Hello Monday!

Good morning gentle reader! How are you? How was your weekend? We had rain all weekend long (I thought of adding a label "where I whine about the weather" to this post, but better sense prevailed! :D ). Anyway, as the saying goes "when life gives you lemons......" so that's what we did. We went and saw a movie! If you're into animated movies (or have kids/are young at heart), Rio was lovely! I must tell you the story of my pet bird someday(he was allowed to roam free--the awaragard (vagabond) that he was, he would fly all over and come back at night to be tucked into his cage.) So this movie really resonated with me (who am I kidding.  I love animated movies. Pssst...embarrassing confession: I cried during "Up".) 

Okay, confession over.

Of Peacocks and Paisleys. Photo taken by me last fall.

I also made a few changes to the blog over the weekend:  the little pictures in the sidebar to your right link back to past home tours, artist and designer profiles and also to some of the DIYs I have covered on P&P. I used to feel overwhelmed with all the text on the sidebar and I feel this is more visually appealing. I'm also planning to add a few more graphics that link back to other popular labels. What do you think? Like it or revert back to the way things were? Any other suggestions for navigation features that you would like to see here? I aim to serve. :D I'm getting bored with the way things are and I wanted to do this dramatic Ta-Dah revelation, but somewhere along the way I got impatient lost steam and this is what I'm dishing out. An overhaul, but piecemeal. *shrugs*. There's more coming you way, consider yourself warned! :D

I hope you have a wonderful start to the new week.........
