Butterfly in the Sky


Hello there dear friends.
I hope all is well with you.

The other day I stopped by this cute little vintage store in my town called Garnish.

I spied a bunch of cute stuff, but I was particularly drawn to these vintage butterfly trays:





and this cigarette holder? pen holder? I'm not quite sure what this thing is, but I liked it.





Are you sensing a theme to what I'm liking here?

"Butterfly in the sky. I can see twice as high." Yes, I'm aging myself, but I loved that show. 
(Reading Rainbow for those of you that didn't grow up in the 80s.) 
Also, loved LeVar Burton's recent appearance on the Colbert Report. 
You must watch {this}. 
It is hilarious. Love you Stephen!


Wow! I'm really getting off topic here. Back to the butterflies, woman!! lol



I started noticing butterflies everywhere.


Maybe it's because we got this for the boys:
The caterpillars are morphing into butterflies as we speak.

All of this butterfly talk has me reminiscing:





Thoughts on butterflies???? Not the actual insects, silly!
 Don't get me wrong, it can be uber corny if done wrong, so make sure you do it right!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall....and dressers.. and tables.. and..

I'm a BIG fan of mirrors.  I think buying an amazing mirror can take a space from being ho-hum to over-the-top .  I also really love mirrored furniture, especially tables.  Here are some of my current favs.  Now, I know some of these are pricey, but we're talking inspiration here.  If these are out of range for you, you can always try a similar style at a discount home store like Home Goods.  Do you have a favorite store where you can always pick up great home decor? I think these would look great on either side of my bed Pottery Barn Park Mirrored Bedside Table or these Sarried Astrid Lamp Table (just sold out on Joss & Main) This would look lovely in my 'dressing room' in my new house Pottery Barn Park Mirrored Tower Dresser I MUST have this mirror Horchow Knot Mirror Talk about a MAJOR statement Horchow Janice Minor White Porcupine Quill Mirror Very similiar to the Horchow knot mirror Amanda Erin- Michael mirror-Currently

What are you Reading?

It's raining in NYC, which is quite welcome considering how extremely hot it has been the last few weeks. Days like these make me feel like staying home and curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.  In fact, our new house has a porch (wish list item), so I'm looking forward to spending some time out there under a blanket with a cool breeze blowing over me with a glass of wine, book in hand (not sure how I can do this with two toddlers running around).  Wow! I'm really getting into this porch scenario.  You can tell I've obviously thought about this.. A LOT. This would be a good place to curl up.  Love the grey and yellow theme to this window seat/reading nook     Insert me here:  Image via Pinterest via google      I usually like to read something serious then follow that book up with more light-hearted reads.  A few years ago, I read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.  I have a thing for literature by Russian novelists.  With

Weekend in Review

Hello there! It's been waaaaay tooooo long. So sorry for my absence, but my nanny/babysitter had a death in the family and had to go home for a week.  All of our back up babysitters-aka our parents- were out of the country, traveling for business or extremely busy at the office and therefore could not provide their usual assistance.  Luckily for us, hubby's company has emergency daycare that you can use 3 weeks out of the year for situations just like this.  I really have to take my hat off to parents who schlep their kiddos every day to daycare, summer camp, grandma and grandpa's house etc. before they head into the office.  Let me just say it ain't easy getting those little guys dressed and fed and out the door early in the morning (of course I have to do this on weekends, but there isn't the pressure of being late for work).  The boys ended up having a great time and enjoyed taking the subway every day, so somehow we survived.  Oh- and most important
