Spring Cleaning Bliss
There is nothing quite as satisfying as a real deep-down house cleaning! Alicia recently read this N Y Times Best Seller and used this method to clean and organize every room in her home! She has been so excited about the outcome that she has all of us and pretty much everyone she knows ready to do the same! "I love the method Marie Kondo teaches…you organize your home to bring yourself pleasure!" When you drop by for the book you may want to indulge in the yummy new fragrance {Pear Blossom Agave} of Caldrea Cleaning Supplies…beautiful and effective!
2015 Calendars are arriving!
With just a little sadness we bid farewell to summer and look ahead to the new year. It's the arrival of the art calendars that gets my pulse racing again! Artistic and printing styles range the gamut from subtle, graphic letter pressed designs to bright, detailed flat prints. Gold foil accents are popping up everywhere! Find beautiful art calendars to adorn a wall, functional daily planners, or mini-sized calendars liven up your deskscape. These are the gifts that truly keep giving all year long!
