I love tiny gold necklaces. Besides my wedding rings (when my fingers aren’t swollen like little polish sausages) it’s pretty much the only jewelry I wear on a regular basis. Today, Gilt has a sale on Lizzy Scheck jewelry, and I swear, I would buy every last piece of it if I could. Here are some of the highlights –… Read more →

Organic Love
The Mini Social is having a sale on Kate Quinn Organics, and I HAD to pick up one of their infant saques for my little girl to come home from the hospital in. “The Coming Home” outfit seems to be quite the rage amongst new Moms these days, but I wasn’t quite getting what the fuss was about until I… Read more →
I must be stopped.
It’s like a sickness, me with furniture. But how cool would this little number look next to our white and teak rocker in the nursery? I think VERY. It’s the Easy Reader Side Table from Blu Dot (1/3 of which is made up by none other than Charlie Lazor, creator of the FlatPak house) exclusively for Urban Outfitters. Hot. Read more →
C is for Crazy.
So now that the walls are painted, the crib and changer are in and on their way to completion, and the rocker reupholstery is next on the list of projects for Scott to dive into (did I mention we scored some free white leather, so we’re going with that on the chair?) I’ve started to think about what we want… Read more →
Dream a little dream.
Once upon a time, before there was a baby on the way…before the economy took a nose dive…Scott and I had decided that our first home would be one of these beautiful pre-fab creations known as a FlatPak House. We made our preliminary plans (ours was to be notably smaller than those pictured in this gallery) we got our quote,… Read more →
Summertime Blues
My patio furniture is falling apart. This is particularly upsetting to me, because I love my patio furniture. And since the entire fourth wall of our living/dining room is glass that looks out onto our little tiny yard (and since our living room has now become my office) I spend 70% of the day staring right at the now-decrepit vintage… Read more →
And the winner is…
Thanks to everyone who entered the Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklace Giveaway! The winner is Jamie Oliver! (No, not the naked chef…SHE’s that beautiful lady pictured to the right..) Congratulations Jamie – I hope you enjoy it! (Wow, that was a lot of exclamation points.) Thanks to everyone who entered – I wish I had 175 of these so everyone would… Read more →
So Pretty. So Unnecessary.
I really dig this magazine rack. I came across it today while searching for a simpler version to house my never ending pile of old mags that I don’t have a clue what to do with. (I suppose that recycling them would be a good place to start…but what if someone needs to look back on when Britney met KFed?… Read more →
Sweet Dreams.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder who they’re marketing towards with modern baby furniture. Like the Ooba Nest Bassinet, for example. Okay Ooba, you got me. I want your bassinet. It’s beautiful, elegant, matches my existing decor, and turns into a toybox/play table when baby is done with it. But you’ve priced it at $800. I feel compelled to ask: … Read more →
I’m addicted to deal sites. It’s pretty bad.
Luckily, I am too much of a lazy a-hole to actually get out of bed and in front of my computer in time to score the deals (specifically from babysteals.com,) so really, I’m more addicted to LOOKING AT and SIGNING UP for deal sites. I guess it’s not that bad. Today? The Hooter Hider, in a print I actually think… Read more →
