CC update:

August 25, 2010

Sorry for the absence!

I’ve been absorbed in my book and haven’t had time to blog!

Also, my camera cord is missing. Eeeek.

Until it is found, CC pics will have to wait.

Here’s a pretty painting I found for you to enjoy in the meantime…

We’re having a spectacular time, despite all the rain! I’ve been busy catching up on my summer reading and have been eating delicious homemade food and enjoying great company.

Favorite Blog: How About Orange

http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/

This blog is certainly a favorite of mine and is one of my go-to reads. It always has wonderful ideas and DIY crafts. Plus they always have free printables and downloads! The designer is Jessica Jones and we most definitely must be kindered spirits– her favorite color is ORANGE too!!!

One of her most recent posts is AMAZING.

Free canister decals by Cathe Holden that will make your heart flutter!

ENJOY!

I am OBSESSED with this fabric by designer Seema Krish. Seema (located in Boston!) brings her Indian heritage to her gorgeous textile fabrics. All fabrics are handmade and can be custom made to order. One day, when I have copious amounts of money (HA ha.) I will line my couches with these pillows and cover my beds with these throws.
