A Nudge In The Right Direction

And, in my opinion, some of the best advice for a better life...
SisterBatik
One thing that I love about being in the blog community is how easy it is to connect with a wealth of talented people. A week or two ago SisterBatik found my blog. I'm so glad the two sisters did because I'm totally digging their collection of pillow covers.
As a pair they create gorgeous home accessories using African design batiks. I have a thing for brightening up things with pillows and am loving many of their patterns. Check out their shop.

Happy New Year
I hope you all bid a joyous farewell to 2010 and greeted 2011 with ZEST! We rang in the new year by renting a bar downtown with 50 of our dear friends. Very little can top a NYE 5 years ago when Josh surprised me with a marriage proposal (after only knowing me for 2 months!!). Or the following NYE celebrated in Tahiti on our honeymoon. But I have to say that this year's celebration went down in the books.
With my friends Krystine and Sara. And I know you all are tired of seeing this purse, you don't have to tell me.
I'm so glad I went with the sequin dress. Nothing like a little shimmer and shine to brighten a party! And the crowd was shimmering and shining. I wanted to add a little extra something so I strung a small bowtie onto a chain. I think it was the perfect touch.
Here's hoping for another year filled with love, happiness, and good health. I'm looking forward to more blog fun with you all!
