Inspiration...

We're in the GPNW...Great Pacific North West...finding beauty and inspiring sites at every turn.

Lunching at the top of the Space Needle...visiting family...The Marketplace...seeing the 'Underground', all quite enjoyable!

And the shopping...OH THE SHOPPING!!!!! Called 'junkin' here is AMAZING!!! I can't wait to get back to share some of the goodies I've found with my RWAP Roomies! I could spend a week just Junkin'. I've met a new friend online...fellow blogger Debi. Thanks for the 'Junkin' shopping tips, Deb! I'll wave on my way through Snohomish.

Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Welcome to Mementos!!!

Happy 2009!!!

I've started a new blog for Mementos, my party/wedding/vintage image stationery etc business. This is where I'll post new pics of what I've been working on (the latest event, shop opening, creative whim or whatever strikes my fancy at the moment) and may post the occasional family photo or two. Thanks to my blogging/RWAP friend Jan at Little Pink Houses for the gentle nudge I needed to get back to the lovely world of blogging.

So if you know me, you know other than my family and friends and my work, I LOVE to decorate our home...and my passion for all things beautiful and fun for the home keeps me lovin' my spot at Room With A Past in Walnut Creek (Cali). We were open this weekend and of course I had lots of home dec to offer, but even better...lots of valentine-y themed things. Tags, cards, cute 'lil red bottles w/glittered hearts, all quite yummy in my favorite color of all - - - RED!!! See all that yummy color??? It just makes my heart happy.

And I'm happy to be here too. I hope those of you who have followed me over at Mementos and Memories find me here too. I'm really looking forward to sharing some of what I do with you!

Hugs!
