I know there are many different views on last night’s Lost finale, and I’m not going to discuss them or say anything requiring a spoiler alert. I just find one specific thing unclear.
I personally loved the end and felt like it answered most of my questions. I thought it was incredibly poignant and beautiful. But I’m completely mystified by what exactly the bomb did. Juliet said that “it worked.” But how? Based on what we come to realize about the “sideways world,” it made me wonder what the bomb had to do with anything (this is based on the premise that it really happened of course).
So if I’m missing something very obvious – please enlighten me.
Where is Christian Shephard when you need him….?
I’m at Style Key West today thinking about “fearless” design.
Please do drop by!
Sorry to have checked out here over the past week or so and for having been so lame about commenting (the latter being a problem for a while now…but I AM reading – I promise). I have several half finished posts that I hope will go up this week. Time hasn’t been my friend of late – but I have been thinking about this blog a lot. And it’s the thought that counts, right? Right….?

On Wishing True…
I just love children’s songs chanteuse, Laurie Berkner. I see her little videos on Nick Jr. (which I still tend to call, Noggin) all the time and they always charm me.
I sing a lullaby version of Shady Tree to my kids and imagine that I’ll do the same for my grandchildren someday.
But if I had to pick my absolute favorite tune, it would be this absolutely adorable one about slowing down to smell the roses:
Have a case of The Mondays? Watch two of these and call me in the morning.
How cute are these cards?
Every other August, tourist flock to the Grand Palace in Brussels to view a massive carpet of begonias. Over a hundred gardeners are required to complete the project and it’s all done in under four hours.
New to me blog, Wide Open Spaces featured these incredible images:
This definitely goes on the someday travel list.
Designer, artist, decorator and accessories dealer, Victoria Molinelli was recently featured on Style Court. And I have to say, I find her fascinating. She does it all.
Of course it comes as no surprise that I’m quite taken with her interior renderings…
And she does commission work!
I love these textiles from a local (for me here in the DC area) designer, Camilla David Textiles:
I love all of the texture and the colors would work for varied styles. I wish the website had more than small swatches…but a Google search pulled some of the images above.
Lovely.
Sadly – I am not.
So I’m passing on the tip: two beautiful vintage dresses are currently available at Brook & Lyn right now (and one is going for peanuts!):
I think I might actually like the cheaper one better. Now THAT is unprecedented.
