Spring Saturday!

Hope you're having a great weekend and aren't getting tired of the bright and cheery floral images I've been posting this week! The Macbook is hopefully getting fixed somewhere right about now, and will be back this coming week!

What have you been up to today? Francesca hung out with her two favorite men today, her bro - Freddy, and her new man, Rico who happens to be a Great Dane! Hopefully the computer will be fixed soon, so I can share them with you. The pictures are HILARIOUS! What can I say all the girls in our family are short and love Tall men! She got it from her Mama ;)

On My List

Peace On Earth - San Francisco Bay, originally uploaded by candy_rose.

March, I am so ready to bid you farewell. You have been such a pain in a not so great place, good riddens to you. Yesterday my Macbook decided to peace out for the second time this month, and now it's time to send it in. I tried to post on my brothers computer, but that isn't going so well. Fingers crossed this goes through so you know why I'll be doing a disappearing act for a bit!

The only thing on my list is calmness!

Drive Me Crazy ;)

Francesca the Yorkie DRIVING!, originally uploaded by candy_rose.

Sometimes I wonder how I ever manage to get my pups to sit still, let alone take their picture. I just had to share this pic with you of my little Yorkie, Francesca! She is too much!!!

On another note....

    Many thanks to Ms. Fifi Flowers

and Fern And Dandy

for posting my images & linking to my etsy shop this week!

Spring Monday

I did really well on Saturday and had a fabulous time at the sale. Thank you to those of you who left comments of encouragement! I'm in the midst of editing pictures and will hopefully share them tomorrow. How was your weekend? I hope you had a great one, whatever you ended up doing!

Happy Friday!

This weekend I'll be up in the foothills of Northern California, selling my cards and prints. I'm really excited about it, and have been working hard to get prints printed, photos mounted to cards, all while taking care of everything else! I'm not stressing, whatever happens happens, and if worse comes to worse, I'll have an excellent set of stationery and gorgeous prints to wallpaper my wall with! =) Hope you have a great weekend.

PS If you're still having problems commenting on my blog, PLEASE keep me posted. I contacted typepad, and they said it has to do with internet browsers, but I'm starting to have my doubts. My apologies for the inconvenience. I know how tough it can be, unless those of you who use blogger allow me to type my name and URL in, I can't comment either :(

A Much Needed Glam Vacation!

    You'll have to excuse me I'm completely consumed with a fridge/freezer that isn't working, and my poopty pants baby, Freddy is knocking every collectible we own to the ground with his ginormous cone head that he still needs to wear for another week!

    I have a show on Saturday and I'm working diligently on getting photo cards ready so I won't be up until the break of dawn (as I usually am) the night before. This picture just screams what I need at the moment...a vacation! Kelly Wearstler is my decor style icon you might say!

Have a great Thursday :)

I don't know about you, but I'm always thinking of the things I have to do, the things I'd love to do, and I think about them so much, I lose sight of actually DOING! I've always said I'd love to learn how to sew, or be organized for that matter. I've come to the conclusion if I had a set up like this, I would do it all! How about you, how do you stay focused, organized and productive?

Happy Tuesday!

Hearting Coastal Living

Have you had a chance to grab Coastal Living's latest issue? I just got mine in the mail today, and I could not put it down.

One of my favorite pieces is the gorgeous abode of Manhattan Beach designer, Jill Johnson....

Beach Bungalow - Coastal Living

Love the black frames with white matting, and the turquoise! I wonder if my friend, Erin of House of Turquoise has seen this?

 

Minor Kitchen Renovation - Coastal Living

Love this photo! This is the epitome of So Cal Beach living if you ask me!!!

Coastal Living

When asked "what single item completes a room", Johnson answered "Easy - a vintage bamboo chandelier." Lucky Jill, she has one in every room. She found one on the side of the road in Texas, and painted it! Why can't I have that kind of luck? Have you seen how much bamboo- anything goes for? $$$ - Coastal Living

That mirrored buffet and those bamboo chairs are a dream! Yes, please!!!! -Coastal Living

Mixing It Up - Coastal Living

This might be her kids room, but I for one love that hutch! - Coastal Living

Also, the Fab Erica of one of my favorite blogs Urban Grace Interiors is featured!

On My List

Here are a few of my favorite handbags of the week with the exception of everything at Louis! Hope you have a happy Wednesday!

Miu Miu Bugatti Glazed Leather Tote - Net-A-Porter

MARC JACOBS 'Jen' Satchel - Nordstrom

My absolute favorite.....

Alexander Wang - Rocco Mini studded leather bag - Net-A-Porter

Rachel Bilson carried a red Miu Miu bag recently that was very similar to this one. I love the design, and would be thrilled if it was available in an even brighter/deeper color!

Miu Miu Mixed Leather Tote - Net-A-Porter

Burberry Prorsum Medium Maggie leather shoulder bag - Net-A-Porter

My Favorite Oscar Gowns '10

My absolute favorite gown of the night was actress, Demi Moore's Atelier Versace strapless silk organza (gown). I love how glamorous and put together she looked, and I believe she's wearing (don't quote me on this) Chanel Particuliere nail colour which is projected to be as popular as Chanel's Jade polish.

Demi Moore, Oscar Night 2010 - Just Jared

Cameron Diaz looks beautiful as well in this stunning Oscar De La Renta gown "with champagne tulle, metallic ribbon and gold paillate embroidery from the Fashion House's Fall 2010 Collection."

The gorgeous Mariska Hargitay (who I commend for not trying to look like everyone else in Hollywood) looks stunning in this navy colored Vera Wang gown.

I can't forget about my new hot man, Zac Efron

I hope you have a great Friday and even better weekend! =)

Front Page!!!!! Thank you Grandpa :)

On November 14, 2008 I took this photo, which would have been my late Grandfather's 99th Birthday. Yes, my Grandpa, not my Great Grandpa! He was the one person in the world who thought I could do no wrong, and in my opinion this photo can do no wrong! Every time I look at it I think of him, and I was so excited to see that it made it to the front page!!! Please excuse my excitement, I'm on cloud nine....yet again! =)

Grandpa's Rose Dolce Chic/Candace Rose Photography Etsy

Oh and since I was able to see it on the FP (Etsy front page) this time, I managed to take my own screen shot. Please excuse the poor quality!!!!

Love this space!

Black and white interiors are my fav! I love the look of black picture frames with white matting, and pretty much everything about this space! You'll have to excuse my flakiness, I've promised to include photos of the wall I finished a few weeks ago but I'm working on getting a website up before my show on March 20th! =)
