Hello Girls....

Happy Sunday to all of you. I hope you are all enjoying a nice and relaxing weekend.

My weekend has been good, but nothing too exciting going on. We've had loads of sunshine here in Minnesota this weekend with temps in the low 30's so it's really starting to feel more and more like Spring. Forecast for mid-week is temps around 40 degrees and that's gonna feel so nice. Might just have to open a window or two and let some fresh air into my house that has been closed up tight for the past six months.

After going to my nieces basketball game Saturday morning (her team actually won for just the 2nd time this season), I of course had to pay a visit to one of my favorite antique shops which I just can't seem to stay away from for more than a few weeks as they always seem to have something new and I don't want to miss something if I can help it.

Found this sweet little cream colored jar that has a puffy quilted design and some pearl beaded trim around the top. So cute and so cheap!!

The price on this one was just $3.95, about what I pay for one of my specialty coffee drinks at our local coffee shop.

I just love finding a good bargain, don't you?

The Ellie Bag by Rubie Green...

Have you seen the new Ellie Bag over at Rubie Green?? I received mine a few days ago in the mail & I love how pretty & girly it is! It's definitely bigger than I thought it was going to be (8.5" x 5", as you can see in the pics I took with my aviators). The particular fabric used, is from Rubie Green's popular East Village collection & one of my all time favorites! The bag is definitely very roomy...you can use it for makeup, sunglasses & more! Get your own Ellie Bag here.

Whatever you're doing...have a great weekend!

Interior Designer Julie Richard's Home Tour

I'm so excited to share Julie Richard's home with all of you. She is an Interior Designer based out of Salem, MA & was gracious enough to send some pics my way. I feel very drawn to her work, she's got such a great eye for design & color! She'll soon be launching her interior design site, Shelter and I'm very much anticipating it's arrival online!

Julie also teaches ID at two area colleges in Massachusetts. Lucky students! I took a few courses in Interior Design in the past & I can assure you my teacher didn't have a portfolio that looked anything like Julie's.... or I probably would have stuck to the program! You can also view her blog, which is filled with all kind of goodies!

Jewelry Boxes & Other Things......

OK, we're all girls right (unless your a male visitor to my blog....), and we all love our jewelry don't we?

I know for a fact that I do and I'm curious to know how you store and/or display your jewelry.

Most of my jewelry is stored in a jewelry box that sits on top of my dresser. My jewelry box looks a bit like an armoire and has three smaller drawers on the top portion next to a glass fronted door that opens to a space that has a revolving thing-a-ma-jig with hooks that I can hang necklaces on. The bottom portion of the jewelry box has two wider drawers.

I love how it came painted just the perfect shade of creamy white and it fits in so well with my Shabby Chic/Cottage style of decorating.

I have dreams of someday being able to have someone build me a custom made jewelry box as I would actually prefer one very similar to the one I have, but one that is much wider and maybe a bit shorter, but still retains look of a piece of furniture.

For the jewelry I wear almost everyday which I remove at night, I keep those in a pretty Royal Albert dish, that of course has some yummy roses on it.

Maybe someday, when my budget allows, I actually buy one of those larger jewelry armoires if I can find one that has just the look I am wanting. Of course, when I'd first get it, it would have lots of empty storage spaces, but I can guarantee that I would sure have fun doing some jewelry shopping to fill it up...

Hope you've all been having a great week where you are. Enjoy what's left of it and have a great weekend!!
