How old are they now and how much do you treasure those moments?  It’s never too late but if it’s on your list, make it a priority!

I spent some time with the 4th graders – may be the last Valentine’s school party for me, ever. Wow – that seems like a milestone – you really don’t imagine class parties coming to an end when you think of your kids growing up! So, I completely missed wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day, but forgive me… that’s how I roll. Enjoy this doll & hope you had a chance to indulge in some chocolate or wine yesterday!

It’s such a beautiful day today! And I’m sitting inside, looking out.  As I archive all of the holiday photos, I thought I would share a few.  Aren’t these girls too much? And in their beautiful red dresses? Reminds me that Valentine’s Day is coming… anyone out there interested in some beautiful boudoir shots for their honey?  Could you be persuaded? I’m sure it would go over better than candy…

My good friend, Cindi Carter, did a fabulous job staging this house.  Anyway, I could hardly wait to share these, because not only do I love the design, I love the light & the house & everything about it -just look at the details on the staircase.  Can’t you just imagine sitting in one of these chairs, drinking hot tea with the fire going on a cold night? Or maybe coffee on a nice sunny day? Anyway, you get the pic.  Enjoy!!

This little silver box belonged to my grandfather… I think it was on the bedroom dresser in my grandparents’ room

Isn’t it pretty? Lined in red velvet…

And most importantly… it’s contents.  Their last name started with a U – cuff links just happen to upside down here.  I love that he kept the Goldwater button & I’m pretty sure the little watch face was my great grandmothers.

This gem wasn’t his, although he did have a passion for photography, this was a gift to me from a friend when I started pursuing photography.  I believe it came from Ebay – what a treasure it is.

What do you have floating around your house?

There’s something about girls & their shoes, isn’t there? It starts early.  Red & sparkly… just my style! You go Ava!

Isn’t he adorable? Along with his brother and sister, but there’s just something about this smile…
