Guest posting at Pink Pagoda!

Hi there, hope you had a restful and happy weekend. Ours was pretty relaxing I must say.....and yesterday I got to spend the day doing very little which was a mega treat. I actually made spaghetti carbonara, a decadent 'once in a while" treat and pistachio ice cream sandwiches which my family DEVOURS. So it was a good day...and when you have great food in the mix, that's kind of the perfect finishing touch! I also want to say how very much I enjoyed reading over all your answers yesterday......fascinating!! I made a short list of movies that I haven't seen that rank high on the list for you.....love those kinds of exercises! Thank you for participating.

 This morning I am so excited to be over at Jennifer's super chic blog, The Pink Pagoda. If you love chinoiserie, all things blue and white and fabulous design then you are going to just loooooove The Pink Pagoda. She asked me to guest post for her popular "Blue and white Mondays" post and the subject had me tickled pink to step aboard. Here is just a sampling of her "beautiful with a capital B" work that is all available for sale...you go girl! Please do stop over to visit my post and say hello and discover a blog that you won't be able to stay away from! See you over there and thanks Jennifer!

    Not that I really need another iPhone case, but I love that blue-and-white one. So fabulous. You know how I feel about spaghetti carbonara ;) And I NEED that pistachio ice cream sandwich recipe! That sounds right up my alley.

    Spaghetti carbonara is one of my favorite weekend family meals. What's not to enjoy with all the EVOO :) and those ice cream sandwiches sound perfect for dessert. I always feel best going in to another week having had some down time - glad you got some R&R in. I'm going to pop over the the Pink Pagoda ~

    I enjoyed your guest post over at The Pink Pagoda. I love, among other things, how the orchids look in the blue and white pots. And, the fabrics are lovely. I'm anxious to see the fabrics at the windows, on the barstools and window seat, etc. By the way (and I have noticed and enjoyed it before), that view out your kitchen window of the curving driveway is so picturesque! And, it must be nice (and convenient) to see family, friends, delivery men, etc. as they approach your home while cooking and enjoying your kitchen.

    As you can imagine, the Pink Pagoda is right up my alley!!! Love all of her creations.

    I feel like I'm finally getting back on track after a bumpy week. One son fell at school, ended up in the ER (yes, same one who had the accident this fall) and luckily after seeing the orthopedist...it's just a sprain. First weekend without relatives in a couple of weeks. Finally fell like I'm catching my breath.

    And thank you for the great feedback on the house color. I love that so far 100% has said stay white. So, I'm gonna stick with what's working and play with the shutters and doors.

    Hope you are feeling settled in and enjoying every minute in your new home!
    xoxo Elizabeth
