sunday afternoon

I spent a better part of yesterday driving around town to find a frame for the pink poster. I finally ended up at Cheap Pete's Framing in the inner Richmond (yelp'ing about this place later today). While cheaper than most frame stores it is not ikea cheap but better quality. I originally wanted to go white but I think the blond wood looks just as nice. Also in the second pic is one of my flea market finds from 2 weeks back. A vintage Havoline Oil tin. While I have a few "red cup" mugs to remind me of my days advertising Starbucks and the crazy planning season of the Holiday red cup campaign, I felt the tin would be a great memento of my Havoline advertising days. If this trend continues, I'll eventually be driving a MINI around town vs. the blue jetta? I do love the MINI. Finally, the close up of the pillow shows the great detail of the one of the Mexican pillows I was talking about in an earlier post. I finally found inserts for them. I am slightly happy I did not have to resort to making custom inserts, however I was up for the challenge.

my thursday field trip

thanks!

Thanks to the reader who lead me to adasa.com, i'm ordering the perfume right now! (well i will later tonight at home)

Also, my poster arrived today, the pink one! Yeah! I was really impressed with it. I thought about just hanging it up with double sided tape, but after seeing it in person I am going to frame it (just a simple black one from ikea).

Photos from House Beautiful

Some great images from the latest House Beautiful. I especially like the polka dot bench at the end of the bed!

keep calm and carry on

today is poster day. While purchasing the one, I remembered seeing this poster while reading some blogs and i fell in love with it. The message could not be better. The perfect thing to have at work, am I right or what? Now, I am trying to decide which color to get...thoughts?

for like ever...

Just bought this poster to decorate my area at work. so excited. let's hope it comes faster than the 3 weeks it quoted for delivery. I saw it in Domino Mag and finally found the tiny website that has them

no E people!

Most of the time people get it right the first time. Juli. Not Julie. Yes, Juli with no E. But for some reason, at my new job people are NOT getting it (both internal co-workers and all my outside vendors and partners). I want to scream NO E people.

I mean really!

That is really all I complain about right now, seeing as the weather is AMAZING right now in the bay area. Currently in Sausalito is is HOT, i think high 80s maybe even low 90s! While this is not a live pic, it is basically what I am looking at right now as I leave work to grab lunch.

DVR is the best invention

since having extended cable and DVR I have now become addicted to the following shows:
Big Love
Weeds
Entourage
and House

mimosa mi amore

I am on the hunt again for my on again off again perfume. Mimosa by Calypso. I love it. "Blended with Mimosa and hints of grapefruit, mandarin, and musk, this divine fragrance entices the senses". My last bottle was taken away by airport security, erg!

party dresses

one from Tocca, their "natalie" dress
and one from ABS.

slacking

I've been slacking and my one reader (maybe i have more - but my one KNOWN reader) informed me I needed a new post.

I have so many potential things to blog about right now, hence being to busy to blog. However, I want to keep this blog about pretty happy things. So tonight, when I get home I will compile everything I have seen this week on the internets that I have fallen in love with. If I am able to find my digital camera I will also post all the lovely things I purchase (haggled) at the flea market Sunday.

adorable
