Decorate: The Book by Holly Becker

As a former Blogging Your Way  (BYW) student I was recently invited to a book signing for Holly Becker's new book Decorate at the Anthropologie store in NYC:

 

I was a bit late with the RSVP but I'm on the list now so I'm hoping to see other BYWers I met online, at the book signing.   (Holly writes a terrifically successful blog decor8)  She is the ultimate blogger and writer ; creating her own opportunities working creatively on the web.

Will let you know how the event goes!  In the meantime check out her book:

Decorate 1000 Design Ideas for Every Room in Your House

Who doesn't love a fun decorating book with lots of ideas and resources?  Can't wait to get my copy. Been holding off for too long!

Tell me what you think of the book.  It's gotten terrific reviews!!

Stripes are for Sharing!

So Holly Becker of the blog  decor8  has invited her readers to join in her 1st annual STRIPE MANIA blogger round-up.  We have to take a  picture of ourselves wearing something striped in the last two weeks .   As it happens I need to update my blog photo and my daughter had just snapped a pic of me wearing one of my (too many) navy and white striped t shirts with my loden and silver sort of raincoat (actually completely pathetic in the rain but looks good!)  So here it is :

On the C Train in a Long Sleeve J. Crew T and Bensimon Topper Coat

 And if you'd like to join in the fun go to Holly's link  to find out the scoop.   You'll end up on  her stripe mania pinterest board. 

I just finished throwing my 2nd and last kids birthday party of the year and am thrilled to be done. Now on to some of my own projects ( I hope!!)
