to answer your questions....part 1

*I met my husband in Vail, Colorado his second night in town....at a bar.





*The most romantic thing I've done for him.........hmmmm. It's kinda hard to sweep him off his feet, but I did surprise him one year and we went on a 2 week trekking trip though the mountains of Europe.





*Ha. just kidding {that was just a dream}. Nope, we really just went to Vegas for a weekend, but nonetheless, he was surprised.







* My favorite shop OTHER than Anthro is twofold. I love Target, and I love H&M.

*I don't really have any fashion inspirations, I just buy what I like and what looks good to me.

*No, I wasn't always stylish. It has evolved for me in the last 5 years. I was always a t shirt and jeans girl. Don't ask anyone about High school, I was the biggest dork.

* my husband NEVER complains.

*you know why? He moved our little family to Illinois for his job. No man should ever complain ever again if they do that. He loves white furniture.

*I love my older home, and knew when we were moving here that i wanted old and charming. we lived in a new home in Colorado, so been there, done that. I would like a bit bigger home in the next year or so, but it will be old and charming once again.

*My perfect day for right now, would be to spend the day at the spa, drinks with some friends, and an evening with my hubby. {in Paris of course}.

*My perfect career {other than wonderful mother and thriving business owner}, would be to work at Anthro headquarters. I would be a buyer for them, or photographer, or set display. I already ran it by Bryan about moving to Phili.........didn't go so well.

*my favorite paint color is Cottage white, and French green

*My family runs well, and I am perfectly balanced as a mother, shop owner, and blogger. As you can see from the pic below, sometimes "kids" tend to get into things while I'm PREOCCUPIED.

*I'm a Christian.

*I wear sweats to bed.

*You can have your children over anytime to have a lemonade stand in front of my house {as long as you give me half the proceeds}

*My favorite meal is Mac n cheese.....the kind with the powdered cheese.

*Don't worry about candle soot. really. just make sure your fire alarms work.

*my favorite past time is this. blogging. I love catching up on everybody's lives. Have I told you how awesome you all are???

*I would hope if a movie were ever made of my life that Cate Blanchett would portray me.

*I used to be in nursing in my former life. Peds.

*I don't miss it.

*Actually.....I miss the money.

*The best advice I can tell you is to be yourself. Love what you do, do it right and be nice and you will be successful. Success to me is not based on how much i sold or the money involved, it's about being true to what i do and making it my own.

*no, I've never thought one bit about my home being on a home tour......why.....do you know someone? If you do, then send em my way;)

*my favorite part about blogging is what i said above, connecting with all of you. My least favorite part would be letting to much info out. People steal ideas.
