I get depressed just looking at it! So, I thought that perhaps three of these prints would look pretty nifty there. Framed, of course. We shall see. We've been here a year and still haven't made a decision. So, I'm not going to hold my breath on that one! I hope everyone's Monday started off the week just right! It rained all day here! Alllllll day. I walked to get my lunch today (just to the school cafe) and was absolutely drenched when I got back. Drenched! Yes... I had an umbrella. Worked great to keep my head dry. But, my pants and shoes? Not so much. So... tomorrow, I'm taking my wellies! I don't care if I end up looking completely ridiculous! Until tomorrow sweet peas! Here's to staying dry!!</p><br /><p>Happy Decorating!</p><br /><p>Mina</p>

They're also useful, which makes them doubly awesome! I've had them around our home for a long time and they always come in handy. Especially around here! Florida summers can be pretty brutal, so we use them quite often! Scour flea markets or vintage boutiques for these beauties. Just make sure they've been re-wired. They look terrific in a boho/mid-century decor! Try one! : ) Hopefully everyone's Monday has been exceptionally amazing. : ) I'm back to work from my Spring Break. I had a good break! Unfortunately, I spent it sick with a terrible cold! I can't seem to shake it off! Ugh! Obnoxious. But, I'm trying to stay positive. My state of mind is half the battle. Go away cold!!

I find out he's got a <a href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/">website </a>with all sorts of awesome things! What?!? I know, I know... some of you are saying... "You've never heard of him Mina?

I saw that the designer was Thomas Paul. I browsed around to find more creations by this fabulous company and found that there's pillows and fabric and lighting, oh my! Check out the website <a href="http://www.thomaspaul.com/">here</a>. You won't be disappointed! : ) I love everything they have! What I love even more is that it compliments our Mid-Century/Boho decor so well. So... get yourself some Thomas Paul for your abode and sit back and admire your awesome new pillows or mouse pad. : ) Happy Monday everyone!</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Happy Decorating!</div><div align="left">Mina</div></div></div></div>

I'll resist... for now! I mean, with a desk this sleek, how <em>can</em> you become a mess? Although, I can become a mess anywhere under the proper circumstances. So, I don't know. But, atleast it would motiviate me to keep it clean and clutter free. Don't you think? How was everyone's weekend? Everyone's Monday? I hope it was wonderful. I know I've been missing in action for about a week now. My sincere apologies lovely readers. : ( </div><div align="left">I wasn't feeling a-okay a couple of weeks ago and then I thought I was fine. But then! Stinky luck would have it that I get struck with a 100 degree fever last Tuesday while at work! I'm a champ though. I worked through the day, came home and went straight to sleep after some fever medicine. Next day? Did that <em>again</em>. No fever, but went to bed at 3:30 in the afternoon! I just figured I'd make myself rest as much as humanly possible. And, it worked! By the end of the week I was as good as new! : ) Yay! Healthy and wellllll rested! So, that's where <em>I've</em> been. Pretty much asleep most of the week. Glad to be back this week! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Happy Decorating!</div><div align="left">Mina</div></div></div></div>

I figure, if I have to get up at such a ridiculous hour every day, I may as well do it with a cute alarm clock on my night stand. Granted, old clocks tend to hum pretty loudly... so I stopped using them as alarm clocks and I now use my trustworthy cell phone. But, they still look mighty cute! See???

I got the day off for Presidents Day. :) Thank goodness for Presidents! : ) I made a resolution to not turn on the TV all day (which I rarely do anyway, so it wasn't a tough resolution to keep) and spend the day relaxing instead (which I usually do, so it was easy to do). : ) I set up shop in our backyard and read out there for a while. The doggies ran around. The sun was out. It was about 75 degrees and windy. Just awesome! I then cooked the hubs and I some Chinese grub! Yep! I made it! Didn't order it! MADE it! Ha! : ) Then I read some more... Now... after I blog I will... read some more. See? Just chilling the day away. Amaaaazing how slow a day without television can be. Try it! Totally worth it!
