VIGNETTE A Pretty Pause

I was supposed to have a photo shoot yesterday (for The Everygirl…yay! But it got rescheduled…boo), which is always a great excuse to bring fresh flowers into the house. And maybe,  just maybe, have the chance to linger for a moment to appreciate. I don’t know about you, but my days have gotten crazy busy, and with the holidays coming, life is only going to get busier. So it’s nice to have a moment of pause every once in a while to literally stop and smell the roses. (A bonus with this particular moment: inspiration struck and I have my holiday decoration scheme here! Black, white, gold and a touch of the palest pink…stay tuned)…

At any rate, it’s been an extremely busy few weeks for me and I so appreciate everyone that’s hanging in there with me.  All good stuff of course that I can’t wait to share!

    The Everygirl? How exciting! A good point about slowing down every once in awhile and what a pretty view to do so. Love your home still and can’t get enough of it!
