My own bed has had no headboard or footboard for nearly 2 years. I guess you could say, it’s been naked. Or…really, I’ve just been poor and living in a very “bohemian” way.
I am now shopping for my DREAM BED.
These have all sparked my lust and soon I hope to own one of these beauties…. =)
In case you’re wondering…this is where the inspiration REALLY came from:
I am a huge fan of Tiki-themed art & decor. One day I hope to have a home decorated entirely in that vein.
I came across this website of artwork by Mark Swanson – wow, these are stunning! I want ’em all!
I’ve been in the “working world” for about 13 years. I finished school early and went right into working FULL-TIME, at age 16. For the last 10, I’ve worked in the corporate world.
But, now all of that has changed. Thanks to my recent lay-off (yes, I said “thanks” because they really did do me a favor); I can now stay home with my daughter, use my time to explore other options and also, relax. A lot. I am very, very grateful.
Today has been a great Monday. Waking up on your own, and not to a blaring alarm, is priceless. Getting to spend an hour or two in your cozy jammies and drink coffee while watching cartoons while everyone else is at their desk? Even better. All whilst hugging my little 2 year old munchkin over and over and knowing, I don’t have to leave her for 9 hours a day.
This afternoon, I enjoyed a delicious chicken panini and watched a Rita Hayworth flick on Turner Classic Movies I’d never seen before, “Miss Sadie Thompson (1953).” What a heavenly way to spend a crisp, fall day inside!
I used some of my “blow money” (this is a Dave Ramsey reference, not a drug one!) – and found this darling little dress by Express. I think it’s so very vintage and sweet. I can’t wait to wear it! ♥
Sadly, I have no dates lined up as of yet…..but, a girl can hope!
Her name was Dorothy but she sometimes went by “Dottie.”
She wrote poetry. She loved film, music and literature.
She adored traveling the World. And, loved Siamese cats. Judy Garland was one of her favorite entertainers.
In her later years, she raised a family. My mom, my uncle and my aunt. She was a homemaker and a devoted wife and mother. She later went back to school to become an RN. Then, travel. Lots and lots of travel! My grandparents went everywhere. Japan, Germany, Holland, England, Switzerland. Because of this, they opened up their home to foreign exchange students to stay with them. Some of my best memories of childhood are of the wonderful people I met.
