Today is so historic!

I had a completely different post ready to place on our blog today but decided to change the subject in view of the historical event due to take place today in America!

The inauguration of the new President of America, Barack Obama. I can't remember the last time there was so much interest, worldwide. Here in the UK we have been avidly watching and following the events leading up to this auspicious day.

In recognition of the importance of this day I know you will forgive me for jumping on the bandwagon by posting pictures from our members to celebrate!

Cardinals

A couple of years ago I spent sometime in North Carolina visiting with members of our family.  We had a wonderful time and one of the lasting memories that I came away with was the sight of a wonderful red bird called a Cardinal.  The Cardinal, I was to learn, is the mascot for North Carolina. Join me here in discovering these beautiful works of art!

Wonderful Blues

I wasn't sure what my theme was going to be, but once I started searching under InteriorDesignTeam, and finding such beautiful items, it became easy. The first couple of items I fell in love with were blue, so that made it easy to decide on a theme. I love blue, it is such a calming and beautiful color. Imagine these gorgeous items in your home.
