cute baby gym...

just got one of these for baby girl....

can't wait for her to use it.

i just love wooden toys!

shelves...

i love to see how other people set up the shelves in their homes.
it is not my strong point, so i love to see what people can come up with so i can draw inspiration from them.

i'm always drawn to anything sharilyn does over at lovely design.
here are a few shelves from her home.

and, have you check out her studio? i'm obsessed... and don't get me started on her paint color choices. i'm always drawn to blues..

see more details here.

what a great entrance...

loving this...

talk about a great entrance to your next party.

hello!

sorry for being MIA the last little bit, but i've been working on a few projects and relaxing before baby girl arrives [only two weeks left... or less!]

but, if you are local, or not, you might want to check out my latest post over on the cafe zupas blog on some local strawberry picking!

there's nothing like picking your own produce and eating fresh sweet strawberries right off the vine! there isn't much time left in the u-pick strawberry season, so head over here to check out the details before all the strawberries are gone..

i'm a big salad eater. especially in the summer, i eat salads for lunch and dinner.

my current favorite salad is something with mixed greens, a cheese, a fruit, and a nut..
