Spring is in the air...

With blue skies and flowering trees everywhere
Maggie & Reese are ready to bring spring indoors!
Here are some ways to brighten your interiors:

Move around existing accessories with 
spring motifs and create a new side table vignette:


Nothing says springtime quite like the traditional 
color combination of blue and orange,  
to keep the look fresh and current, add a touch of 
Emerald Green, 2013 Color of the Year:


Take a walk outside for inspiration...


Think reflective surfaces to keep the 
look sunny and bright...


Pink and purple, flowered coasters and bug candies 
in an antique dish...

Life Changes

One of the things I have learned over the years is 
that life changes when you least expect it!

Last year I took time off 
of work as my "baby" got married.  
After the happy event my husband and I settled 
into being parents now to two happily 
married sons and their wives.  
With our oldest and his wife living in England 
and the newlyweds based in Arizona, 
we figured our life would probably 
settle into Skype calls once a week, 
until life decided we needed a change!

On February 21, our first (of hopefully many) 
grandson arrived!


Meet Quentin!
(or Master Q as Grandpa refers to him!)
I am totally in love with this beautiful little boy
and have pronounced that as of this moment, 
I am sure he is the most perfect baby on the planet!
After a week of snuggling and cooing, I had 
to finally get in the car and face the 14 hour drive home.
Very, very hard! But as the old 
Frank Sinatra song goes ~ that's life!  
And we are so happy to have this 
new life to share.
