hi george.

what's in store

appreciation

there is a cat sanctuary located in our closet, where paris, the oracle cat, goes to ponder life's great questions.

last night i made a tiny pillow for her, and low and behold she actually used it

sassification

one of the most life changing things i have at the store is the python tray. for crying out loud they are fabulous. and affordable. i couldn't believe it when i found out the price. i was like, for real? shouldn't i pay you more for these...  but alas, they're only $45.

betsy has one.

and debs.


and my friend andrea has one on her bar

bookcase of the day

i just sliced open my finger w/ a razor blade. this is the extent of my typing today.

classy

this and this.

this

makes me want to take this

down and put it in my house at my dressing table, that does not exist.  yet.

more

we acquired a huge stuffed peacock, in full plume.

he's lording over the pillows.  he looks sort of drunk.

rowdy is very unsure about the whole thing.  he won't get on his bed, but will lie on the floor just near enough to keep an eye on the peacock.

i made some art for the monster nightstands.  brian says it's very modern.  he's mine ladies - my discerning husband.

a few things

i went to see thom filicia's new line of furniture for vanguard.  he's an indiscriminate cheek kisser.  weirds me out.

brian switched faces with a panther.


driving with this as my passenger makes me happy.


and stickers affixed to car do the same.


i wish my dress was a fabric i could buy yards and yards of.


guess who got their first shipment of custom furniture?

this girl.

this makes my heart flutter.

happy valentine's day

my valentine's day display

i feel compelled to make a point

i haven't made a strong point in a good while.

these tables are from oomph. and yes, they are cute as all get out.

and here are the dimensions, and pricing, respectively:
40", 19", 33"H $1330
8.5", 18" 20"H $360
8", 18", 20"H $420
16", 16", 20"H $460

they are wood, and lacquered in sherwin williams paint.

and here's a shot of the scale you can put it all in perspective. that pillow is about to eat the $460 table.

this is not an acceptable price. this is downright unreasonable. i saw them in person at the gift show and i had a oomph of my own due to sticker shock. i cannot abide by this. i'm going to sell you cuteasallgetup lacquered tables for $75 and sleep well at night.

spotted

reading lonny now...
interrupted to report to you that i've spotted my tiny martha casserole dishes! good reminder for me to use them.

a story and an example

brian meares works for a marketing firm. a few weeks ago they had a young woman in for an interview, and during the course of it, she bragged about her workout regimen and the size of her 'guns'. towards the end of the interview, she decided to flex her 'guns', for the owner of the company, and said, "BAM BAM HOLLA".
she did not get hired.

i got a new settee in today. bam bam holla?

if...

you're in the market for the world's largest chiang mai ottoman.
