you today with a few pictures of some of my pretties, both old and new. The picture above is of a small berry dish with some pretty roses and a pink McCoy planter that I've had for some time and the one below is of a sweet little creamer that I found in an antique shop just this past weekend. Another bargain item that cost me less than $5.00. Another pretty piece of rose patterned china to add to my constantly growing collection...
Maybe I should have waited and shared this piece with you on "Tea Things Tuesday", but if you're anything like I am, sometimes it's just too hard to wait. Besides, you all needed something pretty to look at today didn't you???

Going to the Cancer Center for my LAST Whole Brain Radiation

Hello everyone.
Today marks my 2 year survivor of
Breast Cancer. I was diagnosed with
Stage 4 Lobular and since
then I have slowly made progress .
I had a mastectomy on my right breast (and a tram flap reconstrustion) with removal of 39 lymph nodes on Dec. 12, 2007, chemo therapy starting 2/2008, following by radiation on
my right side and clavical. In the midst of this I developed Brain Mets and had Gamma Knife surgery in July of 2008. After the Gamma Knife surgery I developed more brain tumors
and had Whole Brain Radiation, 20 treatments. I've lost my hair twice .
I've been getting better and in October of 2009 I developed more brain tumors
and again had Gamma Knife Surgery to remove them. Each treatment was
successful. My body should be cancer free now..as all they saw was
the brain tumors..and those should be eradicated with the Gamma Knife I had
last week.
With God, there is ALWAYS hope.. My doctor says I'm a miracle. I say
" I am prove of God's miracle"
Thank to ALL of you who have prayed, cared, sent me love cards and gifts
and hope. I cherish each friend I've made. I hope sharing so openly
has helped some of you. I was the first in my family to have
cancer and didn't know any women who I could talk to who had
been through this. I do now and it is a blessing!!
In 2008 I lost my dad and my step mom within three months
and this year in June our sweet Collie Hannah passed away.
Yet in all this turmoil I continue to be blessed. I am stronger
in my faith, closer to my grown childen , my grandsons, my true friends and
my marriage is the best it's ever been. I consider cancer a
blessing. IT has made me a kinder and gentler Deena.
!!CELEBRATING LIFE!!
NEVER STOP FIGHTING
Fondly, Deena
