Spring is in the air….

Thursday, February 21, 2008

It’s starting to feel a bit like spring around here…. I’m seeing Easter decor in the stores and spring fashion in the magazines… so I decided to change up my blog a bit for the season.

I also had my hair done yesterday and took a new "head shot" photo for the blog. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I actually did a whole mini photo shoot of myself with my remote control and tripod. I was hoping to get a few new pictures of myself actually feeling pretty. (Josh was out of town and I was home alone, so thank goodness no one saw me). I always love the way my hair looks the day I get it done, and I can never quite do it the same as my hair girl does, so I thought it was perfect timing. Hannah wanted to join in the fun, so she got in a few of the shots with me…  this one was one of my favorites…..

The tripod needed a slight adjustment because Hannah’s cute little nose got cut off in most of them. (Isn’t she a sweetie? ) Anyway, it beats being embarrassed in front of someone else trying to take your picture! And I got to delete all the ones I didn’t like!

Thanks to all you sweeties who already left a comment about my new photo! You are too kind!

Jen R - I love your new photo! ?You’re beautiful!Absolutely! You did great for taking it on your own, they look professional! If you haven’t noticed my photos they are super dark and I am sure everyone is going to think I am left handed bacuse I can’t do the projects with out using my right hand to take the pictures !;)I have to say, I love fresh out of the salon hair too… It’s never the same at home!

Carla - That’s a great self portrait! As much as I love photography, and take pretty good photos of everyone else, I take HORRIBLE self-portraits. I look like a geek in all of them! LOL!

Brandie - I love the photo of you and Hannah, too cute! Your blog looks wondrful as usual. I can’t wait for spring we still have tons of snow and ice and boy is it cold! I actually looked online at real estate in California the other day because I am so sick of the cold! It would be nice to feel the warm sun again and not have sick kids every other day. Have a beautiful day!

Andrea - I too love your new photo and have had the best time pointing out to people that I “know” you because of your blog…when I see you in magazines!!! How fun is that. Then I get silly and start pointing out a some of my great finds from your store like they care….. luckily they humor me….Hannah is so adorable by the way. Please post more about spring. It is still cold and snowy here…..

joyce - Hi Sara,
SO…I guess this means I’m a belated sweetie, LOL -anyways, this one brings out much more character for some reason. What is the french cube soap used for? In the journal section of your shop you have a DANCER one -can you tell me a little bit more about the actual dancer emblem? Thank you.

naomi - Well, you and your pup are just gorgeous!!!! I have the same problem, never being able to get my hair done exactly the way my hairdresser does it.

February 24, 2008 - 2:30 pm

Susie harris - as I was reading your blog my son just walked in with a six week old black lab puppy. How can a mother say no to that! Im not sure our 4yr old yorkie will take to the puppy but we will just have to see. Hope it’s as sweet as your baby. Love your new look! Take care

tracy - I’m glad I’m not the only one out there who has taken self-portraits & felt completely embarrassed about it!!

Your photos look great ~ you are very photogenic!

I bought the March Romantic Homes this weekend; your home is too lovely for words. Just the right mix of old & new, and French styling without being too over-the-top-obvious French.
