Thank You Grant K. Gibson!

Pin It
A couple of weeks ago, Grant K. Gibson posed the question: Mo Faux or NO FAUX. Flowers that is. 

In a sweet gesture from the gentleman himself, he asked that we comment away and one lucky commenter would win a nice bunch of the peonies that he used for his room in the San Francisco Decorator Showhouse. Well, wouldn't you know.....I won! And I swear, I have never won anything in my life that I didn't 'work for.' So I was thrilled to bits! 

Today, I received the lovely package with a smart little handwritten note done up on crisp letterpress stationery. So kind! 

Since I (embarrassingly) believe that those mo fauxers have a time and place (if done well!!!) The pretty  peonies found a new home in my dining room. 

Thank you, Grant! I promise to water them daily and keep them smelling as nice as they have for the last 3 years ;)

Sometimes I Just Like To Play

Pin It




All from my yard! Thank goodness for plants that grow themselves year after year, because this gangrene thumb couldn't even keep the fresh thyme {that I bought  in a planter!!} alive for more than three days. I quietly wept as it rapidly withered.......

The girly-girly fru-fru china was passed down to me from my great-aunt, rest her lovely soul. Isn't it sweet?  It inspires me want to make some Marie Antoinette-like confections and have an all out girly date replete with champagne and a shoe-fashion show.
