Mamma Mia!

No, not referring to the movie. My mom is flying out to visit from Texas tonight for the weekend! I'm so excited, I haven't really seen her since the wedding:



We are going to have a fun filled weekend going to an art fair in Laguna Beach:


and one of my favorite places:

(Temecula Wine Country)

I have my very first wine club shipment to pick up - I'm so excited! Maybe I'll send Mom home with one of my bottles.

I'm sure there will be a lot of gossiping and shopping over the next couple days too.

Have a great weekend!

If I had $100...

I would purchase a piece from Gretchen Kelly. She paints and draws lovely landscapes





and interior spaces


(that bed!!)



But I do have to admit, my favorites are her nudes.





The minute I get $100 to frivolously, I'm going straight to her to buy one of her pieces. I emailed her to get her permission to post her art on my blog, and she is the sweetest ever! Most of her paintings are $100 (which I think is a STEAL for her talent), and she even does commissions! How fun would that be?

Check out her blog and her site.

I've always thought that a DIY headboard was made with a large piece of plywood. Although that is one way to do it, the awesome newlyweds over at This Young House opened my eyes to a much easier way. Be sure to check it out your self at thisyounghouse.com!!
