. hello & a week of pretty .

... a week of gold leafing, and gleaming white paint, and the search for

perfect lamp shades, and yards and yards of fabric being hung ---

a moment of realization that it resembles the most luxurious rough-hewn linen.

with all of that said, still many last minute things to tweak and perfect.

unable to stay away for another second, we will be 

having a week of "just pretty" while finish off the new office 

with a giant bow...

hope your week is off to a fabulous start!

always a bit busy on fridays... usually many things

to wrap up with a pretty bow before the weekend arrives.

... but today it's playing hooky and off to visit peter cottontail.

. shoe lust * louboutin "corpus 120MM" .

... it is far to frugal to say that these are beautiful,

so far beyond that... i am unsure words can touch just 

how lovely they actually are in person...sigh.

. fashion lust * wings for a goddess .

as messenger to the gods, Hermes wore sandals

with wings upon his feet...

sometimes, just sometimes we come across

something so entirely unique and beautiful that

it speaks directly to our soul. i do believe that these

"shield" loafer pumps are fabulous enough for a modern day

seems as though indian summer is holding on this year.

making dressing quite difficult, as the mornings are cool but

fade into scorching hot afternoons.

. picture rail .

whether it be fine art, finger paintings, or family photos,

pictures and art are a glimpse into our souls, a look at

what we really love... how better to showcase than a picture rail? 

in it's glory days, used to protect plaster from

adding hole after hole to walls that had a tendency to crack.

quite a lovely feature, yes?

happy day...
