hurricane project

After a very long search for the perfect curio cabinet I found one on Craigslist. It is converted gun case so it isn't too decorative or fancy which is perfect! It is also the exact width for the space we had set aside for it which is amazing! So anyway with a huge storm just about to hit our city I decided to drive out, 45 minutes away to pick up our new addition. I made it back just before the winds and rain started and now I am planning on dressing it up a little bit and then filling it with as many of Richard's collections I can. One of the last remaining parts of our renovation and move in was figuring out what to do with his toy collection. I am so relieved and excited to start this project and I couldn't have a better day to do it. I am about to make some hot chocolate and start unpacking boxes. I will post and after shot once I get it all finished. Happy Saturday!

We just came back from our trip to Fresno. We didn't have enough time to treasure hunt but we did manage to bring back a lot of amazing oranges and kumquats from my parents tree. I think we are going to use them in a champagne punch for the oscar party we are attending this weekend.

Anyway...it is raining and awful here today but this amazing group of oranges makes spring and sun seem close...

Happy Thursday!

Valentines Day was very mellow and happy in these parts. Pizza and a movie. Bliss. I hope yours was happy too!

Sunday in the city was so gorgeous! We headed over to the flea market and found a few items. nothing major but as always it was just fun to look around and hunt for gems.

We came back home in the afternoon and I worked on cleaning our back porch. I transplanted a a couple of plants into pots that I found at the flea market and just tried to enjoy the sun before it went down.

I am including a photograph of our Elkhorn Fern that my friend Charlie gave to us as a house warming present. It really loves its home on the porch and it just looked so happy today I thought I should include it.


That's it for now. Have a fabulous Monday!
