cozy art form

 I love it when something is created to not only serve a purpose,  but to also make an artistic statement as well!
I love that kind of multi-purposing!  because you KNOW I am ALLLL about the multitasking!
  case in point,  our beautiful Austrian blankets!
Our new austrian blanket line is officially in STOCK!  and we are completely smitten!
  The new 2009 line is bold and fun,  complete with amazing graphics like you've never seen before!
  and the wonderful thing is,  they make an incredibly cozy addition to your home AND make an artistic statement!
  Isn't it wonderful that you can make your sofa look like a piece of art work?!!
  we LOVE that!

or a little arty detail to the foot of the bed!  oh MY!

heck,  they even look beautiful folded up neatly in an armoire!









 so come check out all we have in stock in the store! 
Oh and they are now online too!  whoo-HOo!  yes,  I have been working HARD lately!  ;)
 multitasking like Nobodies business!
this is my kids last week of school, so we have had lots of ice cream socials, events,  parties, field trips, swim meets, and everything else in between!!
oh.. not to mention that my husband is out of town for the second week in a row on business,  so I am doing this all by myself!
 but being the hyper-achiever that I am  i CAN do it!  in fact, my kids wanted a cake for the cake walk at the ice cream social,  so I seriously did one last minute, on the day of the event......and we won 3rd place!!  not bad huh?!  ;) ha ha!!

 this week we have my son's graduation from elementary school...*SNIFF*  he will be moving on to middle school next year,  so sad to see my boy growing up, but I am proud of him all in the same breath.
 he has been busy with swimming at 2 clubs mind you,  and meets....
 and of course there have been school spirit days where you KNOW i have to go all out and make costumes for kids,  because I am kooky like that.

how could I deny my little wonder woman!  ;)
 she too started her swimming lessons yesterday!
 and this is how flaky I am,  we are at the pool,  and Jackson is finished with his team workout,  Fiona is playing on the other side of the pool,  I notice some kids congregating,  and instructors getting into the pool,  I just *casually* ask,
"oh,  so when does the penguin development team start practice?"
  they tell me,  well THIS is penguin development right now,  and it started last week!
holy cow!  so I yell for Fiona to come on over,  you've got swim lessons girl!
sheesh!!
  SO I guess we do have some breakdowns in the multitasking chain of events,   I just thought I would share that with you,  so you know that I am not All that organized!  ha ha!
  anyways...
throw in a little gardening to the mix,


 and the puppy thrown in for kicks.....

so yes,  I am a tad busy,  so sorry if I haven't emailed or written some of you back!  my apologies!
  I am hoping to get myself back on track soon!
oh,  who am I kidding,  things probably will fall under the radar,  but you know the deal, you can only do so much right?
 and it's almost summer!  WHOO-HOO!!!!
 So on that note,  I am off to fire myself out of a cannon,
work on some new pillows, and email some marketing things, along with pump myself full of coffee!
 Hope this finds all of YOU well, thanks for stopping by to take a peek into my crazy world......
oh, and if your in the neighborhood on thursday,
our new little shop dog will be hangin out,  you know,
just as an FYI!!  ;)
XOXOXO
