A few of my Nancy Ann dolls. I love their sweet faces and floral dresses.

 My new woodland deer, couldn't resist.

 Some of my first attempts to make ribbon roses. Sadly, it is extremely difficult to find the beautiful ribbons they used to make in the 1920s. I have searched high and low so if anyone knows of any great place to shop for ribbons please let me know.

 These ones are make out of a velvet silk, I really love the colors.

 Sorry to have so many pics of me... I just really love this dress at RASCC, it was too expensive so I satisfied my want by snapping a few photos: )

 Some Materials I found at a recent quilt show in Ontario, Ca. I met the author of this book Helen Gibb, such a sweet lady.

Thanks to everyone for leaving me comments. I really appreciate them, it's nice to have friends.

 I love Harney & Sons tea. My favorite is their Paris tea,but I also like the Wedding tea.

 My mom bought me this hanging heart from Urban Outfitters for Christmas and I finally got around to hanging some little things that don't really have a place.

 Valentine card from last year. The XOXO my mom bought me.

I am currently in New Orleans on a business trip. It has been quite interesting talking with people about Katrina and all of the devastation. Even though its been a long time since, some of the aftermath is still apparent within the city. This is the first time I have been here and the culture is very different from Southern California. I have meet some very nice and helpful people to help me navigate around the city and of course find the antique stores. Sadly, there are not as many left. I had to a least get one Mardi Gras Bead necklace while I was here and of course, one with hearts.

I saw this sweet handmade rose elephant from Thailand at an Anthropologie store and had to take a picture. So cute!

Pushpins from Anthropologie to use on my inspiration board.

 Love the shutters and architecture of this home. I know this is more common on the East coast, but I don't see it that much in the West.

The Scepter up close. I couldn't help but add the picture of me holding it, it makes me feel royal. I have wanted one of these since I was little. I really want to find a cape now!!! I know it sounds silly but I think it would be so fun to walk around in. Forget the prince charming I am the queen of my castle.Lol..I really love the colors too.

A small little painting I found on Magazine street in Louisiana at an antique store. I love the texture and paints coming out of the artwork. I could stare at paintings all day. I have always had a love for art and artists, which started when I was very young and saw some of Van Gough's paintings from the Netherlands at a museum in San Diego.

 My craft room...I really love this space and can spend all day in here.

Valentine's Candies from my Mom on a heart dish I found in Japan.

 Some jewelry on a little heart dish. Sterling heart charm bracelet from my Mom. I love the little teacups and teapots.

 Some pictures from my recent trip to Orlando, FL., Walt Disney World never gets old. I love the New Fantasyland they are building, parts of it were open. I went on Ariel's grotto, but many of the other rides had really long lines. I also went to Epcot and had a blast. I love to visit the different countries and watch the movies they created for Italy and France. It really makes me want to hop on a plane and fly somewhere.

I have started to pull out some heart things to decorate for Valentine's Day. I love to decorate early, hearts can be used all year long.
