designer bloggers news & a rug in a tree

Design Envy: Katiedid & Girl Meets Glamour met Margaret Russell last night at her book signing @ Ann Sacks in San Fran.  I wish, I wish, I wish… I had been there.

Today I am stressed.  Where did the week go!?  These little things above would make me feel so much better.  It’s 3:55pm and I wish it was 8am.  I wish there were 48 hours in a working day… I’d be able to get so much more accomplished.

I’m totally a sucker for any sort of vintage or apothecary looking label.  The Village Company ‘Stress & Tension’ bath salts come from Walmart and I go thru about a bottle of those bath salts a week.  They are a perfect blend of scents {juniper, orange & menthol to be exact} and they help me unwind before bed.

I love a good ole fashioned claw foot tub.  When I get a new design project I ALWAYS start with the plumbing fixtures, they are a VERY important element to the design of any home.  If I can find the time I’ll post about my favorite plumbing fixtures.

A new bag makes every girl happy!  I just love this yellow JCrew bag.  I bought it last year in an army green oiled canvas and almost wore it slam out in a few short months.  But keep in mind what I carry in a bag isn’t the norm… I’ve been stopped in security at the airport for having a huge metal door hinge in my bag.

Have a great weekend!  I’ll be working!!
