Hi friends!!  Hope this finds you well, and hope you had a great weekend.  Ours was very nice, though yesterday my son left and that is always bittersweet. The only thing that made it bearable was seeing how excited he was to go back. Knowing how happy he was made me happy…..but still going to miss that little guy.

The good thing is I am crazy busy mostly in a good way so have plenty of distractions to keep me going until I can’t go anymore and flop into bed at night:) I just cannot believe we are down to the last few weeks of summer,  for me it just flew by. I was able to check off many things of my summer bucket list, but not all!

Anyway as I periodically do I share with you recent happenings around here via my trusty little iPhone. Here is a snapshot of the last week,  of course only the pretty and inspirational lol-

Hi Tina,
I love, love receiving your emails right in to my inbox!! They always bring such beauty to my day! Thank you so much for what you do!!
I just have a question about your new hydrangea topiaries? Will they live through the winter? Do you bring them inside? You may have a greenhouse that I am unaware of. Also wondering about the pots; didn’t know if they would freeze and break?
Thank you!!??

The Teddy pillow is exquisite, Tina! Have to say, all of the photos make me smile. Have a great day!

This post makes me smile. You are truly my blue & white/floral spirit animal. Loved your reference to being an “eternal tweeker” as I find myself fluffing & changing things whenever my mind pictures another decor combination. So good to keep our dear ones on their toes & make our surroundings fresh & new.

Hi Tina, these posts are always such fun and a nice way to start the day. I love every single one, that Teddy pillow is to die for!
Love Bali Hai and did drapes in my family room in the green, not a day goes by that I don’t stop and think of how pretty they are, even my husband loves them and he never comments on the decorating in our home, haha.
Your salads and food always make me hungry! I need to copy your idea with the hydrangea trees for my new fishbowls which btw I love, they are so much grander in person.

LOVE your hydrangea trees, Tina and they look perfect in the fishbowls! That handpainted pillow with the portrait of Teddy is precious. Hope you have a great week.

Tina,

Where can I get the sconces in your picture of the 3 emperors on a side chest? Were they Ralph Lauren? They are EXACTLY what I need!

Just ordered from you several blue and white and can’t wait til they come in Sept. You bring such joy to my day! Becky

Your daily posts just make my day so much better! Always fun to see the gorgeous musings through your iphone!

Good morning Tina,

Loved seeing Teddy’s photo on his very own pillow!

Have a great day!!!!!!!

Hydrangea trees? I love it! I had topiary boxwood for years, but a bug got them. I’ve been deliberating what to replace them with. Because the bug is still in the region I need to switch to something else. Your hydrangea trees look so good, I’m going to look into this!

Tina, I love looking at all your beautiful posts! I have a question for you. When I entertain it is usually rather formally. In Texas it is difficult to entertain outside – it gets so hot!! We are always inside unless it is the short window of perfect weather in spring and fall.
I usually do a cocktail buffet using all silver trays etc. I find that I want to add some height or vary the levels. What do you recommend that I mix with silver to accomplish this? You tiered server is lovely but casual. The few silver tiered servers I have found are small and the trays aren’t flat so they are difficult to serve on. I appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life and bringing such beauty into our homes. Always open your post first.

PAINTED PILLOWS OF YOUR DOGS… OH MY GOD, TO SEE THAT MADE ME SMILE INSTEAD OF CRYING…I LOST MY INCREDIBLE COCKAPOO “CODY” AFTER 11YEARS THIS PAST JANUARY..WE ARE STILL DEVASTATED… MY GIRLS STILL SLEEP WITH HIS TOYS..I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOME WAY TO HAVE A PORTRAIT DONE, BUT THE PILLOWS ARE FABULOUS… I WILL BE WATCHING FOR THEM. THANKS..

Love, Love all your pictures of your house, but would love to see a collection from your friends house too, it looks like it is as gorgeous as yours!!!!

the avignon tape in the most exquisite blue. the eternal tweaking. teddy. flower boxes in NYC. it’s almost too much lovely to absorb on a tuesday morning. but i will receive it happily because it’s all deliciously stamped with your signature charm and gracious hospitality, friend. thank you for inviting me into your enchanting haven time and time again. for reminding me how blue and white make me feel happy. and for glimpses of your heart in each installment of lovely here. xox

Hydrangea trees, fish bowls and a Teddy pillow! Awesome…..

Love the sofa arrangement of pillows and fabric samples…..a real doable combo. Especially the oriental embroidered or painted scenes, just the perfect foil for the patterns.

Thanks again for the post.
