Looking for a new terrarium on the web, I found this site ABJ Glassworks!  They are a Philly based company and everything they make is by hand and is eco friendly!  What is better then that! First you can support a small business that makes everything in the USA and is eco friendly.  Every manufactuer should be like this.  They also make this amazing lamp!  They are such beautiful pieces for your home, and are one of a kind!

Omg, this is the cutest pillow.  I think it is beautiful where ever you are! There is beauty in everything we see, sometimes we just have to look a little harder to see it!!  Nothing like a pillow to remind you HA HA HA.. seriously this is great, I cruised this Etsy shop and they have some cute tea towels, napkins and such!!!

Tooled leather BOHO cuff

In one of my last posts I mentioned my obsession with anything native american inspired... Well, I feel the same about tooled leather... I LOVE it.  10 years ago working on a job in Waco, TX I had a belt custom made with my name on it... I have worn it everyday since (no joke)!!! 
Looking around Etsy for a tooled leather dog collar I FOUND THIS AWESOME CUFF...

They may not be for everyone but being a horse girl myself they are adorbs!!! Anthropologie really does have such a cute selection... if these are not for you there are plenty to choose from.

Oxfords came back with a vengeance years ago!!! I am always looking for the perfect pair and at a reasonable price.  I was in the Gap and was totally impressed by the cute oxfords they have and for cheap. I have to say Gap sometimes does have great shoes... and these are a great pair.
I love the black and the gray ... they also come in tan.

Was I Native American????

I have an obsession with anything native american inspired... I think it is because I went to a psychic once that said I was Native American in my last 3 lives and my spirit animal is the wolf!  She told me I love the land and dogs... Well that is true!!!! SHE MUST BE RIGHT!!!!

In 1976 I came back as a german, greek, italian white girl from CT.... HUH?  Well..... I was in Indian Guides.. Indian Princess' and my name was little "little cloud." But I feel like my name should be "dances with wolves!"

Being drawn to all native american design here are some native American inspired things I JUST LOVE!!!!!

I found a great place named "AK Vintage".  A lot of the designs are native american inspired. The designer is from Portland, OR and handcrafts everything in the USA! woo hoo !!!!  Totally check it out!!!!

I hope you find your inner spirit and native american side.. The designs are colorful and inspiring ... The geometric patterns and the fact that there is a story behind most pattern's really is great!

Everything is better in DENIM!

I am obsessed with denim, I wear it all the time and have been known to wear jeans to everything... it's just my thing, I have not worn a pair of pants/trousers in so long!!! Denim on Denim is my fave and thank GAWD it's the style because now I'm in! What's it called??? the "canadian tux" well I am into it! Since Denim is my fave I am thinking outside the box and want a denim dress... I saw this one and LOVED IT...

This picture is small but I could not get a bigger one! This is a must have for spring summer, pair it with moc's, cute flats, sandals or booties.  If it is cooler you can wear tights and a sweater... TOTALLY ADORABLE!!!!

BEST BOOT for me Rain or Snow!!!

So I split time between Production Designing in NYC and then running a horse farm in Connecticut.  I NEED BOOTS all the time... when it snows or rains in NYC & on the farm... I have had a million pairs and I have narrowed down to what my favorite one is ..........3........2.........1............


 L.L. Beans 100th anniversary Maine hunting shoe!
Love these, and they are so cute and traditional! I wear them in the rain or snow. I don't think anyone can go wrong with duck boots no matter what. They look great with anything and are truly waterproof. They don't have any lining so i throw a great pair of smart wool socks to keep my feet warm!!  I love the height of them....They hold true to tradition and are the best. $139 is so reasonable for such a wonderful boot.. and it is designed to look just like the first hunting boot they made!!!
