shannon leith - dang, girl! BEAUTIFUL!

Jaimie - whatever is hanging from that little doorknob.. i like it. : )

Gwen - I am in *LOVE* with your kitchen cabinets. I am not normally the type to drool over such things, but I remember the first time I saw them (I think it was one of your holiday posts), I did worry that perhaps I was drooling all over my desk. ;) Are they actual chalkboard material? chalkboard paint? Was it a DIY task or did you go with my preferred route and have someone else do it? :)

Le Anne - Hi Tara, I having been "spying" on your site since I shut down my facebook page. I thought of you today when I was over at Trader Joes and saw the display of fresh ranunculus. Oh, and I secretly hope that I just happen upon your craigslist listings...ha ha! I know! I am a big dork! Just wanted to say hi to you and Jeff. You cross my mind often (many times when I see your beautiful mom). Take care, Le Anne!

Lara - Lovin' your style, missy!

Zoe - love the shots - they say so much. especially love the pop of orange. a retro color in my book.

jody - So lovely. Love the ranunculus...just took my little ones to the flower fields in Carlsbad yesterday and saw the beautiful acres and acres of ranunculus. (With the ocean in the background on a beautiful day, it was hard to ask for anything more from a Friday morning!)

cheryl yost - I want to show my hubby your kitchen with the chalk board paint. If we can ever buy a house in so cal I want to paint my cabinets like that. I might beg you for more pictures of the kitchen then :)

heather - What a pretty room, love all the orange, very cheery :)

marcy - Oh my. Delicious.
