Ok the gift swap is on! We have about 5 people interested so far so we will do a circular swap of sorts (does that make sense?). I will be emailing everyone who commented tonight to ask for your addresses then after everyone responds I will send an email with who you will send your gift too and their website or blog if available to help you get to know them. The person who is sending you a gift will be a surprise, ooh la la!!!

It's not too late to join in! Leave a comment if you'd like to participate!

It Snowed Today!

Unfortunately I only got to enjoy it from the window of my office building. Hopefully next time I will get to have a good play with the dogs in some snow. Lovely!

Sale! Sale! Sale!

One of my favorite websites is having a sale to kick off the holiday season! Go Shop!

Project Plant Stand

One of my purchases from the Round Top antique fair was this metal shelf for $15. It has a nice oriental feel to it and I thought all the different levels would make it perfect for my potted plants. It was a brassy gold color with minor rust areas but I knew it could be really cute. Last weekend it was finally warm and sunny enough to repaint!

Before:

After!

I'm not really sure what's up with the plant in upper right, it looks sad and I haven't been able to get it to perk up...

This was my first redo-type project so now I'm really looking forward to more! I will have my eye out for some things that need a little TLC next month at Canton Flea Market.

Flash Mob

Have you heard of a Flash Mob Dance before? It's quite possibly the most exciting thing since sliced bread. Apparently it's happening all over the country now and I may have the chance to be in one! My dance group has one tentatively scheduled and I can't wait to see what the director has up her sleeve!

Just click to watch a larger video on YouTube.

Are you a Gypsetter?

Have you heard of this new thing called a gypsetter? It's a gypsy+jetsetter= gypset. Inspired by a new movement of bohemian chic gypsies with nothing but time to kill and money to blow. Yeah I hate them whatevs. There's even a book about living a life described as "experimental luxury". Anyhoos, the fashion this trend is spawning is to die for!

Designers such as Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, and Joseph Altuzarra have lines inspired by this lifestyle.

Missoni has also credited gypset as the main inspiration behind their spring 2010 collection.
