We have a security system in our home. We had one in California and after several years here, I decided to have one installed in our new house. Just a precaution after a bit of a scary experience once when hubs wasn't home. The security system was installed by a professional. We installed cameras where I can see who is on our property around the house. Very simple and easy to do. The significant fact here is that hubs is gregarious and I'm not. He chats up anybody!
Anyway, sitting here in my office/computer room or sitting in our living room are 2 small (by today's standards) 19" televisions I purchased at a thrift store for $10 and $15 a piece. I don't have to answer my door if I don't want to. And I don't if I don't recognize the person at the door. There's also a sign out front that says: 'Absolutely Positively No Soliciting of any kind!!!' You'd be astounded at the people who cannot read! I've been thinking of adding 'And we've found Jesus', but if they can't read the first part then why would I presume that they could read the second part either. Sigh.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, the doorbell rang. Hubs was in his office and can't hear the doorbell in there. I looked at the TV and it wasn't anyone I knew. I went in to ask th' hubs if he recognized the man out front with a clipboard (Does this not scream solicitor?!). He said no, but he was edging toward the door. I stopped him immediately because 1) He's a sucker for any sales pitch, especially if it's a woman. 2) He'd invite anyone in just to chat. He kept edging and I kept holding his arm to keep him from opening the door. In the end, I won, but I could tell he was itching to open that door and see what the guy wanted. I'm not so curious. ;-) However, next time, I may just have break his arm to keep him from answering the door.

A quaint and pretty restaurant entrance in France.
I just thought this photo was so colorful and cute with that darling lamp and shade, wallpaper and table I had to share it with you.
A pretty gravel-strewn patio for resting and eating. Looks like a restaurant. Certainly, one I'd want to visit.
Colorful door and enchanting entrance, even if the photo is not very good.
Pretty roses-strewn vintage, rustic gate.
Probably a store with luxurious white goods, towels, sheets, gowns, pillows, etc.
More luxurious embroidered linens.
A dreamy sitting/living/music room.
Today I'm wishing I were here as I've been stuck in this house now for a week without going anywhere. Sigh...
Colorful quilts and linens. I must be on a linen kick here! ;-)
The minute I saw this patio with the red umbrellas I was enthralled. An old stone building that the resident in this apartment jazzed up with vibrant color.
Lamps are a weakness of mine and I change them more often than most people do. I truly believe they add one of the essential finishing touches to a room. Hubs agrees with me on this. And, trust me, he doesn't agree with much of what I do in the way of decorating but he lets me fly on my own wings. He loves me beyond any reason I can comprehend.
I have no clue where this mall is but a mall that has this gorgeous lighting is a place I'd love to shop.
A luxury bath I thought you'd like to see and dream about.
Just a bit of eye candy to leave you with today.
