A Bunny and an Anniversary

at by


Look who I saw outside the kitchen window. Soon after this photo was taken, he took off and I could see his little cotton tail disappearing into the woods. I hadn’t seen one in a long while, so I was delighted when this little guy showed up for a brief moment. I am nuts about bunny rabbits!

Today is our wedding anniversary – 11 years. We did indeed get married on Columbus Day as it was my husband’s day off from the theater. Last year was a big celebration. This year we will spend the day raking leaves, putting our window air conditioners into storage and cleaning. My sister arrives on Thursday for 4 days. The office/music studio/guest room has to become a guest bedroom and less of a music studio.

I hope you are enjoying your holiday. Happy Anniversary, Don!

Pink Saturday and an Anniversary

at by

Happy Pink Saturday and Fourth of July everyone! I’m celebrating the anniversary of meeting my husband. 15 years ago I met Don at a friend’s Fourth of July party on the beach here in San Diego. Yes, I literally saw fireworks when I met him! We celebrate both our anniversaries. But in some ways, this is the most meaningful – I mean I wouldn’t have a wedding anniversary without that initial meeting, would I?

Now on to some pinkness!

This pretty ensemble was on display at the Barn Sale.

Don’t you love these canisters?

I gasped when I saw this desk – I love the curvy lines and the rose knobs – so pretty! I wouldn’t mind blogging from this beauty.
Please stop by Beverly’s blog and visit everyone on the Pink Saturday list. Have a great weekend. I am finally headed home this Monday! I’ve just about finished packing, have one show yet to open and then a lot of hugs and good-byes to share.

An Anniversary and a Cause

at by

First, I want to wish my parents a Happy Anniversary! Today marks 63 years since they took their vows back in Detroit, Michigan. I am so proud of you, Mom and Dad. You made a commitment to each other, worked hard at your marriage and raised 4 children. I am enormously proud of you and thankful that you are my parents. Happy Anniversary, Gordon and Shirley!


I want to draw your attention to a wonderful cause. Kelee Katillac is a designer who truly gives back to the community. Her latest idea is one that will really help lost dogs. Oliver Wendell is Kelee’s dog – the photo you see above is of a scarf. Kelee’s idea is to have us all buy scarves and decorate them, then take a photo of the scarf on your dog and send it to Kelee. For each decorated scarf $10.00 will be contributed to the effort to help rescue lost dogs. Many, many pets are being abandoned by families dealing with foreclosure and financial loss. What a great idea! Please visit Kelee ~ she will tell you exactly what to do.

Have a wonderful Monday! (Don’t forget to scroll down and see the eye candy from the Barn Sale!)
