Fill in the blanks

For people who have a hard time putting their thoughts into words The Bureau of Communication has the answer.  They provide you with a form and you fill in the blanks.  Can't get any easier.  There is a form for every occasion.  You can send the forms by email and share them on Facebook. 




This form is to tell that special person how much you like them.




And this form is for popping the big question!!!!!

I am enlarging this into the right sidebar so you can read it.

Walltats

A great idea for just about any place in your home.  How cool is this!  These are decals made out of vinyl.  DIY wall art!  By walltat.com.





I would feel like I was sitting outside. 





I love this for a baby's room.


You would definitely have sweet dreams with this above your bed.


And so great on glass........




Beautiful!

Great for privacy and so pretty!

Have a Warm Weekend!



What are you up to this weekend?  It is going to be really cold here in New York so as much as I love being outdoors I think that it is an indoor weekend.  Although I like going for a walk.   Whatever you do have a good one!

Here are some indoor activities.......


Madame Tussaud's

A Broadway show


The Library  (closed this Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Day)

MOMA

A great new restaurant that you haven't tried yet

Shopping - online or at the mall

A good read with a glass of wine (great wines under $20) - I'll have a glass of white with some ice please!

Get together with friends 














Beautiful Backyards

I miss so many things about my house.  One thing that I miss SO much is my backyard.  I found these beautiful backyard photos and started dreaming about having a backyard again! My backyard did not look like any of these but I loved it!!!  If you could pick one of these which one would you choose?

Do you love Sushi?







I really never knew that there was a proper way to eat Sushi.  I always did think that it is proper to shove the whole roll in your mouth even if it was awkward sitting there with a stuffed mouth.  Have you heard about these rules?  (update: talking to my friends on FB - we are not sure if we care about these rules.....but here they are anyway.....)
