Needing to take a bit of a time out in my inspirational corner

I don't know about most of you but I use Facebook for the majority of my promotional work for my blog as well as for the shop I work for, and the last ten days have proven frustrating.  Apparently someone can report you for spam and Facebook just blocks without researching, which means I have had a whopping two whole days of being able to share posts in groups.  I am so frustrated at the moment that I honestly am having a hard time finding my creativity.  Luckily for me I started designing this space prior to my annoyance, which means I have a gorgeous spot to sit, breathe and relax while I try and come up with some solutions for the issue currently at hand.


As the month comes to a close in a few more days, so do many of the months events as well, which means you better get on your shopping shoes and head on out before it's too late.  This gorgeous bench is from unKindness as well as the iron wall pieces and you can only find them at the current round of The Liaison Collaborative that ends on the 30th.  The Old World Patio Bench comes in PG and Adult versions and has a LI of only 3, and the art pieces only 1LI meaning they can be added to any décor without harming your land prims, which is always a plus in my book.  And if you are looking for another light source for your home or garden then make sure to check out the Lovelace Indoor Trees, also from unKindness, at the Wayward Winter event.  You have four different sets to choose from, and each set comes with two trees, one with lights and one without.  If wanting to get your hands on any of the goodies pictured here then check out the details below and happy shopping!

These walls have seen blood, sweat, tears and dreams come true.

If the walls could talk in a young girl's bedroom oh the stories they would have to tell.  Imagine the girl whose father put up a ballet bar when she put on her first pair of toe shoes with dreams of the Paris Ballet.  The hours spent practicing and dreaming as she thumbs through post cards from France, or reads her books or studying every move of the Prima Ballerina of her time all witnessed by the walls of her room.  Every where you peek inside this private space a piece of her dreams is revealed by the knick knacks around the room and most obviously by the practice bar that seems to be the center of her world.  The blood, sweat and tears from all the hard work paving the way to her dreams.  That is after all, the lesson learned as we enter adulthood, hard work is the key to everything, especially when reaching for the stars!  Stop wishing and hoping your dreams come true, and put a little effort in, the rewards will be well worth your blood, sweat and tears.


I don't know if it's just the time of year but so many places are looking for Home and Garden bloggers that I have spent the past few days busy filling out applications and checking out stores.  Along the way I discovered a few new places to shop and kept seeing new items at events, mostly Lost & Found.  There isn't a word in the English language that I know of to describe the amount of cuteness at this round of Lost & Found and I just broke the bank on my latest visit.  The adorable vintage drawer décor set featured here is the newest creation from the minds at unKindness and comes with the lamp, drawer seat, drawer pillow storage, and two stacks of pillows, one with lace and one without.  This collection can only be picked up at the current round of Lost & Found which is where you can also find the vintage heater and radio which are two of my favorite additions to the house right now.  They are both perfect for the shabby chic look that I love as well as able to fit in with most décors with the numerous colors available, so go grab yours today!  I recently heard about a new home décor store called Knick Knacks and I wandered by the store at the Cosmopolitan Mall, checked out the flickr photos, and ended up at Shiny Shabby JUST to see what I could collect from the Rappelle toi de Paris gacha at the event.  Though after quite a bit of linden I still didn't pick up a rare, I was excited to get my hands on a couple Uncommon pieces, which made my heart happy.  Ever since my first trip to Paris when I was just 18 I have wanted to return, and at points in my life the idea of running away there has crossed my mind, so this room has a special place in my heart as I think my dreams of Paris are becoming to high to reach, but that is what dreams are after all, the star just out of our reach, so I think I might just grab a ladder!

Finding Joy in the bleakness of Winter

I know that everyone has been talking about the holidays and about all the cheer, and family and togetherness but many forget that there are people all over the world alone during the holidays, and with Christmas just a few days away, this has been on my mind.  We all get caught up in our lives and what's going on, but we forget about the man who lives next door whose wife died last year, and whose children live on the other side of the country.  What is he doing Christmas Eve?  Or Christmas Day?  Do you think his holiday is full of joy and cheer?  See that lady sitting at the diner counter tonight?  Every night she comes to sit at the counter and chat with the waitress and the cook, but what will she do when the diner is closed because they are all home with their families?  I try and go out of my way during the coldest, darkest months of the year to bring a bit of joy to those who struggle to find it every day.  Whether it's through a card, batch of cookies or an invite to dinner, I know that this tiny thing I do reminds these people that someone still wonders what is going on in their lives.  No one has ever accepted Christmas dinner, but the smiles I have gotten with the cookies over the years keeps the joy in my heart even in the bleakest of times.  I hope that this Christmas message strikes home and prompts you to say hello, Merry Christmas, or gets you to bake more cookies to be given to that older gentleman down the street who is missing his wife.  Remember the greatest present you can give this year is the gift of true charity.

Unwinding with a little Bob Marley and unKindness

It seems like every year around the Holidays people I know are breaking up or fighting or something terrible and once again the heart break bug has struck but this time the victim was my bestie!  Now a girl can get protective when someone hurts her girl best friend, but when the heart gets crushed of your male bestie it becomes almost impossible to NOT go out and do a girl some harm.  But I maintained my composure, being the lady I am, opened the doors of my home, patted the seat next to me and did what best friends do, listen.


Lucky for us I had just pulled out the newest release from unKindness currently available at the Lost & Found event, which contains this fantastic "Couples Chair" with side by side poses making it perfect for you to sit and chat with your closest friends or special someone.  


The Battered Collection consists of the Chair, Couples Chair, Old Hatstand, and an Old Rug in 2 versions; with each piece uniquely designed and expertly textured.  Do yourself a favor and head on over to this new event to get this new collection from unKindness and check out all the other goodies as this is an event made for everyone, with a little bit of everything!
