Toluu : the SCOOP

the SCOOP

That's right... Happy Patrick Day! Early, early this morning, my 2nd nephew (and Toby's new baby brother) was born. Patrick Stefan Martin arrived a little after 2am EST and word from his dad is that Mom and baby are doing great!

I can't wait to meet him (and to get started on another awesome baby announcement!)

Trot Home in Elle DecorYesterday

This month's trip to the newsstand for Elle Decor was particularly exciting because Trot Home, the shop owned by my sweet friend Colleen Locke, was featured in the magazine's What's Hot! Shops section! Be sure to pick up the April issue and check them out.

Trot is also proud to now offer online shopping - the web store is set up and new product is going up frequently, so definitely bookmark it. And for locals, the shop will soon offer a series of workshops starting this spring. ***To celebrate all these great happenings, Trot Home is offering 10% off purchases of $50 or more this Saturday, March 20.***

Congrats, Colleen!

Tick TockMarch 11

This Sunday, March 14th is Daylight Savings. Every year this date seems to sneak up on me. However, this year the weather has me ready and waiting to spring forward. I eagerly invite an extra hour of daylight into my day.

These wall clocks could the make the transition even more fun. I proudly hang the apple green C&B in my spare room for an extra punch of color.
