Cat

First I'd like to thank you all for the feedback yesterday!! I have a date with my computer this weekend to sit down and go through all the blogs you posted. I can't wait! :)

This week there has been a sweet cat roaming our neighborhood. We actually see quite a few cats, but usually they are very mean and are "wilderness" type of cats. This cat is obviously a house cat that has gotten out.

My neighbor has put up signs and has been feeding it, but has not heard back from anyone. Last night I saw it out and it was starting to rain. It broke my heart, so I picked it up and brought it in with me. My husband wasn't too thrilled.



It had some pretty crazy dreadlocks under it's chin, in this picture I was clipping them off (as best I could).

I'm posting to see if anyone out there in Charlotte or the surrounding area would be interested in adopting a sweet cat?

Here is some more info:

- It's the friendliest cat I have ever met. It acts more like a dog than a cat! It just wants to cuddle and is constantly purring. It comes when you call it and has been doing really well around Charlotte. It's also super laid back.

- It's potty trained. We put a litter box out for it last night and I was surprised to see in the morning it had used it. I didn't realize it but I had purchased organic litter that was pellets instead of the other stuff, so I really didn't think it would use it, but it did!

- What can I say, it's adorable! And orange!

I have no problem "fostering" this cat until it gets a good home, but Charlotte isn't too keen on cats so we can't keep it long term. I'm doing everything I can to make sure it goes to a good home!

If you are interested or want more info, please email me at brynalexandra@gmail.com. Thanks!

Let's talk about blogging.

Maybe I'm just imagining things, but it seems since Pinterest has come around there has been less blogging going on. I recently went through my Blog Love links and realized a lot of blogs no longer post or post very infrequently. I've seen some other blogs mention the same thing, I was curious if you have noticed it too?

Or maybe when you've been blogging for as long as I have (4 years now, crazy!) there will always be bloggers that come and go?

I still ADORE the blogs that I read every morning with my coffee and I obviously still love blogging.. I think it will be in my life for a long, long time. I'd love to be introduced to some new-to-me blogs that for some reason or another has slipped under my radar.

SO please do share, what are your 5 most FAVORITE must-read-everyday blogs? The ones that when you see they have a new post up, you can't click fast enough to read. Please don't list your own blog or my blog, I want the picks to be completely unbiased. :)

Here are my picks (it was hard):

Little Green Notebook - I'm sure this one will be on almost everyone's list! She is one of the best.

Rockstar Diaries - Even though it's not a design blog per say, I can't get enough of this adorable little family.

Urban Grace Interiors - Erika doesn't post very often, but when she does I love to soak it all in. She's been one of my favorites for a long, long time.

High Street Market - Kelly has such a great eye, and her posts are always so well put together.




Design Indulgence - Sherry says exactly what she thinks, and I love it. She always makes me laugh. She's also crazy talented and I love seeing the projects she works on.

Design Board Comes To Life

I really love when e-decorating clients send me "after" pics of their space that I helped them with. I helped Melissa with her baby boy nursery back in June. The little guy is here and her nursery was recently featured on Apartment Therapy!

Here is the original design board:



Melissa changed a couple things, but kept my favorite part - the custom orange window treatments (I like the navy even better than the green)! She did a great job incorporating her own touches to my plan.









Thanks for sharing, Melissa! And congrats on your adorable little guy :)
