I’ve always loved how a map looks in a frame hung at someone’s home.  It always felt so personal, like this person has a true connection to the area in the map.  My former roommate and good friend Mary has a map of her home town hung up w/all the resident’s names circa 1980.  Its beautiful.

I’m excited that I was able to find a nautical map online of Anguilla & St. Barts together.  Where the hubby and I recently honeymooned less than 2 months ago.  (feel’s like forever ago).   These rainy days that we’ve been having in the northeast really make me grateful that we had the chance to go somewhere tropical.  And wanting to go back right this minute now more than ever ;)  I’ll post pics of the fabulous accommodations we stayed in soon…

I’ve been on the hunt for fabric to cover my teak dining room chairs for a while.  I’ve picked up some remnants here and there, but I haven’t been able to commit.   Now that we are moving into a new house (signed the p&s yesterday!!!), the dining room definitely needs a face lift, i.e. brass chandelier and sconces, beige everywhere.

I’m loving these fabrics from Calico Corners.  And loving the price even more….
