For the past 4 years I have called Utah my home. I wake up every morning to a warm hug of Utah Mountains that surround my home. I can enjoy spending the cool summer evenings with my husband and dog gazing over the vast glittering lake until night falls and I am captivated by the starry sky until the wee hours of the night. However, I often find myself day dreaming back to my home on the east coast wishing I could touch and hold so many of the places and things I miss. One of those would be the rich architecture. Just like an heirloom caught in space and time with it’s lines, color and texture.. this to on many occasions has left me breathless. Secretly I hope my husband will come home one day and say he bought me a home in Georgetown and I have no choice but to suck it up and decide how I am going to re-decorate it. Of course If it were up to me, I would have a handful of houses around the world that encompass all sorts of styles and designs tastes, but hey who am I again? ( laughs )

Today is the day I reminisce about East Coast style and hope that somehow I am able to bring a bit of it back into my own Utah home.

Here’s to a day of not knowing what color I am. I thought Clementine Art was the perfect gift to help me find out. They are a wonderful selection of high quality non-toxic and environmentally friendly items that just make days like these seem a little bit brighter.

What shade are you?

As of late I have been enjoying the updated “themed birthday party” ideas that have been making a hugh splash around the world wide web. Not having any children of my own, and feeling that throwing some sort of birthday celebration for my dog would just be even to weird for me, I simply catalog the ones I like and save them for a later date. Then again, let’s be honest.. when you see a Harry Potter themed party it is hard to not stop and try to make this idea some how work into your everyday life. I’m thinking perhaps a Harry Potter Thanksgiving this year, yes? ( Ok, clearly that won’t work but was worth a shot )

Thanks to Jennifer Sbranti best known as The Hostess With The Mostess, for teaming up with  iVillage for 12 Easy Ideas for a Wizard-Worthy Harry Potter Birthday Party. Since the next movie is due out in Novemeber this is the perfec time to jump start on your planning party ideas. Children in the house or not I love the imagination, creativy and just joy that Harry and his friends bring into my life. Looking forward to Novemeber and my now must have HP Party Bash!

ps: Your all invited. Save the date!

I love pomegranates, so this will come as no surprise when I say I am in love with this collection from lostbirdfound.com. Even though the color is not an exact match ( thanks for pointing that out mom, lol ) I still am convinced I need a new upgrade for my pocket bag.

Happy Friday – I’m going to enjoy some good weather and some yard work.
