So long, farewell...

Auf wiedersehen, good night...

Thanks, everyone; it's been real.

I'm putting The Dreamer's Den to bed.

I need to unplug, read some books, take my dog on more walks, paint the trim around the french doors, and do some laundry(!)

Also, I just feel done with blogging in general.

I'd love to stay in touch!  I'm on Facebook (Anita Severn Davis) or send me an email:  pillowmint120@gmail.com

Love to you all!

Take it easy,

Anita

Isn't she lovely?  Let's all be inspired by Ms. Apfel this week.  How about adding one more bangle before we leave the house?!

Can you imagine?  I want to find some rockin' zebra pants like hers!!

Happy Saturday

Old World Gets Me Jazzed

I look through a lot of magazines, read a lot of blogs, and spend way too much time searching, googling, and linking around the internet.  Sometimes hours go by and I come away with nary a pretty room to blog about.

And then sometimes, I strike gold. 

Meet an 1890's restored home on the Greek island, Nisyros:

 

The floor!!

 

I am a little lost here.  What is that -- a mattress??  Um...wtf?

Have you ever seen color so gooooood?  Great art, great furniture, perfect flooring, and gorgeous light fixtures.  Love, love, love.

Total Bliss

One of my favorite companies is Blissliving Home.

I am thrilled to announce they have some new goodies available.  If you are in the market for new bedding, feast your eyes:

*Obsessed with this over-sized houndstooth!*

On another note, I'm feeling much better, thanks to my new lover:

I would LOVE a sexy serpent ring.  Just found these surfing the web -- I think they're the prettiest snake rings I've seen in a long time!

I'm not a doctor, but I play one on my blog

I am self-diagnosing Strep throat.

We'll find out for sure when I get to the clinic and have my throat swabbed.

It has not been an enjoyable time here at 'the den.'

I hope all of you are healthy.

This looks like it would make a fantastic sick bed.
***Update:  Quick strep test was negative.  I have a nasty viral infection.  Rest, fluids, and Advil will be my remedy.*** 

 

Spread The Love

I am inspired by people who do the good work; people who strive to make the world a better place.

I want to call attention to the company 

Roma Boots.

Founder Samuel Bistrain, currently living in Texas, grew up in a small village in Romania.  He lived through many cold winters, going without basic provisions just like the oppressed people there today.

Samuel was compelled to help those in need; the children of Eastern Europe growing up there as he did. Roma Boots was founded for the purpose of providing warm, dry boots to those who need them.

Basing his business model after TOMS shoes, he gives away one pair of boots for every one purchased.

If you can afford to buy a pair of rain boots for yourself or your child; make a purchase through Roma Boots, won't you?

You'll be saving some precious little feet from cold snow and slush.

They're super cute too!!

Love to you all.

Happy Birthday...

...to me!

It's only 8:30 am and already I'm having a fantastic day!

John drove the boys to school and picked up breakfast for us on his way home.

Breakfast in bed always starts a birthday off right!

For some reason, I always gravitate toward feminine, frilly, and precious when I think of my birthday.  These are some photos off the web that make me happy today. 

Have a great weekend!!
