The 12 Days of Xmas Daily Gift Guide - The 8th Day...

It has been pointed out that I am technically going backwards in this whole 12 days of Xmas thing, but it has been intentional..I always though it sounded backwards the other way and since this is my blog..I get to make it up as I go along, right???

Anyhoo........

On the 8th day of Xmas, my true love gave to me.........

........a lovely design book, or two! Who wouldn't love a fabulous coffee table design book by Kelly Wearstler or Jonathan Adler? All three are great sources of inspiration from two completely different viewpoints! I love them both!

The books are from $34.95 - $29.95 each. Stop by and pick one or two up for your favorite deign junkie - they will thank you for it!

cute rug!

i love jonathan adler - he is just so damn cheerful (and a heck of a nice guy!)- and so are his products.....i found this lovely purple wool rug from his "marrakesh" collection on a trade newsletter this morning. a 5 x 8 will only set you back $895 - and to sweeten the deal - if you go to his website - jonathanadler.com, you will get an additional 20% off at checkout - nice!!

ok then....back to my vk. we are off to a few botanical gardens today. i am very excited about the moir gardens, which is supposed to have an extra large collection of succulents and cacti - oooooooooohhhhhhhh........and the largest personal collection of aloe. sunscreen and a hat are in order......see ya!

UNBELIEVABLE!

I almost had a heart attack this afternoon - in a good way - I was catching up on some blog reading and logged onto http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ , went to the San Francisco link and lo' and behold - there I was - well not me exactly, but some of my work. YIPPEE!!!!!! There was also a really lovely mention of my shop and several pictures of a seriously dramatic do-over client project. Many grateful thanks to Lily at Apartment Therapy for the lovely comments! I have had over 450 visitors to my website because of it! Having never had this happen before, it feels like I am on top of the world! Here is the link to the actual article. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/inspiration/before-and-after-interiors-by-digs-080556 and if you have not been to this site - you have to check it out - so much useful and interesting information - from LA, DC, SF, NY, Boston and Chicago.

And just for the fun of it here is an image of some new lighting by Robert Abbey and Mobital that we are getting in the shop this week.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good night!
