If you’re looking for a little inspiration in the kitchen or enjoy being crafty with your kids… this sweet little blog will be right up your alley.  Just reading this summer lunch post made me salivate. What well behaved Indiana Jones fan wouldn’t want to tote around his very own bull whip made out of duct tape and a wooden dowel? And what a great way to surprise a neighbor with a bouquet of .

the FURminator is fantastic!
Now that summer has officially arrived, so has the amount of pet hair in my home.  Per the recommendation of a fellow animal lover, I invested in the best pet brush EVER! Even our cat Tuesday was amazed to see her long-lost cousin It appear after her grooming session. These miracle brushes work on cats and dogs.  They may seem expensive, ($39 for the medium size) but they’ll easily pay for themselves in lint .

meet our new 4-legged family member, GUS!
Since our dear Samson’s passing, our cat Tuesday has diligently been greeting Steve and me at the door when we return home… but it’s just not the same (sorry Tuesday, we still love you).  We both agreed it was time to bring a new pooch into our home. Sticking with our love of dogs that have big hearts, personalities and short legs… we decided that a Basset Hound would be a perfect match.  And .

… also known as Miz Mooz Anonymous Normally I only visit New York twice a year for the gift shows, however this year we’re showing at the National Stationery show. I’ve never visited my favorite shoe shop in May and boy-oh-boy do they have a delicious selection of summer styles. And so many fantastic colors… … and dainty details. It was so hard to choose – but I limited my indulgence to just one .

in memory of samson
Sadly, on the same night of Girl's Night Out, Steve & I were delivered some horrible news.  Ironically, for no reason at all … I watched Rob Bell's 'Rain' video earlier that day, not knowing a very strong thunderstorm was headed my way. In recent weeks, Samson hadn't been acting like his normal self.  After a few trips to the vet, he was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia (the worse kind that chemotherapy can't even .

green mary-janes by groundhog
I had a chance to peruse some of the shops in Rochester recently and found these sweet green mary-janes from Shoetique.  They’re super comfortable and cute to boot! After googling the groundhog soles I found out they’re also green (if you know what I mean) And aren’t these strappy ones and clogs hip too?

fabulous finds from stylish birdies
One of my favorite gift blogs to peruse is Rare Bird Finds.  Sharla and Mei Lynn find fabulous goods that you don’t see everywhere else. They started the blog because they were both always on the lookout for cool new things.  Rare Bird Finds is truly a labor of love for both of them.  They aren’t in it for the money (who has any money left after stumbling across so many beautiful things?).  In .
