$99 chrystal chandeliers

this website is the best! http://www.wholesalechandeliers.com/ $99 chandelier!!! u cant beat it. i actually bought my sister one for christmas. its beautiful. so beautiful, i might have to buy one for myself. the only drawback is you have to assemble it yourself and the directions arent very clear?? anyway, i figured it out after a few hours and it was well worth it!

great gift ideas

i was in anthropologie shopping yesterday and came across this little baby aquarium. it is amazing what science has done. made by NASA after years of studying they were able to create a world totally enclosed with no maintenance required. it just calls for some sunlight. i had to buy it for my brother and my mom. they make perfect christmas gifts! most anthropologie stores only carry one at a time because shipping them is difficult. check out this website you can buy it here.

an ecospere is the world's first totally enclosed ecosystem - a complete, self-contained and self-sustaining miniature world encased in glass. Be wary of inferior and lower quality imitations. Easy to care for, an EcoSphere is an incredible learning tool that can provide powerful insights about life on our own planet... and provide a glimpse of technology that's shaping the future of space exploration.

juicy couture monopoly? who would of thought. I bought a few of these for friends and of course had to get one for myself :) http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=102129&CategoryID=3968&PageID=3968*1*24*-1*-1*14 ugg slippers. my dad never even wore slippers until i bought him these last year. the sheepskin lining is the key to confort.

this is actually on my list :) perfect coffee table book. http://www.amazon.com/

being a bartender at a bar that serves a lot of wine this is perfect. seriously, i have not found one even close to this nice. it about 1 sec. to open. no lie! any wine lover would appreciate this.

love for twinkle by wenlan

this rug is gonna go in my powder room with the gucci wallpaper. its called the glamour girl rug (8X8) but its runs a hefty $1,792.00. hopefully it goes on sale?!!

her jewelry got me next...

i had to do a tribute to twinkle by wenlan. i love her style. she even came out with a home line, http:///www.twinkleliving.com/. she first inspired me by her knitting. known for her big, chunky knits she does some amazing work. that is why i must get this book.

DIY...chandelier update

i found this on the nesting blog. i love the idea...the color she chose is great too!

1.Clean the chandelier thoroughly to remove dirt and rust.
2. To eliminate a step (roughing up the smooth finish with sandpaper to allow paint to stick) consider using Krylon Fusion spray paint, which easily sticks to slick surfaces like metal.
3. Tape off any areas that you do not wish to paint with painter's tape.
4. In a well-ventilated area, hold the can about 12 inches from the chandelier and spray using long smooth strokes to avoid drips.
5. Let dry for about an hour. Then come back and add another coat. Repeat as necessary until you have desired coverage.
