Time moved on, and the things of my past often seemed childish or immature in my view when placed in my now adult space. They were regulated to old boxes or just thrown back to nature, where they originated from. At some point however, I just looked around and thought, “wow, I’ve BOUGHT a lot of stuff”, and really, what is so special about that? ANYONE can do that. I started to reminisce about my childhood, and the things that really brought me joy. I put a twist on those things to fit the design aesthetic I have now.

Antlers now lie jumbled amongst hurricaine enclosed candles on my fireplace mantle. Nests are perched on silver compotes and stuck everywhere. An old hornet’s nest rests on some books in my dining room. What a great equalizer nature is!   It brings me back to some joyous times in my past, is a reminder of a beautiful walk in the woods, is one of a kind and best of all, it’s free and available to everyone.

We just returned from the mother of all Antique shows in Warrenton Texas!  Its a magnet for designers and creative types from all over the world! The junk gypsies were there and we had a fab time at their Junk PROM www.gypsyville.com .   We stayed at the absolutely sweet and fantastic Willow’s nest http://www.willownest.net/the-willow-nest-inn/ with amazing other artists-  Tamara of www.sheeraddiction.comthe amazing  jewelry designer we are always yammering on about and Lisa the owner of www.laruemarche.com in Hudson Wisconsin.    Her shop in Hudson is a MUST SEE!!!!!   It was a great trip and we saw incredible furnishings and dazzling arrangements from venders for all over the world….it was all too much!   At night we found solace in local brew and gas station sandwiches (did we tell you its a small town and there is nowhere to go out to eat? ).  We probably  had the most fun examining and enjoying some of the eccentric and fantastic outfits out there on the dusty roads of Texas!!  People were wearing -  gauzy bloomers-  we are NOT kidding and they looked fab!   So grab somthing you LOVE out of the back of your closet that you have been wanting to wear and have not yet had the gumption-  and rock it out today!  Check out Simon Doonan here we LOVE his book http://www.simondoonan.net/home/
