a Christmas tree in a bullet planter

Will the tall bullet planter save the Christmas tree from Minnow's destructive ways?  We hope so!

hanging love

In 1996, I was so lucky to meet one of the most creative and inspiring ladies.  Michele taught me how to sew, was the best thrift store shopping partner, was way ahead of everyone with her style, made the most delicious corn bread, and will always be a friend that never ceases to amaze me.  And she's finally blogging! 

Michele is currently in production of these kirigama-style lanterns that I absolutely love.  I hope to get a few of my plants in these soon - hanging high above Minnow's plant eating jaws!   

If you are interested, e-mail: mishdafish@bigpond.com. She can ship anywhere in the world.

new at the ranch

Here are a few new things around the house that Minnow has not destroyed yet...

black and white wool area rug in our bedroom (a TJ Maxx find)

black ceramic vase from Target

yellow and white wool rug still searching for its spot in the house (another score from TJ Maxx)

pillows from CB2 (hidden from Minnow)

bought this today - ceramic owl container from Target  (currently my dog treat holder)

naughty and nice

Lottie was the best puppy.  A perfect angel.  She was never destructive.  My furniture and belongings were always safe.  And then there's Minnow. 

My chair with Lottie...

My chair with Minnow...

Minnow also bites the leaves off my plants, chews up my magazines, will jump up on the coffee table and leap from there to the couch, can be found standing on the dining room table, and knocks the water bowl over daily.  Puppies.  I do love them... even when they're naughty.  And it's a good thing she is so cute! 

grey and camel

Minnow and Lottie have new matching FabDog puffer jackets in reversible camel and grey.   Loving the camel and grey color pallette right now.
