Oh, how I’ve missed you guys. You see, for those of you who don’t yet blog, it is a bit addicting, in the best possible way.
It’s been an overwhelming week, a good week but supremely busy. I have to say that tonight is the first time, officially 3 weeks into our new home, that I actually am starting to feel at home. Sean has his famous oven roasted chicken cooking. I’m listening to my favorite holiday music, a little early I know but I’m working on my first painting for my annual holiday cards (that I will be back to share with you shortly). I’m beginning to feel some peace and hoping it will continue to stay. I thought this was a good time to say a quick hello to you and wish you a happy weekend.

And the photo above ~ this is me yesterday, a bit exhausted but happy. Friday afternoon, I put work aside and went with Sean to a movie and a little fun shopping (I say fun here, because we’ve been doing so much "supply" shopping for the new house, it was a nice change to browse for inspiration and some new clothes) ~ which of course always includes a visit to my favorite store Anthropologie ~ by the way on a side note if you live in LA anywhere remotely close to the Grove, you must pop in to see the decorations in this Anthropologie. My description with words won’t do them justice, but let’s just say they are AMAZING if you like animals, holiday season and winter. I’m modeling my new favorite orange dress for you and my new favorite earrings that I bought yesterday. The earrings that I had been eyeing for the last 3 months, really!, were on sale ~ always such a delightful surprise when that happens.
