Just wanted to tell you a little bit about one of my 'secret sins':  Baskin-Robbins icecream. "We SCREAM, you SCREAM, we ALL scream, for ICE-CREAM!"  Yeah, baby~it's the perfect ending to any day!  My drug of choice is 'Pralines 'n Cream, and, Mint Chocolate Chip'!  I used to walk to Baskin and Robbins as a kid, when it was at Woodlawn and Central.  I have never once tried any other flavors.  Not once.  In 47 years. Hmmnnn...does that mean something?  Well, now I have discovered Blue Bell icecream at Walmart carries the same flavors, and they taste EXACTLY the same, so , it makes me wonder if in fact they are the ones who MAKE the icecream for Baskin Robbins, or vice-versa.  ??

Just wonderin'...Are you in an abusive relationship?  Are you suffering from the grief of loss?  Are you suffering from low self-esteem?  Are you in a troubled marriage?  If any of these descriptions hit home, I wish you would take the time to check out this website: http://www.leslievernick.com/home.php?flash=1
I have attended several of Leslie Vernick's seminars through the years, and have invested in several of her books, one of which is titled, "The Emotionally Destructive Relationship".  You can gain powerful insights that stand to bring both clarity and healing to the issues that are mentioned here , through Leslie's website and the books she has made available through her online store.  Don't spend one more day in confusion or despair.  Hope is a click away.  Be blessed!

Thought I would post a picture of one of the shops in downtown Rockwall, Texas, that I just love:  Kim Hoegger HOME.  As you can see, it is full of the loveliest French-inspired home accessories and furniture.
www.kimhoeggerhome.com
It is brimming with weathered furniture painted in soft hues of blue-gray and white, and many accessories created from natural linen fabrics that have been painted with French words in flowing script.  Burlap is another natural fabric that has been used to create smushy toss pillows and simply-styled lampshades.  She carries a heavenly line of candles~Nouvelle~and also, wonderful fragrances by TOCCA.  My personal favorite is 'Stella', a very feminine, sweet scent, that lasts all day.  Natural , twiggy wreaths and painted tole tables and chairs , along with antique glassware and one-of-a-kind lamps provide the perfect elements to add French flair to your decor.
