So…hope you are having some nice springy weather wherever you might be. Here it is arriving slowly but I am ready and waiting. To me, spring is a rebirth and a chance to start anew. I love the idea of doing spring cleaning and have been doing a lot of it and beautifying my home with touches of fresh flowers, beautifully scented candles and of course that unmistakable fresh spring air:)

Onwards to my Seven on Sunday………..

1  INSPIRING STORY OF THE WEEK Meet Roman, a modern day dog whisperer in a little boy’s body. What a beautiful soul this kid has, I love the new life he gives these shelter dogs. How inspiring when you see someone doing something they are meant to do even if it’s at 7 years old!

2 ONE BEAUTIFUL WEDDING I love checking out beautiful parties and weddings. I consider it part of my “investigative research” (makes it sound more official). This one is so so pretty, thought it was worth sharing, and of course the fact that it’s color scheme was blue and white makes it extra special.

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST If there is a theme (not intentionally) it’s about freight cities and springtime. Somehow this weekend it just ended up that way, and what a beautiful combination it is!

 

4 A WONDERFUL VIDEO ON THE SATURDAY MARKET IN PROVENCE. I see this and so wish I could instantly be transported back to this idyllic place where things move a little slower and the simples pleasures in life are celebrated on a daily basis. If this does not whet your appetite to visit Provence not sure what will…..magical if you ask me!

 

 

 

5 NEW PRODUCTS AND A LITTLE SHOP NEWS! Behind the scenes, we have a lot going on. We are already working on Christmas ornaments and holiday paper if you can believe it!

6. NEW RECIPE ALERT If you love seafood and namely fish,  like I do, you will LOVE this recipe. I tried it for the first time about 3 weeks ago and made it again last week.

Really really yummy and super easy! Found this over at The View From Great Island, click here to see more.

7  SUNDAY’S  SURVEY This has to do with travel. I love to travel and though we used to do it way more than we used to, one of my hopes is to get back on  track and start traveling more again this year.  A friend of mine who I would say is the most traveled person I know has told me about so many resources and apps that all involve travel.

It is kind of dizzying and requires some travel saaviness that I don’t think I have, plus I do like using a travel agent mostly because they take care of everything and therefore make my job a lot easier. I use one for out of country travel but can handle things when traveling on my home turf of the U.S. So…….curious how you handle travel plans?

Hi Tina, thanks for sharing this recipe. I will definitely will be trying this.
Happy Spring.

Oh my, I simply can’t wait to make that salmon recipe. I love fish but don’t make it at home as much as I’d like because I find it difficult to cook. So the more good fish recipes I have the better. Thank you! And I LOVE your new gift wrap and that tissue, divine!

Wow beautiful post! Love that wedding, the little boy and the Provence video.

In love with the beautiful giftwrap and new hurricanes. Also gorgeous flowers- love all you do, you have beautiful style!!

All your new products are sublime- thank you for being the brains and taste behind such a beautiful line of products. I find today’s choices pretty pathetic and that goes for clothes too.

On the subject of travel, we have a great travel agent who we use only for trips outside the US. She just planned a wonderful trip we Re taking in July starting in Rome, going through Tuscany and Florence and ending up on the Amalfi Coast! Cannot wait and she was worth every penny for her knowledge. D expertise.

Tina,
The instagrams of interest made me so happy and excited for spring ! Thank you so much. Cant wait to order the paper.

I really enjoyed the video about the little boy finding homes for dogs in “high kill shelters.” It is truly an oxymoron to have the words “kill” and “shelter” in the same sentence, describing a place to take care of homeless dogs. Teddy would be so pr

After watching the video about Provence, I want to visit too! What a beautiful area and I like the idea of apartments/hotel accommodations while you stay. I also like the idea of being able to choose what type of trip it will be, based on one’s interests.

Your salmon recipe is one I will certainly try.

The tissue and wrapping paper! WOW how beautiful! I want to try the salmon recipe very soon – that was mouthwatering. It would be perfect with a rice pilaf and roasted asparagus! Yumm! The visit to Provence was so enjoyable and would be wonderful to visit. Thanks again for getting my day started in a positive direction.

Have you listed a source for the glass topped work desk behind the sofa in your Carolina house?

Love your style…

Happy Monday Tina! I hope that you had a fabulous Easter with your family. I love the new tissue paper and wrapping paper. Have a great week and than you for sharing all of these great links.
