    by  • 27 Feb ’08 • linens • 28 Comments

    I have often said, and I honestly believe, that all the best does not always equal the most expensive. Just look at Maybelline Great Lash mascara, arguably one of the best on the market and by all counts it’s a steal. I am hoping that many of you will weigh in on this topic...

    I love estate jewelry. Not only for its uniqueness, but the stories and history that accompany such pieces. One of my favorite online shops to browse is Fay Cullen. I could spend hours surfing and daydreaming. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

    Our hallway is coming along, slowly but surely. It took the whole week to tape off and paint. I underestimated the time and labor involved in this project, but it was well worth it! It really looks great and the color is just what I hoped it would be—subtle, yet rich in depth. Did...
