i love disco, i love the nightlife… I love the 70’s. Just sayin’. I’m THRILLED to share the home of blogger Joslyn Taylor with you. It’s stunning. Truly. We’re lucky to live in an area where there are little gems of very cool 70’s mod houses. She and her husband Bryan discovered this house and described it as “boogie nights meets brady bunch” (which equals for me, I’m in! and must see ASAP!!). I’m happy to report this house for a family of four has still got a little boogie nights rockin’. Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend.

our oh-so talented friends… Alicia and Adam Rico of Bows and Arrows just bought a 1920’s house to be closer to their amazing store/gallery/ on lower Greenville. They plan to start doing “wedding/party inspired” photoshoots monthly to post via their blog and if they are as adorable as this I can’t wait! Pink, yellow, vintage, yummy and lovely. Enjoy, it’s been a really long time since I’ve done an entertaining post. Thanks so much Rico family for sharing your little parté for two with us!

so darn cute… I can’t even STAND it! My parents had baby sheep for a short period of time (until they grew up of course). I loved them…they are like little puppy’s only more wooly and jumpy. This is a series of photographs conjured up by the genius photographer Sharon Montrose. You can BUY these. Yes, I know…panic! And if you can swing it there’s a large one of 30″ x 40″ — maybe not feasible for all of us but TDF yes?? Can you imagine a huge print of this on my wall?? I’m in love. Available via The Animal Print Shop and site design by Also. (who - ps- is also unbelievably genius)

as promised… Patina Green Home and Market! I met Kaci Lyford through one of my best frienda when we were hunting antiques in Roundtop last year. At the time she and her mom, Luann had an antique business focusing on antique fairs, a booth at White Elephant and another booth in downtown McKinney. All absolutely lovely. In March I saw her again and she was opening a new store in downtown McKinney with her mom and chef husband Robert. On June 26th, I attended the grand opening and was stunned. The store/market/flowershop was WAY more than I could have even imagined. Enjoy… **MAKE NOTE: The Patina Green crew is headed to Europe for their annual shopping trip from August 9-23. So run down this weekend before or check in with them mid September when the container arrives!**

newsflash… August is the H-O-T-T-E-S-T month in Texas. 100’s + all week…it’s pretty unbearable but lucky for us there is the miracle of air conditioning. Today the “Hot Issue” of FD hit the stands. It is a GREAT issue -jam packed full of info. I was lucky enough to work on four pieces: In the market - Patina Green, Animal Collective - product/trend roundup, Hot NonProfit -Dwell with Dignity, Hot Handout - Calling Cards by Missing Q Press. AND I am thrilled that I was mentioned as a Hot Moonlighter - Interior Consultants. (So excited! Thank you Tracy!!) Such an awesome issue of things to look forward to and check out but ps- it’s still hot. I love Christopher Wynn’s quote “Heat advisories and margaritas on the rocks with salt. Hello, August.” True that, my friend!
I will follow up with more photos and details on Patina Green ASAP. If you haven’t been yet, it’s AH-mazing. Stay tuned…
