I know you were probably hoping for some CHA peaks, but we have decided to start those on monday! (unless I break down and post sooner, there some good stuff we are releasing, and I can't wait to share). so for now I'll just post some pics from the weekend. kinda funny, my pics all have a lot of teal and green in them, starting with this one from music in the park in san jose. ....
i also started to register for my wedding..i was totally against getting any china, until i decided to mix and match a bunch of patterns (and brands) i figured this way i can continue to add vintage pieces to the collection ...i love the idea of nobody at the table having matching settings!
Oh and this is one of my latest estate sale finds, the very funky teal chair. It adds so much color to the room. we were dog sitting my parents dog, and he seemed to love the chair. Jovie wasn't sure what to think of him, she was watching his every move this weekend.
the weekend also consisted of lots of bbqing and hanging out by the pool. (which was nice, since i also got to run my kiln and make some necklaces for etsy, then i could go jump in the pool) Our friends dog also loved the pool- she jumped in like over 50 times, and enjoyed playing tug of war, while surfing on the pool mats. So much fun, we tried to have Jovie go swimming for the first time but she hated it ...kinda sad the long weekend is over
OMG! I must have that teal chair! It's gorgeous! So jealous... Can't wait to see the CHA peeks. I don't know if I can stand waiting until next week! lol.

love the place setting! i definately agree with the flexibility of mixing. i did the same for our daily dinnerware. i have at least one piece of every color they ever made of fiestaware. except lavender. but i havent given up yet!!!
swimming is a good way to pass the time in this area. i cant seem to get our dog near the pool much less talk him into floatie surfing. WTG! (Jovie is adorable BTW, what kind of pooch his he/she? looks a little poodlie)

Alison... love the chair... of course... it's gorgeous! and those pups... you know I love them to pieces... how cute! Roxy or Harley haven't been exposed to swimming but something tells me they wouldn't like it either. xo

Love the chair! Your post is so full of my favorite colors, and that chair is just so awesome! I also agree that no one place setting should match another at the table. ECCLECTICITY RULES!!!
