It's Halloween!!!

For the Fall Festival, we dressed as the Wizard of Oz characters.  Toto was not turning out the way I wanted, so I scrapped it and went for the surprisingly not-so-obvious yellow brick road.  It turns out most five year olds have not seen the movie and certainly didn't know why I was dressed as a wall (Really!? A wall?). 

On another note, I have fallen off the wagon as the dutiful cook.  I have a limited number of meals I A. can cook and B. am interested in cooking/eating.  That means that after 27 months of marriage, I have cooked my 15 or so specialties about a million times each.  Who are these people who have a 16 week rotating list of 5 different meals per week that rarely eat the same dinner twice?  I am guessing they are not the ones who prefer rice and chicken.  Well thanks to Pinterest, I am going to add to my recipes.  I have a new Grocery List and lots of ideas for this set of meals.  Yum!

Mini Chairs--My Latest Craze!

It all started when I took a little trip to HD Buttercup in LA...



I found this tiny chair, and I immediately became Goldilocks with the perfect sized chair!
Get this HERE
When I visited Restoration Hardware today for some stress relief, I reminded myself when I love this Marseilles chair so much--it's got that down cushion!  But it's a little roomy for this mini chair list.
 But then I found this one--absolutely perfect!  And at only $925 (ha ha), it's the cutest tiny chair ever!
And I'll go ahead and add this 19th c. Medallion Duvet my list of favesies.
