With the long weekend coming to a close, there is a brand new week before us, and how nice to start by enjoying the new issue of Rue magazine —issue no.05. I especially enjoyed seeing my dear friend Monika, of Spendid Willow and Splendid Willow Avenue (shop), and her beautiful Seattle home featured. Monika is such a lovely and warm person, a great Mother and friend, whose style is every bit as beautiful as she is, and refreshingly relaxed. Her keen eye is so apparent in how she has created lovely areas throughout her house, in turn making it a home for her family and all who visit to take comfort and enjoy.
Thank you for your patience and understanding of my absence this last week. Things are back on track for certain, starting off with this week's links: my guest post on Yelena's blog, All Glam Things "Five Favorite Things & Three Life Lessons" / great chocolate packaging / a beautiful garden and retreat for Spring and Summer days / a tutu in Paris / "my kind of glitz" —indeed, mine as well! et toi? / To frame, to live: Fifi art / and lastly, a new favorite jam that is incredible delicious....

Monika's home is beautiful. I love that wallpaper and the clever idea of painting that sideboard. She is a lovely and creative lady and her cute little one is just adorable. I am very happy for Monika; Someone with such a big heart like her, deserves only the best.
