grandmaman's tv room

When I was little we spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house... I mean, A LOT. She only lived about six blocks away so that was probably a contributing factor.

In her family room she had, possibly, the UGLIEST sofa I have ever seen... Of course I didn't know it at the time. As a child it was just a regular sofa--one you sat on to watch cartoons or old musicals (we were the only elementary school age children who knew the entire score to "High Society").

As an adult, one who is understandably very passionate about furniture, I now know her sofa was hideous. There was one pretty awesome piece she had in that room, the TV room. That was her tea cart. You know, we never had tea on it... She kept a lamp on it and I think a potted plant, but it was pretty cool.

While this isn't quite like my grandmother's it's still pretty awesome, and on sale!

my favorite things...

Anyone who knows me -- AT ALL -- will tell you, this is exactly my style:I. cant. help. myself.

UFS- It's more than a store, it's a place to explore.

cleaning it up

Life is messy and holidays can get pretty dirty.

You're going to need some of this:

And possibly some of these to go with that detergent:

wrap it up baby

So I have been pretty good about getting a jump start on my Christmas shopping... My shopping acumen goes in fits and stages-- Last year I was super behind, doing things at the last minute. The year before, Christmas 2007 I was SO on my game-- I think I started shopping in September.

So I'm hoping 2009 will look a lil' more like 2007 than 2008.

But it's not going to if I don't get on it and start wrapping up the presents I have. Luckily
we have a very comprehensive gift wrap aisle, complete with the secret delight of lazy people such as myself-- GIFT BAGS! Toss the present in there with some tissue paper... No tape or scissors required!
