recent(ish) stuff--picture post

In no particular order...

The most recent wedding, my friend's from last weekend was held in the country. This was her reception area (taken after we had done most of the set-up). This room was above the newly completed horse stables. Tons of green grass, bluebonnets, and Indian paintbrushes could be seen beyond that window.


Another picture from our perfect day (the day after the wedding). You can almost make out some of the bluebonnets back there.

The Brother, SIL, The Boyfriend, and I went to Opening Day. We also went the day after. Yea!



My orchids are blooming again. KatieLady gave me these for a housewarming present.



Awhile back, The Boyfriend and I had a quick little trip to Vegas. This was the view from our hotel room:


This was one of the decorations in the hotel. Beautiful spinning parasols hanging from the ceiling. They also moved up and down. If only there were room for these in my house.

This was the floor. I just loved the color and the designs...all mosaics.

We ate in Paris before we went to see the Cirque show.

I inherited this kolanchoe from my home's previous owner. I left it for dead awhile back. Then I took pity. It's greened up and this was the first new little flower.


I have more free time! I can blog again! Aren't you excited?

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
