hey guys! day 3 of my regime…(i was really inspired by diet tribe)!
i guess by now you’ve heard about the closing of so many magazines? i wish they’d keep the domino website up. sort of like a wickipedia reference where people could contribute content or something. online. i’m not sure why companies are closing instead of downsizing or just moving online.
maybe everyone will showcase their own home.
like this post by rachel ashwell. just detail shots of imperfections at home
maybe i’ll give it a harder try!

I was wondering the SAME thing, why don’t they make some changes and give it a fighting try!?! So sad. Anyway, Happy Birthday Dad!
Have a wonderful day Claudia!

exactly! as long as there are sales it’s a business, so why not just be a 3 million dollar biz instead of 5 or whatever?

The problem is, my bed NEVER looks that good when I don’t make it. Trust me, I’ve tried to make it work.

yeah, i sure know what you mean. lately my unmade bed makes me nuts so i’m always making it first thing in the am. maybe shabby chic linens really do work, i think those are rachel’s own design!

It’s what we give of ourselves to others, not what we accummulate that matters in the end. Things come and go. Gifts of the heart are forever. so I’m thinking you’re s rich as a princess in her castle. Happy Birthday to your Papa!

I’ve so enjoyed spending time tonight catching up on all your latest posts!! So many lovely things to look at, so many lovely new places to visit. And, you are a dear to mention Edward and me as well!!
Happy Birthday to your Dad! I know he’s beyond proud of you. And Rachel’s unmade bed looks charming,….but, I prefer actually crawling into one that’s neater!! Crazy, but true.

So sad when magazines are closing down and it is a pity they couldn’t ride it out.
Happy Birthday to your Dad and isn’t it great that they mean everything to you and your Parents must be proud of you.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs

Happy Birthday to your Dad, Claudia! …and you have the riches that I value most. :)
How’s this for irony? I just won a subscription to Domino a few days before they announced they were closing. :(
