Mane Bauble Basket

Finally found a way to arrange my adorned headbands so that they're visible and out of harm's way.

Win! Win!

To Dine For

Unfortunately, I am not in a place where I can photograph my outfits so I have decided to sporadically share other items in lieu of wardrobe posts.

I took a quick photo of my table, set for dinner one night in August, when my parents were in town for a brief visit. I am no Martha Stewart, but I very much appreciate being able to enjoy a meal on a clean, set, table.  The way things are served is just as important as what's being served and sitting around friends and/or family to share, even the simplest of meals, is often times a far more enjoyable experience than dining in a restaurant.

As for the second photo... sometimes while I'm still sleeping, delicious things appear to surprise me when I wake.

Less Walk More Wear

Once upon a time, I had a walk in closet. It was lovely; large and conveniently divided with a place for everything. I know that city dwellers often lament the ills of their tiny closets and as such, I fully expect my mini rant to be less amusing to those storing their sweaters in the oven, but as a gal who's seen the other side, I'm not ashamed to say, "I miss my walk-in!".

My current closet appears to be an add-on or an alteration to the Master bed and bath, but I appreciate that the Landlord had the good sense to add some shelving. I still need to get the shoes off of the floor and maybe add a track rug, but I feel I've done alright with the space and it's actually been working out rather nicely.

The plus side? I was finally forced to omit the pieces I've neglected.  About six weeks ago, I took to eBay; pulling, measuring and listing items. I kept track in a small notebook and thirty plus transactions later, I walked away with almost $2,000!!  Some extra cash, just in time for the Holiday Season, has certainly helped to soothe my small closet blues.
