Which would you choose? And a guest post!

Happy Monday to you! Notice a new banner? Told you this would be my new obsession, so don't be surprised to see it change from time to time. These are all my own house so it has special meaning:)


I am sooo honored to be featured on one of my absolute most favorite blogs in all of blogland, I am being featured today at Splendid Sass. Lovely Teresa chose to feature me, my home and shop and I am so touched and thrilled. And let me tell you, its like a book...she did an unbelievable job posting pictures of the house that even I forgot about and was so happy to see! I mean we are talking about Teresa, who posts THE most beautiful images to be found in the entire blogosphere....always something totally jaw droppingly gorgeous to see over there! I am naturally tickled pink to "make the cut" and be featured! So do head over...promise you will be glad you did. Click here to visit!



 A new week, and summer is here....woo hoo! I feel like its going to go by so fast already, I am ready to christen the new season with a much anticipated lobster dinner, a beach day and a nice cool tropical mixed drink! Whenever summer rolls around, I cannot help but think about how much I want a beachhouse. It happens every year....sure enough.
But then again when I visit NYC, it makes me long for our old apt. and yet again when I go to a lake, naturally I am craving a charming laid back lake house. And lets not forget about my dreams of becoming a modern day farmgal complete with my own charming farmhouse, a big thriving garden and only the sound of crickets. So all this desire brings me to my post today. Lets just imagine you and your significant other, your family or just you! has decided to buy a second home....a vacation reprise. Where oh where would you go? The beach, a lake, a bustling city pied a terre, so many possibilities but you can only choose one! So think hard, and let me hear which would be your choice!! I cannot wait to hear!


                                               CHOICE 1 This charming and cozy beach house









                            CHOICE 2 This picturesque tranquil lake house right on the water








                  CHOICE 3 This fabulous and chic  apartment high in the sky in your favorite city






           CHOICE 4 This idyllic farmhouse on a large plot of land with not a neighbor in site








CHOICE 5. Or who needs the maintenance? Give me a lifetime of airline tickets and my passport to be free to discover new places on a whim........

I am so torn between each of them.....truly there is something to love and lust after with each lifestyle including the luxury and freedom of traveling whenever and to wherever you want but then again, those airport lines, the chaos, removing your shoes, no water bottles, on second thought an actual physical vacation house that's all mine sounds really good afterall. But which to choose? I cannot wait to hear what you have to say! Wishing you a fabulous day.

UPDATE- I have taken a trip afterall.....will be back later in the week. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and fabulous start to your week! *** This post was slated to post yesterday, a day where I was due to set off on my Southern road trip but the plan was diverted :( My sister had a pressing issue that has delayed our trip hopefully just temporarily! But I am posting this anyway as there is a ton of fun links here worth sharing!*** Hi there, my camera is packed, my sunhat is ready to do some overtime, my suitcase is filled with clothes to keep me cool, and yes even my little portable water bottle fan (as kitschy as it might be) is there for safe keeping......you do what you gotta do to stay cool:) By the time you are reading this, I will be gone gone gone. I must admit I am quite excited about my little "southern road trip" and thanks to all of you...I have more than enough names and ideas on my list than I can possibly do but that's part of the fun! I cannot thank you en

Continuing Education - Environmental Issues

On the 23rd, I took another course:  Environmental Issues with Steve Selig.  His class was contact-packed - I took five pages of notes and we rolled through short breaks and lunch, frankly, I thought, eager to get back to learning what he had to teach.  A complex person - attorney, environmental activist, home inspector and remediation expert, knowledgeable in what seemed like everything related to the environment. The areas he covered were mold, radon, carbon monoxide, water, buried oil tanks,lead, asbestos, and septic systems.  The most amount of time was spent on mold - what it is, what the dangers are, and why it's become a leading concern in the real estate field, both with new construction and resale.  The short video he played was terrifying.  A family had neurological damage from living in a house - huge and expensive - that would never be able to be re-habbed.  The brain damage in the father and son was permanent also. Very simply put, mold grows where the humidity is ab
