my sincere apologies once again for neglecting my dear blog. i have a slue of excuses but i'll spare you the bulk of them.
so much to catch up on!
first off, i am having such. big. fun watching my first 'celeb' client kick *ss on HGTV's design star. i had the pleasure of attending boarding school with miss meg caswell. we shared an occasional illegal bevvy in the woods, as well as many laughs. and NOW i get to see her on TV every monday night.
check out these before and after pics from the bed & breakfast challenge last week. meg nailed it! so much so that my beloved vern yip said it was his fave room he's seen in 6 seasons of the show. you go girl!
before {yuck}
and voila!
i was thrilled when meg hired me to help with a baby shower she was hostessing.
with the help of jayme marie designs, we created a special soiree, bursting with with flair and personality {like meg and guest of honor, ashley!}
it was too much fun and i can't wait to share the deets. {hint, hint, meg. we know you're busy getting famous and all but can we get those pics?}
here's a sneak peek of the menus jayme created for the bright and lively 'bun in the oven' themed shower.
hmmm. . .what else have i been up to besides blogging?
unfortch, last weekend we attended a funeral. debbie downer alert! i consider myself lucky that these are few and far between in my life, but difficult none the less. my neighbor growing up passed away. he had been suffering for a long time so his passing was bittersweet. i love his family as i love my own so that part is tough but they are strong amazing peeps.
wompwomp.
on a positive note - i got to show c & p the teeny tiny town where i was lucky enough to grow up. it hasn't changed much, which is what makes it so charming. and my appreciation for it now far exceeds when i was a child. isn't that always the way?
anyhoot, we stayed at our dear family friends who own one of my fave properties on the planet. if anyone wants to buy it - it's for sale. here's some pics i stole off the sotheby's site.
{i don't really want you to buy it though because i totes need to visit it forevah. CBC, any extra carsh laying around?}
and here's some i took of c & p romping around the "yard" last weekend.
my go-to descriptive words "adorbs", "amazebalz", and "wor-ship" only begin to describe my adoration for this home, where owners "s & l" have a knack for making me feel at home.
simply put: they are. . . the. best.
might i add these are the same peeps that lent us our wedding getaway car. the t-bird!

thank you "s& l" for everything.
and for raising one of the sweetest gals i know, fellow blogger miss kate of the thrill of the chaise. {damn! why didn't i think of that?!}
i like to believe all of the hours i logged babysitting kate contributed to her fab wit and style.
my lil ladies saw some big glorious trees and witnessed a place where there's as many horses on the road as cars {and it's not because their amish}.
here's the farm where i clinched a few blue ribbons. then i discovered boys and TV.
i digress. . .
we also stopped at the village store on our way out of town to load up on some munchies and nostalgia for the trip home.
it had plenty of both.
i miss you bri-wa.
never change!
