Please accept my apologies for being away yesterday.  The day was packed to the gills and getting online was ultimately not in the cards.  But, among other things, I think we have finally found a puppy — he is a couple weeks from arriving at our home, but this sweet picture gives a good idea of the future Greayer family dog.

Here are a few fun links to check out til Monday!

• What I’m talking about when I say Inspiration is everywhere and can be applied to anything.
• These are so artistic and cute!!
• The most interesting daffodils I have seen in a while…..(Narcissus cavanillesii)
• I love bling…when used judiciously….but I’m not sure about this, what do you think?
• Surf Style is at least part of the reason why I want to learn to ride waves….
• Have you noticed the 1980’s flashback trend for Neon? Here is a nice way to embrace the fashion.
• Meredith (my daughter) is embracing origami (little pieces of paper all over the house) – I’m trying to direct her enthusiasm here.  I have lots of good uses for them in decorating the garden.
• Jen’s Mardi Gras Story has me lusting for a trip here….
• Over at Apartment Therapy I shared Shirley’s Country Garden Makeover earlier this week.

Have a great weekend ~ R
