THIS LOVELY LADY

Things 'round here are moving at a brisk pace to say the least. Back-to-back events at Canvas Interiors are adding up to be a whirlwind of excitement. The dust has not had time to settle. We'll dust later. 

This weekend in these parts is an antique lovers dream.  There is the massive Rennigers flea market Extravaganza (Sunday I will be running away from home with a wad of cash), and the Orlando Museum of Art Antiques Vintage & Garden Show.  The best part of this one is the sweet and lovely India Hicks is the guest speaker and we will be doing a pop up shop both at the Museum before her book talk, and afterwards at Canvas in the afternoon. We will be a mobile pop up shop running around town with a car full of loot. 

I am so looking forward to seeing her. Inspiring, talented, funny, and downright special she is. She gives me energy if that is possible. I'd like her to bottle it actually.

Here are some of my favorites including the new Riviera collection just below:



And this trio was just introduced yesterday.  Extraordinary Oil, Lovely Lips lip balm and a new candle scent, The Grove.  I am a lip balm junkie so I  hope she arrives with a sample in her bag of tricks. 





Be it hanging out on an island or running through the streets of London, India truly has created  a lifestyle brand.



SIMPLE PLEASURES

A whole week has gone by and I have spent so much time away from the computer it is hard to believe it is Friday.  It has been a busy week wrapping up old things and kicking off new ones. Amazing how a whole week can fly by!  I hope you have had a wonderful week and most of all...

have a beautiful day

FREEPEOPLE PEOPLE

You know how you get to a 'certain age' where you still want to rock some of-the-minute Gen-Y  or even maybe Gen-Z fashion but you know there is a fine line between cool and so not cool? Well I'm there. But I still like to shop at F21 and H & M and I am still in love with Free People even though head to toe all that is a tad too much. 

In my Gen-X opinion I say find a wow piece and put it on with your boyfriends and a white T. Today for me it is these boots. I could not love them any more if I tried. 



The key to staying hip is to not be too hip. Right? I'm going with that. Firmly planted in my kick-ass booties.

SHOP these booties here, here, or below.



OUTSTANDING

Saturday we spent a great evening dining with friends in the middle of a field.  The Outstanding in the Field  bus rolled in to town and we couldn't be happier. Held at Lake Meadows Naturals, we arrived to a group of friendly local bartenders offering signature cocktails and locally brewed beer. It was then on to a delicious meal prepared by chef Brandon McGlamery and the lovely staff from Prato, our favorite go-to restaurant here in the WP (Winter Park). And yes, it was outstanding. 

Our local community of growers, makers, and doers came together to provide a wonderful experience orchestrated by the fun and friendly Outstanding crew.  Head to the Outstanding in the Field  website and see if the bus is headed your way.

I am finding with extra time at home I am becoming more of a shopping sleuth. I have shopped on Amazon forever, but never really for 'fa...
