Tuesdays thoughts...

I am so out of the blogging loop, it's not even funny.  I can't seem to post regularly.  I've lost my blogging mojo to the 100 degrees days we are having...it is FRIED!
KNOW what I mean....I am sure that you do, although some of you blogging heroes seem to slog through and come up with entertaining, if not heroic!, blog posts.  Not me, I'm fresh out of heroic juice.



Y'all were so nice to make sweet comments about the vignettes in my house.......but you might have been mistaken that the couch from the Willow House product showcase was mine....oh heavens, no.  It was indeed lovely, but that was not it.  I"ll show you the mock up and you can compare when it actually gets here and what I am going to do with the stinkin' pillows.  I could NOT for the life of me pick out fabric for the pillows to go in my living room, so I settled for something I like, but will either have to change out accessories and fluff the room differently (which I do not mind at all) OR just cover those babies.  I'm leaning toward covering the pillows.  But I do love the shape of the sofa...I'm told by the furniture people, we don't call them couches anymore.....who KNEW??? We call them sofas. 

There she is.....although the name of the sofa is Jefferson, so maybe I should say HE???
And while I am thinking about moving furniture, like sofas and chairs, I am thinking it's just going to be more sweating....is anyone else HOT???
I just want to be here....

Anyone up for a road trip??? Have a great day and stay hydrated, and under the air conditioner/fan!

PS....another COOL thing you may want to check out is the Prop Closet giveaway that goes on every Tuesday at Plate and Pattern...they are giving away a double place setting of our handsome new Riverstone Pottery......that's a $90 value or more!  Go on over and enter and check their FB page to see who wins tomorrow!  Or I will check it for  you if you're not on FB.

Some things around here.....

In my foyer

Well, the good news is I FINALLY ordered a couch!!  Can I get an AMEN?? Haha....it seems that I"ve been looking forever! In about a month or so, I'll be glad to show you what I ordered.  I am not sure I'll like the pillows I ordered, but I'm already planning what I want to cover them with!  I'm going to see what they look like in my living room then make a decision.  I'll be asking your opinions!!

So, I thought I'd show you a few things I've got around my house, like a few small vignettes.
Here is my coffee table in my den...

These are from Southern Living at HOME....doesn't almost EVERYONE have these??? Yet, I love their style!

this is sitting on top of the heirloom rolltop desk we got two years ago

In my kitchen....I love this vignette!

Gee whiz....

Time flies, doesn't it?? Yet when we want something to get here ALREADY, it seems to take forever....for instance, cooler weather........would LOVE for it to be here, and break this summertime heat !! Yet some of you think, but then comes winter, and I am SO not ready for that.....just for the record, TEXAS is ready for fall and winter!
So days fly by and I haven't had a chance to blog.......catching up from travel time, house needs attention, clothes need to be washed and these people want a meal or two!! I know you, too, have faced such challenges as well.
I am eager to show you more pictures from our Product Showcase from the national Convention for Willow House.  Do you want to see them?
I'll start with a few and you let me know if you want to see more, m'kay?

We had not only our Simply Good Design Home Decor Product Showcase, but also the Jewelry by Sara Blaine jewelry display that we were all so anxious to feast upon! Boy, were we wowed, and in no way disappointed!!!  Our design team totally ROCKS and really showed us some great ideas.
You be the judge!!

Hard to get a shot of the mirror w/o someone's reflection...that's not me, but would you look at these TRIVETS surrounding the mirror?? How clever is that???

Isn't this FUN and colorful???

This fashioned headboard is done with Paint and three Cottage Garden Wall decor!!

Stunning with purples and grays!

Ingenious...this is a window box planter, turned into a wall sconce! See, ingenious, right?

Doesn't this make you want to have a PARTY??

who would have thought to surround a round mirror with our sconces and make a starburst?? They DID it! Cool, huh? And notice the smaller framed items are framed COASTERS!!!  The architectural lamps are made with garden trellises!

how did ten days go by with NO posts???

Isn't this FUN????

EASY, creative way to add a headboard!!!

Who wouldn't love a craft room as beautiful as this??

isn't the purple and gray a great combination???

Well, all my business and busyness had me all in a tizzy!! SO MANY great things to share with you all.......IF you want to hear about Willow House and all the GREAT things in store.  AND IF you want to see eye candy from the product showcase that our great designers (who blog by the way over HERE) come up with each year to both pique our interest and give us spectacular ideas for our products...you just won't believe some of them!!!
While I hate to inundate those of you who don't like to decorate or be inspired with such great ideas, I just don't see how I can do anything else......so let me know if you like the ideas!!  And remember that on Plate and Pattern, they give away a product every Tuesday on Prop Closet Tuesday....so check in every week, and you might just WIN something great!

They just wowed us with both the Product Showcase for the HOME as well as the display for our new line of Jewelry by Sara Blaine....I did mention to you that we are the first direct sales company to be multi-divisional, right? We are launching a line of beautifully hand-crafted jewelry this fall......it is hand crafted in Bali!  Sara's designs are phenomenal, and I think you will agree that they are just downright gorgeous.
So why don't I just show you some pictures???
I'll start with the product showcase, and then tomorrow or the next day...(SO MUCH to do to catch up from being gone!) I'll show you the jewelry.
Hope you enjoy!! I have much more to share!!!

The lovely Monarch lantern...do you like it?

Do you LOVE this vase??  The Athena Crackle Vase....$34.96!

Isn't this a beautiful, calming tablescape??

The Monarch Lantern....just gorgeous and huge!
