I WANNA live there # 117

Good morning everyone !

I was looking across the pond for this week's home - and discovered one that  SARAH RICHARDSON   had decorated - it's heavenly really...............

I've never entertained the idea of having an outsider come in and decorate my homes - but if I could afford it - at this point in my life - in this particular house - I'd BEG her to come help me out here !

She's the Queen of detail and design in my humble opinion.

Have some tissue ready - there's some drooling involved.

I'll be ordering her latest book - which has been on the Globe and Mail best seller list for many weeks now
( because one can never drool enough )

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone !

Much love,
Me

Bye bye................blackbird - Wall Decal

If you asked me, I'd tell you I'm not crazy about birds.

If you asked me why, I'd maybe admit to you that they scare me.

Always have - 

I blame it on seeing " The Birds " at too young an age.

Or that on a night out once, my date brought me back to his parent's house and left me alone for 5 minutes while I watched an Amazon Parrot - HUGE - deftly take his clawed foot - open the cage door - and come towards me at an alarmingly fast pace ( walking - not flying ) 

Or that I once stepped outside my house - to see hundreds ( and that is not an exaggeration - hundreds and hundreds in fact ) of crows lined up on every possible wire - limb - roof top in the vicinity - silently staring at me ( or so it seemed )  It was an overcast day and the image has been tatooed on the back of my eyelids forever....................I later learned this is how they grieve when one has died.

A little too Edgar Allen Poe for my taste.

And some of you may remember my first experience with Grackles last Spring - a bird I'd never even heard of until we moved here - and of which I'm dreading their return - you can see the post on that HERE

Or Mr and Mrs Duck that came for a little dip in our filthy pool HERE

Which is why it's strange that I happen to love bird decor.

As in my pillows..............

Or other decorative items

The night light is from TJ Maxx - 4.99 - my daughter brought it back for me from Florida - love love love it

Anyway all this to try to explain to myself and to you - why I just ordered this......................

I know...............
I don't get it either.

Don't even have a clue where I'll put it - but I find it enchanting for some reason.

Have a wonderful Tuesday one and all

Much love,
Me
