Monica on Wheel of Fortune

Just wanted to let you know, my daughter, Monica, will be on the "Wheel of Fortune" TV show this Wednesday, December 14, 2011 It was so fun for our family to get to go to watch her tape this show in Hollywood. Many years ago, she won the grand prize on "Price is Right" and was in the mob on "One versus the Mob" She loves to play games and being on TV just makes it that much more exciting for her.

I'm always a proud Mom! You go girl....live your dreams

Decorating with a Touch of the Past

The motto for the Victorian at Heart blog is "Decorating with a touch of the Past". Whether the item dates back to Victorian times or is a recent find with an aged appearance it gives charm to a tablescape, vignette, or any space you are decorating. I use to call it junking, thrifting, and now antiquing but whatever you call it, you need to love the piece you buy. If you love it, you can find a place for it.

One question that I am most frequently asked is "How did you come up with that idea?". It may just take a theme, color, shape, or texture to set my mind to wondering. There have been times while reading a novel or just one word that sets my mind to visualizing a vignette. It seems if you have pieces that you love, they will fit together.

I always say, if you love it and you feel that "aha moment when you see it" it will work for you.

Happy junking, thrifting, antiquing! Just have fun.
