Dogwood.  PINK Dogwood!  On the hunt for one for my yard!  Found in Colfax, CA…on our quest to find lots of little antique shops on the way home from Tahoe.  GORGEOUS weather, snow on the way up, and one night.  Saw THIS on the way home -

Spring Forward!!!

I know, I know…we did that a few weeks ago.  I mean spring changes to MEMENTOS!!!  Lots of new ideas going on here at the design studio…can’t wait to share them with you!  I downsized to one shop (Paris Flea Market was oooohhhh sooooo hard to leave!!!) so that I can spend more time on what I love the most…family, friends, Room With A Past, and other fun things too!  I’m taking a few days off…time in Tahoe will clear my mind and get the creative juices going so I can get a fresh start next week.

See you in a few days, in the meantime, Have a Happy Easter!

Welcome to Mementos!!!

Modern technology, oye!  Photos for the Mementos designs blog for the last two PLUS years are out in webland somewhere…they disappeared!!!  We’ll track them down…suffice it to say trying a new ‘photo storage service’ is not always a good idea.  Until the photos can be hooked back up…we’ll just keep being creative!

One of the fabulous new projects Mementos is working on is for the Royal Wedding – these beautiful items and more will be at the Paris Flea Market this weekend.  Stop in and SHOP, you will be glad you did!

Room With a Past is open next weekend, and SPRING is in the air! Mementos designs include a FAB lamp and beautiful vintage garden images in frames, on candles and more!

Last but not least, Mementos designed a special gift for an Eagle Scout in Had’s troop…

What are YOU doing to celebrate Spring?!  Whatever it is…enjoy!!!
