Ciao!

this is my new pottery barn.

 it's a bit more modern than pb

but i did have fun shopping here today.

a new friend told me about habitat.

there are a few of them around the city

and lucky for me..

there's one within walking distance.

they have a great kitchen section

and all kinds of fun accent pieces

for your home.

i bought a few pillows, throws and 

some glassware.

i think i'll be spending some time

(and money) here.

and lucky for me it's not too pricey.

i told my french friend beatrice

that i'm in the market for an 

antique desk and 

dining room table and chairs.

obviously i'll be scouring the flea markets

but beatrice told me to check out 

french ebay.

spent way too much time on french ebay today.

:)

new pillows and throws.

makes me happy.

:)

my bedside table.

it's constantly changing. 

right now i'm reading 

david McCulloughs 

the greater journey.

i love history.

and i'm loving reading about

the americans that made their way 

to paris in the early 1800's to learn

about art and medicine and literature.

the kids started their autumn break.

we've never had an autumn break before!

so we're headed to italy!

ciao!!
