how i got my groove back
i admit falling off the earth for the past few days. between having 10 days left before relocating, the kitten and my guy, i haven’t had time for much else. leave it to another blogger to bring me back
to the lovely blogging arena, full of new, beautiful and inspiring pics, places and people! (and pets)
this time it was paris atelier. she did a divine post with pictures that hypmotized me! and to top that post off was a great big cherry cause she mentioned my trips to the fleas en Paris! check her out, i just had to share her delicious pics and shout ‘thank you’ from the rooftops!
a couple other things are going on, i’m determined to finish the boutique revamp (preview above, think i shared this before but i swear i’m making progress)
and we’re adding the final touches to the Boudoir Noir Line
making the final choices
there are so many beauties
these are only a few of the pieces.
there’ll be chaise lounges, mirrored beds,
loveseats and slipper chairs, vanity benches
and everything will be tufted and pink and silk! (sorry, i got carried away :)
ok, maybe not this one will have a limited market…well now back to work, hopefully i’ll accomplish a lot this week, i’m so motivated right now and want to take advantage of myself! ;p

Hey Claudia – good luck with your move – even a ‘next door’ move takes energy.
I am excited about buying your boudoir noir book.I love those vixens of the silver screen and their beautiful boudoirs. Growing up in Los Angeles, the movies and their film studios were all over the neighborhood. After watching those Million Dollar Movies, I could picture myself in a satin dressing gown, maribou slippers,a cigarette, (hey, I grew up in the early 60’s!) and a dressing table with a big round mirror – complete with perfume bottles, an exquisite lighter and ashtray and hair brushes (for brushing my silky, wavy pageboy 100x before retiring for the night! Of course, Mr. Cary Grant would waiting for me in his smoking jacket.

Please don’t rush the book but please please please hurry up with it! I love the boudoir style from those old movies, I always wanted to live in one of those movie sets and I’ve been looking for great pictures of them to dream over for a long time.

Press Release distribution services ensure that your news is
big not only to you but to the global web audience.
There are probably many more, however these nine are the main ones I will focus on.
More importantly, I certainly didn’t know how to do this online, aside
from making the basic Kijiji and Craigslist ads.
