An Afternoon at Middle Cove...Newfoundland

I have been lucky enough to go "Home" twice this summer /fall to Newfoundland...

I can not express to all of you how much I love it there and how incredibly happy I am when I'm there!The people, the scenery , the food and the laughs...it makes for a magical place.

This particular afternoon we decided to hop and in the car and take a quick run to

Middle Cove..Here are a few pics of my family at the beach...ahhhhh

My mom and dad

Mom, CeCe and her dirty old feathers...

I always find a ton of sea urchins...this one was a great one so I decided Tony needed to hold it...

I am not to sure if he thought this was a good idea..

but I really wanted him to show CeCe

He is not looking overly impressed....

But CeCe thinks it is neat...

Wing Back Chairs

Well...I am having a thing for wing back chairs..I love, love the two pictured above here.

Check out the height of their back's...it just makes me want to hop in with a little bevy...and a great book!!

Oh..and look at that fabby light...

Silhouettes

I think these few pictures are a great idea for Christmas gifts...I know...it is September....but it is so cold out tonight and well it sort of got me thinking...Christmas will be here before you know it...and why not get a head start...
HHow cute are theses lunch bags for a niece or a nephew.....

I hope my husband reads this blog...however I don't think he does...so those of you that know Tony...this is a major hint ...for Christmas, Anniversaries, birthday's etc...I found this on Etsy...I just typed in Silhouette necklace...I adore this!!

Drink markers! Cute!!

I will be away for a week...and I don't think I will be able to post a new blog till next Tuesday!

I am happily going to Newfoundland...the place I love most on this earth...My Nan turns 80!! And we will be there with bells on to help her celebrate.. I love this lady very much and I am so so grateful I have had her in my life all this time...she is truly a remarkable lady and she is still so young and hip! I can't wait to arrive and rush to see her!

Have a great week!I know my little family will!

Vive J Crew

OK...

Here it goes...I am seriously addicted to J Crew...I love every catalogue that gets delivered to my house . I love that Michelle Obama wears J Crew. I love that they have crew cuts for the kiddies...And I am in love with Jenna Lyons the Buyer/ Director for J Crew....Have you seen her home in New York...if not I will be sure to post some pics...it as cool as her clothes...

Can we take a moment and look at this sweater.. I am swooning over the ruffle ...do you know I went to order this ...and they are SOLD OUT...See...tons of other people must think J Crew is pretty awesome as well! And for all my 80's gals...check out the Tretorn's...oh yeah Gals they are back!! (cue the 80's music) and JCrew is carrying them!!

A Happy Spot

Oh yeah....check out the doors leading to the garden....

Is that not just amazing....I would be deliriously happy in this room..I would never leave

Nope... not for a second...not even to eat...I would just stay here and relax...and admire!

I am loving this room!

And I would be bone thin...not even chocolate would drag me from here!

I am not sure where I have found these pictures....but I have to tell you I would do just about anything to live in this house....Can we take a moment and look at those incredible glass doors...honestly...seriously...How beautiful are they!! Stunning!!

Grape and Wine time!

Well it is that wonderful time of year again... Grape and Wine...For all those who live in the Niagara Region they know it well very well..It is a time to celebrate our wine , a time to taste great food and a time to listen to some great bands...

I have always viewed this as the official end of summer...which is a little harder this year as summer was late and wet ...and a tad cooler! I am sure I will make up for it in these next few weeks! Here is a picture of a wine bar...I am loving the bottle opener,the wine baskets and the wine rack...It looks as though this was put into a closet...hmmm . What a great idea..Who needs to hang coats, and put shoes away...Maybe we need to do a little renovation! HaHa

Cheers Friends..I hope you get out to a few of the great festivities!

A lovely laundry room..

CeCe starts french nursery school tomorrow..I have mixed feelings on this...I am delighted beyond words that she will be able to pick up the french language at such a young age, I adore the whole french culture...so that is a no brainer.

My heart sinks down to my toes at the thought of leaving her for hours in a little classroom where she does not know a lick of french...I am wondering if she will feel so left out and sad.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

And I bet you are thinking O'Reilly what is with the laundry pic...well they have a little cot for her to take a nap at some point in the day...She is allowed to take her blankie..I am washing it in a dungeon of a laundry room and dreaming that one day I may have this lovely room... and a little girl who will ask me in french for a "petite couverte pour la sieste!"ahhhh to dream!

Bonne nuit!

Entryways

A few pictures of a couple of entryways that I am liking....

This one above is my favorite.. I am hooked get it!!

I really love the over sized clock.... gosh.. talk about knowing what time you left the house...

Kind of like a fancy scoreboard you can't help but always take a peek at the time!

I have found myself these past few weeks crunching numbers...lots and lots of numbers...So I couldn't help myself...I had to post just a few here!

Monday monday...

Happy Monday...Just a quick post...I am loving this necklace..isn't it lovely!!

Some White Interiors

Not only is the little girl adorable...but I love the color gray that they painted the kitchen.

Ohhh the mirror.....and the bed ...ohhh I love it..

Oh white...always so pretty and peaceful!!

Maps

I am loving the shoes made out of paper maps! I would love to put these in a shadow box !

Hmmm ...maybe I need to start collecting maps...there is something so intriguing about them...

I guess it is the endless possibilities of where you can go!

Feeling a little Swedish today...

I went to Ikea with my mom and CeCe today....I love they way you can check your child in and shop care free for an hour or so..seriously that is the best marketing idea ever!

I wish the grocery stores would hop on that idea...anyways it got me feeling a little traditional Swedish today.
