Linvin The Queen of Love Armchair

Well, if you need a pop of color indoors or out, this over-the-top throne might suit your fancy. Personally, I tend to lean towards the black or white because color seems a bit superfluous, but maybe I’m boring that way.

Made of recyclable linear polyethylene, UV resistant.
Available in 11 different colors.
Made in Italy.
W40 x D35 x H43″

HEARTWORK

Heartwork is a program that raises money for art supplies for kids who are staying at Target House and getting treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Each year, Target curates a group of artists to participate and asks each of them to create and donate artwork based on a theme. This year’s theme was simple: Hope. I wanted to make something that really resonated with the kids, and thought that Charlotte’s Webwas a wonderful place to start—a story of both hope and friendship.

Ingredients

12 ounces strawberries, hulled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (2 cups)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup heavy cream
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 7 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, or rub in with your fingers, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream until dough starts to come together, then stir in strawberry mixture.
Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing evenly apart. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, and bake until golden brown, 24 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool. Cookies are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.

Ghost Furniture Home - Eco-chic Furniture and Accessories Designs

I came across this very cool site "Ghost Furniture". They have some very unique pieces and great ideas for home decor!!

Last Thursday I was on my way home from work when a tornado hit my town, it was absolutely terrifying. I had to pull over off the road at a local business to find safety. Once it was over it took me over 2 hours to get home and this would normally had been a 20 minute drive in all. Every road I turned on had trees blocking the road and down utility lines. We have some of the most beautiful trees here in Upstate New York and I have never seen anything like this. Nature can show herself in so many ways and on this day she grabbed my attention.
