Granny Chic Cute of the Week...
A special someone sent me these Valentines! Thank you, Thank you!!! I love them very much and I just keep looking through them again and again. I think the bluebird is my favorite and then I love the fuzzy ducky. These are so lovely.
Movie Night Again...
We've been having movie night almost every night recently while we do our little/big projects. I had about 3 hours of sanding to do last night. We watched What's Up Doc? This movie is a favorite. And, I think it would make a great Valentine.A Simple Elephant...
This soft & simple elephant is the baby boy gift that I am giving to a friend. I think this elephant looks really cute all wrapped up with Swedish Fish and Lemon Heads...

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico...
Beautiful Mexico! Shawna sent these lovely pictures fromher trip. I wanted to share them so that everyone
who is dealing with smog, fog or inversion
has something beautiful to look at. Those
pink flowers are heaven. Shawna said there
are so many pink flowers that they have
to rake the petals into piles and she
really wanted to dive into a pile
of pink petals. How did she resist???
I never would have been able to.
A New Leaf...
This is a favorite movie of mine. I seem to be the only person who thinks it's hilarious. I love Walter Matthau and his adorable droopy dog face and how he plays irritated. It's so funny.
This movie is about a guy who has a trust fund which would live forever if he would just spend $90,000 a year, and this was a long time ago, but he insists on spending $200,000 a year and so he loses his capital, his... He loses all his money. He becomes poor. Suicide seems the only option... until his butler explains to him that as an alternative to suicide, marriage might be considered.
You will not enjoy this movie if you take any of it seriously. It is dry and very subtle in places but funnier to me every time.

The New and Improved Studio...
All this stuff was on the floor. This little shelf is a Martha Stewart Everyday item from K-Mart. I love it! I was really surprised at the quality. It is really heavy enamel coated metal and I think it will be very durable. I thought I was out of the college furniture stage, but... this was 39.99 and it solved my floor troubles and I love that I can tie all sorts of do-dads to this thing.
Alicia Paulson...
Alicia Paulson is in Romantic Homes this March, right on the cover, (this looks like her to me). I love her blog and her little shop. You can see both here. Very Granny Chic!!! I can't wait to get my issue! Ok... off to paint... :)Fishs Eddy...
Thanks so much Jenni! This is a fun site. If you only knew how right you are. Aren't these things beautiful?!?!!
Thanks Lindsey... Jane Eyre... Marvelous!!!
Jane Eyre was so amazing. What a brilliantly talented cast. Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens were just perfect. I think they have made the definitive version. Has anyone seen this done better? Thanks to Lindsey for pointing this out. I did not know about it. PBS is the only television lately.

Hand Painted Love Boxes... St. Patrick's Day Again...
Maybe it's because I don't think I havea single drop of Irish blood, but I just don't know
which of these four boxes I should send out.
I did like the quote, so I made them all the
same that way.

Hand Painted Love Boxes... St. Patrick's Day...
When painting, it is good to get one or two holiday's ahead. I finished these yesterday. If you click on the
picture, you will be able to see the detail on the
lids better.
Inside the message says:
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow
& may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
Great News!!! April is back!
I got this note from April Cornell just this morning with wonderful news. April Cornell will be aprilcornell.com again in February. Hurray!!!
