Alpine V...

My friend made this drink. It has a fruit in it called the Alpine Sandthorn Berry which is a fruit that contains some of the omega vitamins found in fish. Amazing. I was prepared for it to taste yuck because it's a health food supplement, but it doesn't. It's really delicious. Read about it here. Good job!!!

Elephants, Hearts & Flowers... Oh My...

Michelle came by last night to show me all of these lovely things that she has made this week. I think this elephant can count as a Granny Chic item because Michelle told me that the pattern belonged to her Grandmother. My camera is not doing justice here because the detail and the color are better in real life.

Very cute Michelle! Thanks for sharing!

If you didn't get a chance...

Please still put your two cents in on the flooring post below. And, I hope some of you caught the second two parts of the China From The Inside documentary that aired last night. Amazing!

Favorite Old Valentines...

Favorite New Valentine...

I bought these the other day for about $5 all together. They are tiny, the tallest one is about 3 inches high. They need one little posy each.

I also love these...

Conversation heart cookies... Also here.

Fun Red Velvet Valentine Cake...

See it here...

Granny Chic Towels...

Cute dish towels from Tag. See them here.

My Favorite Valentine Book...

Joan Walsh Anglund...

The Bridge At Andau...

This is the amazing true story of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The pages expose both the worst and the best of humanity and in the end the book honors the over 200,000 refugees whose courage will forever inspire me.

Ballet Flats...

J Crew has ballet flats, new for spring. Darling. I love these, but flats kill my feet.

Pondering Flooring...

This is a link the the Pergo flooring site, which I have been using just to look at colors. Either white is back or it has never left, but I really like Whiteside Pine. Take a look, then tell me what flooring you are dreaming of and why.

Granny Chic Tooth Fairy...

Who knew she was so lovely. See her and other cute things on this fun site... BabyGoesVintage.com

Granny Chic Cute of the Week...

Lovely... See it here.

Instead of a Baby Grand...

If you have a space where a Baby Grand might someday sit, but you are waiting for funds to arrive, how about book marking that space with a beautiful round occasional table where a large flower might be placed. This beauty is from Maine Cottage and comes in 40 finishes.

Sis Boom...

I love this site. It has such beautiful things.

Sis Boom...

I love buckets...

Love these buckets from The MacBeth Collection...

Does the cute owl remind you of anyone?

Anthropologie was selling mass produced copies of Chika's work, a Los Angelas based artist, for Christmas. I bought 3 to use as birthday party decor. This cute owl is a one-of-a-kind original and is available through Mahar Drygoods, a site I adore and found through Jenni's friend Design Mom who has awsome posts everyday. You'll love them both!

Valentines...

I finally finished putting the Christmas

away and getting the Valentines out. Hurray!

Spice Rack...

Boo, did you want something like this?
