Sunday, July 15th, 2012Dear Louis Vuitton
Dear Louis Vuitton, I’ve never been a big fan of your monogrammed bags. I know everyone loves them, but I just don’t get why anyone would want to carry around a bag with someone else’s initials. But then I saw your new Dotty shoes and my heart skipped a beat. Oh they are so so […]

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012Mirrors of Life
We went antiquing (yes it’s a word) in Nyack. Lee picked out this mirror and although it needs some work, I think it is gorgeous and I can’t wait to hang it. We also picked up some iron hooks for a project we are working on together. *For my memory: When Lee found the mirror, he […]
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012Two Books
The summer is all about reading. On the last day of school, I went home and found a friend left me this book: And I was so touched for many reasons. The book is out of print, but a friend hunted me down a copy. It was originally published in the 1960’s and I never […]
