thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes. it's a little obnoxious to post your own birthday, but honestly, i could use the b-day love, so thanks! work has been just knocking me senseless lately!

thank you in texas, colorado, even brazil. :)

and yes, anon - i will post my finds. i'll take some pix and get them up in the next day or so.

and jill, nope, i actually thought y'all might have been sick of my r&b escapdes, but will do so promptly.

thanks again, and i hope all you mothers had a fabulously spoiled day. make them do that more often!

no, not sick of it at all! i really enjoy seeing your lovely rooms and have been wondering about the new sofa and if you used the throw pillows you had on the jasper or the ones from your previous ikea sofa. also wondering about your wall of framed art, you mentioned once you were tiring of it, i still love it!

hope you had a nice weekend and got lots of bday love.

Happy birthday, Victoria!

Age is relative. My 66 year old Mother visited my step-grandmother last year at her nursing home and was told by one of the 96 year old residents "Go out there and enjoy your youth!"

You rock and you know it! And we all know it too! And by the way, I'm so happy that you're blogging over at AT again. I love seeing your name all over the net because you have true talent and desire and passion and others need to discover you as all of us are so lucky to have 'met' you already.

Where do you seat fat people? Assuming you invite them over?

I daydream about dwelling in such fine, balanced space, but I'd break any chair depicted if I were to sit on it.

Food for thought.
