Chinese Folk art from the Huxian Provence...

I adore Chinese Folk Art. I have purchased 3 different paintings from this seller on Ebay . And, they take awile to get here, but I have loved every one of them. They are so happy. I hope you will enjoy...

The Value of Art...

Vincent van Gogh

A favorite quote is by the art critic Bernard Berenson who said, "All of the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visible arts, the theater, must singly and together create the most comprehensive art of all, a humanized society and its masterpiece, free man."

If only I had a wall...

Do I wish that I had a wall to hang this vintage looking pay telephone? Yes, I do. They are available at Pottery Barn Teen. I have also seen them in a cherry red. I will post the site if I come across it again.

Beth's Market Bags...

Beth is a newbie on ebay and I was lucky enough to stumble accross her beautiful bags one day. I ordered one and was so impressed by the quality and attention to detail. Much of what you find on Ebay sometimes is really garage sale fare. Every once in awhile you find someone who is really creating something of value and something that hasn't been available before. Whenever I find these people, I am going to post them on the blog so be watching. And, let me know if there is someone I have missed, but they have to be BRIGHT because that's what I love. This bag is a present for ME! I'm so happy. Great job Beth! Check out another really cute Beth original here. And visit her store.

Cath Kidston... So Granny Chic and lovely!

If I had not found the Pottery Barn quilt that I chose for my bed, I would have also loved this cute bedspread by Cath Kidston and available on her site along with pillows like this and the cute tins above!

She also has the cutest first-aid kit ever and lots of other beautiful things! See them all here.

Raoul Dufy, Les Anemones... Beautiful!

Ready Set Play...

If you haven't played this game, it's really fun. It can be played by everyone from 5 years on up in my opinion and is a wonderful exercise for the brain. I saw it at Toys R US the other day, however, I could not find it online there, but it is available online at Target.

Happy Birthday Dear Jenni! Happy Birthday to you!!!

I have always been grateful to my brother for marrying Jenni, she is one of the best things that ever happened to our family. We all adore her and love her to bits and hope that she has the most marvelous birthday ever!

My Favorite Kimberly Hodges Prints...

This is one of my favorite Kimberly Hodges paintings. Thank you so much Michelle, I would have never seen it again! Where are you Kimberly?

Kate's Ribbon...

Another thing that I love is Kate's grosgrain ribbon. It is a bit pricey at $9.95 for a spool of 11 yards, but the quality of this ribbon is off the chart. It has a satiny feel and sheen that are perfect for the holidays. Forget the gift, just wrap up some of this beautiful ribbon. It is one of my favorite things on the planet. Also available on Kate's site.

I love these papers...

There are just a few fabulous things available from Kate's Paperie online, that I truly love. These are one... Beautiful rainbow colors...

Granny Chic Cute of the Week...

I love these mats. They are made of Mexican oilcloth for easy cleaning and available through The Land of Nod, which is the children's division of Crate and Barrel. They also come in patterns and colors appropriate for boys who also make art.

Best Wishes... Tiffany

They always make the fun things for kids...

However, I am willing to shop in the children's section to get the cute pink pig pillow. These and other darling items are made by The Koko Company which you can find with The Google as our President puts it. It will bring up several fun sites to see.

Granny Chic Jewels...

These are little pins made by Folk Artist, Nicole Bowen. They are available through earthangelstoys.com, a site which features work by wonderful Folk Artists. They do brilliant work and I wish I was one of them.

Best Wishes... Tiffany

I love this painting...

I love this print found at grandinroad.com. The paintings are called Vivid Stills by J. Collins Keys who needs more of a web presence. I saw another of his paintings in the Better Homes and Gardens Color Schemes publication on newstands now. The entire magazine is really beautiful.

Best Wishes... Tiffany

Good Things Utah

I sent this box into Good Things Utah as a thank you. I was so excited to have my love boxes on the show!

The Granny Chic Movie of the Week...

See this one again! It's really great!

Granny Chic Outfit of the Week...

This may not look Granny to any of you, but watch movies like The Philadelphia Story and other Katherine Hepburn or Audrey Hepburn movies. These are actually called the "Audrey Fit Menswear Pant" from JC Penny and if you go to the site and look these up, they fit at the natural waist! In my continuing campaign to see no more underwears and bums, this is a real breakthrough! Hurray!!!

Aunt Sherry's Party Decorated by the Lollypop Guild...

Aunt Sherry had a party to celebrate Tirra's new baby on Saturday. It was so much fun! We walked up the path befested (I know this isn't a word, but it should be) with giant lollipops. The house was full of colored pots of swirly lollipops as well and I got to take bunches of them home! We were then met by Dorothy, Toto and all the other characters. Each character was having a marvelous time at the party, running through the woods and all over the yellow brick road until, at one point I thought the sweet scarecrow would fall asleep in my lap. A wonderful day was had by all and we were so very sorry when we had to click our heels together three times and say...
