First, let me say I cannot control where these darned photos are going.  I can't seem to get them arranged correctly, so please be patient!

Sweet Girl is HOME!!!!  YAY!!!  Liz returned from Ireland Saturday and I was thrilled!  I picked her up at the airport in Philly even though she had a ticket to fly into Baltimore, just so we could have more time together Saturday.  We ended up having a great day.  We drove down 95 and stopped in a tiny town called North East in Maryland and found some of the most wonderful antique shops. 

Check out Liz's blog (here) to read about her trip.  Her photographs of Ireland are stunning.  She had a great time!

Liz brought me back the most wonderful gifts from Ireland.  She's the most amazing "gifter" I've ever known.  She always find the perfect gifts for everyone!  She gave me the sweet purple velvet box filled with wonderful treasures for my jewelry. Absolutely wonderful!!  I collect velvet boxes and grab them up whenever I can find them.

I have an ad in the new Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazine.  This is a fabulous magazine, published in Denmark, hard to find here in the States, super expensive, but worth every penny.  If you appreciate French decorating, you've got to get this magazine!  If you'd like to get it, I recommend:  www.thebeautifullife.com.  Check out my ad!  Chelsea, my website designer, did it for me and she does amazing work.

I'm off to start my day.  I have more news to share, but have to run.  More later!
