Today's MY Day!

October is a big month in my family....Today is MY birthday, and I"m celebrating Tyler's first birthday with about 30 other people....and half of those are under 3 !! EEEkkkk   So glad their parents will be attending the party too!

Anyway, because it's my day, I'm just going to share some of my favorite things with you. 

I love painted furniture.  I love to paint it myself, and I appreciate the art of others....like this butterfly!

 I'm a big fan of the Impressionists...Monet' "Waterlilies" ......breathtaking!

 I love the idea of living in a barn....a beautiful, converted one, of course!

I love to make things, and I love having everything I need for a project when I get a wild hair to do something at 10pm.

Nest

Seems like I'm always working on these at that time.....but they're my fav thing to make in the fall.

I love dishes....all kinds....all colors....all styles.

Bold, big graphic prints always make me smile!  Probably a throwback from my mural-painting days.

 Chocolate in any form

Design that doesn't take itself so seriously!

  5. My birthday wish for you is that someday you will live in a converted barn and spend your days lounging on a teal blue velveteen sofa-surrounded by your adorable pets.

    Happy B-day!

  10. Happy Birthday Sally. In reading your "loves" I find we are very much alike...I have an 18mo old grandson and I also love dishes, graphic prints, velvet, crafts, designing nurseries...the living in a barn, not so much.

    You must sell those pumpkins on Etsy. You are very talented in many ways.
    Have a great day
