summer dreamin'

i have to admit, that in the middle of january,
 i start to daydream about summer...

about strolling out the get the mail in my bare feet, 

eating outside on the patio and, of course, cookouts.

(am i the only one who is missing my grill?)

when csn contacted me and asked to to review a product,

i was very excited... 

it doesn't matter what you are in the market for

a pair of shoes, a laptop messenger bag, 
a decorator pillow, a light fixture or even a sofa. 
they have it all.

and since i have been daydreaming about being outside,

i thought i might get an early start on my 
outdoor entertaining with these:

i love the look of these thomas paul artifacts dinner plates, 

and since they are melamine, 

i don't have to worry about 

them breaking and shattering into a million pieces 

if i accidentally dropped them on my patio.

i also love the matching dessert plates.

the scrimshaw dinner plates or the 

hong kong dinner plates

would be a nice choice too.

several of my outdoor pillows are blue and white,

and these would go nicely, but i am

thinking i might be up for a change in color this year.

 those brown plates might look nice with

something like this....

is it just me, or does it feel a 

little bit warmer outside?
