Marie and Me

I have been M.I.A. (the military term, not the singer) :) the last few days because my best friend Lara and her sweet son came to visit and then we had a heat wave that my little girl didn't handle very well. I haven't had much sleep the last few nights, so I have been a little slow getting things done. Over the weekend I watched Marie Antoinette for the second time. I don't generally buy DVDs, but I had to have this one because the set and costume design in this movie is magnificent! I was even happy to watch the movie without being able to hear portions of it while my husband was vacuuming, of course that could have just been because I was so thankful I was watching a movie while he was cleaning. I love you hubby! I'll leave you with a few pictures for now and I'll try to get going on some catch up posts soon!

Kitchen Relief

What took them so long? Finally, we no longer have to clumsily stack our frying pans on top of each other, which almost always results in a messy avalanche. I just bought an organizer (similar to the one above) from Walmart for $8 bucks, and it is the bomb diggity. If you need some order in your kitchen, it receives the H.W.C. seal of approval! (by the way, if you blog about kitchen supplies does that mean you are getting old?...just curious)

Oopsies...

The Coaster. Always a tricky decor item, skating the line of everything from blah to campy. Yet, the coaster is actually a more crucial design decision than we once thought. It is one of the items in your home most likely to be used by a guest, and thus, it should be memorable. Introducing the coolest coaster of all time. A coaster that looks like..well...an accident. I am definitely going to buy a set, and a maybe a few to keep for "just in case" gifts. The Clumsy Coaster is courtesy of UMA.

Top-sy Turvy

I went to Anthropologie the other day and tried on a few tops. They looked better on the hanger than they did on me. :)

Itching for a Laugh?

If you are looking to laugh yourself silly this weekend, go check out The Seven Year Itch at Theatre Southwest. It just got a crazy good review in the Houston Press, promises to keep you entertained from beginning to end. If you don't catch it this weekend it is running through May 2. I'll be checking it out soon, and will post my review afterwards. For tickets and show times go visit the Theatre Southwest website.

BUY THESE SHOES!!!

Someone needs to buy these shoes! They have been saved in my favorites for a couple months now and they are way too small for me, but so cute! and only $20! I hope someone out there is a 5.5 or 6 and can give them a good home.
