White Wednesday

I've kind of felt like my cat Makena, pictured above. A bit tired from working so much these past few months. I've been buried in paperwork today, and for some reason it is sadly never finished! The one really nice thing on this "White Wednesday",(and don't forget to go visit Kathleen) is that I've got to be home again. My daughter, Katie, is back from maternity leave so I don't have to work quite as much AT my store, Country Roads! It's been months since I've been able to stay home for the day and have all my candles lit. I LOVE to have candles burning in my house, makes it feel warm and cozy. I still have a lot to do around the house, like find places for a couple of architectural pieces I just bought at Country Roads. So, with all that said, I decided to take some random photos of "stuff" around my home today!











On this old, square primitive table that some day will be "the kids table" at family dinners, are three of my favorite photos. From left to right. . .the first is my Mom. I have always loved this picture, but was so touched when one of my Country Roads family, Lori Gutierrez who happens to be an awesome artist, embellished the photo for me. I was SO touched. The photo in the middle is of me, my sister and my Dad at the old Pier Point landing that use to be here in Long Beach. And the photo on the right is of my little baby Bodhi's hands. I took the picture and just feel in love with it! I have to say again, it has REALLY been nice to have more time at home. I've missed being here, and that is why I chose to just take some random pictures, not of my house, but of my home!
