I am a true believer that copying someone is the highest form of flattery. Therefore I occasionally peruse catalogues deciding that someday I will interpret their high priced ideas and turn them into my own.
My latest venture is this chandelier from Pottery Barn. Priced at $399 I think that I could buy a bunch of $4 bottles of wine and almost create the same thing.
So used to the Northeast where the summer is just starting to cool off but it seams like in San Diego it's just heating up?! sheesh. My friend's house is like a brick oven and I'm am nothing less than the pizza. Don't get me wrong I grew up without air conditioning however the nights have been so cool here that this has hit me off guard!
I realize that collections cause clutter but every time I enter a thrift store/antique store all my eye is drawn to is the delicate tea cups that look as if the need to be rescued.
