Blue and White Monday

I so hope you had a lovely Mother's Day.  Because I spent the weekend enjoying family, I am unprepared to share much in the blue and white way today.  While I have only one image, it's a great one!  

Have you entered my giveaway?  If not, here's the post.  I'd love for you to enter.  Happy Monday!

Happy Mother's Day!

Giveaway and Sale at TPP

I'm celebrating the launch of my new website and my blog redesign with a giveaway and a sale.  Shari, at Little Blue Deer has been a busy lady. And very, very patient.  With me.  She is such a delight to work with, and I'm thrilled with my new site.  I'd love for you to click on "HOME" above and see the site along with the new slideshow I'm so excited about.  I am so very hugely appreciative of what Shari's done here.  She's just amazing.

Here's the jar on my table at home.

This is a wall in my breakfast room, and these are some of the many prints available in my Etsy store.  All prints are 20% off with a minimum purchase of 35.00 with the code NEWSITESALE through Friday, May 17th.  The sale does not include custom orders or requests.

Back to the giveaway.  It's for one 4 inch ginger jar, one cell phone case, and one package of eight notecards.  The below list represents all the ways to enter.  Each one is one entry, but you have to comment for each.  I will copy and paste the comments to draw for the winner, so if you leave one comment telling me you follow on all that will be just one entry.  Use the pink rectangle buttons on the top right sidebar.

Have a great weekend!

I Want a Do-Over

We have a Colonial Revival house that would never work with the style of these rooms.  And I'm happy with that.  I love my house and wouldn't change what I've done.  It's just right for me now.  But, when I see these images on Pinterest, I want a do-over on one of the apartments I lived in or our first house.  If I knew then what I know now, I'd do something similar to these fun, eclectic rooms by Emily Henderson.  The mid-century, casual, colorful vibe is something I would have loved.

That I'm redecorating old apartments in my head is probably pretty strange.  What about you?  Have you ever wanted a design do-over on somewhere you don't live anymore?  What would be your direction?

It's a gorgeous day here in Dallas.  I have quite a "to do" list, plus I'm helping with my niece's birthday party tonight.  However, I'm determined to spend a little while outdoors doing absolutely nothing.  I hope that whatever you have going on, it's pretty where you are, and you can take a minute to enjoy.  Happy Weekend!
