So, I have thanked Whitehaven interiors and now onto the 3 other things, here are my 7 things you don't know about me.....
- That I would love to write a screenplay/or a book by the time I am 50
- That I have dreamt and daydreamed about buying a run down farm, fixing it up, starting a huge garden, building a beautiful little cottage and opening up my own wonderful farm to table restaurant with a little gourmet shop next door....oh to dream!
- When I go and visit the Christmas Village displays at various stores/nurseries I secretly have always wished I could jump in and become one of those "little people" skating on the pond, walking to the five and dime, running home at 5 sharp to sit down as a family, say grace and have a family dinner (translation- when all members of an immediate family sit together for at least 10 minutes to eat, converse and share their day with one another)
- I am a serial chocoholic and nothing is going to change that!( never met a truffle I didn't like)
- That I am possibly THE most claustrophobic person you will ever meet (looking at an elevator makes me tremble)
- That the way I put myself to sleep when I am having a hard time winding down, is by imagining I am stuck in the coziest ski cottage you can imagine in a blizzard high up on a mountain in Switzerland.
- That I really wish I had had another baby (or two) right now... I feel too young and too needy to have 3 grown boys!
Now onto my own list, drum roll please, here they are and why I like them:
I find this blog to be so adorably entertaining not to mention this woman could seriously give Martha Stewart a run for her money!
This is a great site also, I love the "new look" and it deserves some recognition and of course I am partial to the Hamptons!
This is one of the prettiest blogs I have seen to date and the pictures are just so beautiful, they literally have the power to take you away to somewhere wonderful
Because well..its just so pretty! I am a very visual person and this blog is just so very pretty and thought provoking as well.....
I just happen to love her taste and her eye, we seem to have very similar taste so its always a treat to visit her blog
This is a really fun site, almost every one of her posts has resonated with me so I am continually drawn back...a lot of fun!

I always like something on this blog...and we seem to have a similar eye. I like the way that whatever she talks she personalizes as it applies to her own life
I am a huge chinoiserie fan so how could I not love this site! Plus she has an excellent eye and her blog always promises some great eye candy
This is so wonderful....you feel like you were swept away to her blueberry farm when you go to her blog..visually and story wise, it is a treat for the senses
Because simply she has a wonderful style with a modern twist...love going to her blog
I know it was few more than 10, just had to list them all. Hope you will check them out...I promise you they are worth the trip....enjoy!
My life is like a stroll upon the beach,
As near the ocean's edge as I can go.
- Henry David Thoreau, The Fisher's Boy
Don't know if it's the doldrums of this long, endless winter where the snow is "the new grass" but its getting old. So I find myself thinking a lot about the beach and summer, the warm weather and all the fabulous things that go along with it. Long lazy days at the beach, bbq's, visiting friends at their beach houses, taking my dog to the beach, exotic cocktails, wearing flip flops, visiting open air vege and fruit markets, sitting outside at a clam bar, hearing the waves crash while reading a great book, swimming, tennis, I could go on and on.....but you certainly get the picture. One thing I hope to do in my lifetime is own a small beach house, doesn't have to be anything major, just a small but well done, comfortable quintessential beach house. So today I pay homage to the perfect little beach house......isn't it just peachy?
You know I love to know which is your favorite!
Can I serve you your pina colada now? Have a wonderful day and let me know if you had a favorite.....
