Ten things that make me happy – August 2009

Okay I'm a day late, but...

1. Organic Cotton Union Jack Pillow from Fabricadabra
2. Heirloom and Hybrid Tomatoes – I'm obsessed with growing some. These are called Oaxacan Jewel.
3. Bird Shopper – I love cool grocery totes.
4. Parrot Garland from Pearl River Mart – Great for an end of summer celebration!
5. Diamond Bamboo Chair from Kanibal Home – They've got a blog too.
   
6. Routtura 3-light blue glass and chrome chandelier – Only $99 from homedepot.com! Also comes in amber glass, which I also find beguiling.
   
7. Dresses from Mod Cloth
8. Tiffany Blue – This approximation is Aquaduct from Sherwin-Williams. Perhaps my hall wants to be decked out as a little blue box.
9. Pushing Daisies – It's twee, it's clever, it's surreal and it's canceled. Should have known this one was too off-the-wall for network.
10. Big funky earrings – And this particular pair is on sale.

Ten things that make me happy – July 2009

Since today marks the end of the month of July I put together a list of ten things that make me happy at the moment. This post goes out to my old pal Domino, something else that never failed to make me happy.

1. Bee & Flower Soap – Comes in Sandalwood, Rose, Ginseng, Jasmine and some new scents I didn't even know about.
2. Orla Kiely Stem Print Classic Bag – Currently on sale!
   
3. Living Wreaths
4. Diamond Dogs Fabric by Schumacher – To the trade only...great sadness.
   
5. Amy’s Organic Cakes – Available on the frozen food aisle. They're also vegan and totally delicious!
   
6. Statement Jewelry – Just put this one piece on and you're done!
   
7. Seconds Dinner Plates by Jason Miller
8. Thorsten van Elten Pigeon Light
9. Paul Ranson "Apple Tree with Red Fruit" Framed Print
10. St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur – This libation will always remind me of my friend Amy.
    

And now I shall take my leave and journey to the beach. With any luck I'll be away from the computer for the weekend, but rest assured, my half-baked decorating opinions and sparkling wit will return next week.
