happy birthday sweet blog of mine

the month of february, marks the birth month of my blog. three years ago "obsessed with polka dots" came to life.  i enjoy my blog, and i'm appreciative of the readers who visit her and the "chit-chat" they leave behind.  it's a fun distraction and while i'm not certain how many birthdays she will celebrate (she requires a bit of my time) i don't have any plans thus far to let her go, and to cease the celebrations.
happy birthday, "owpd"!

nate berkus

no secret, i'm attracted to nate berkus designs. do you have his recent book?  i love peeking into the lives of others especially when it comes to their homes. and you know that i most recently purchased this and couldn't get enough so i purchased two more designer pieces of "nate berkus for target." i love these sleek trays. i'm especially fond of their versatility. one day they may show-case my nail lacquer, jewels, et cetera and the next day i might switch it up completely and use them to house items for my bar cart or use as a serving tray. i love the sleekness of these lacquered trays, the fine detail of the hardware and guess what? they were very affordable. when not on sale they were not expensive but i just happened to get them "on sale" and that makes my find especially sweet. cheers! to two trays, a jewel box and nate berkus who manages to always get it right!

i'm reminded daily from this display to take time for myself



she's my FAV, she holds my hearts.

the pug and her purpose

i prefer not to have an abundance of tchotcke peppering my furniture. if i'm collecting decor items they have to serve multiple purposes. the pug is not just sitting pretty by herself but has agreed to display my jewels around her neck.  and viola`, i have room in my glass mirrored cases for more jewels.

snow in tucson?...i know!

not everyday, never, does it snow in tucson arizona but today it snowed! it's wasn't that cold for the snow to stick and stay, it melted pretty quickly. i was thrilled nonetheless that it snowed cuz this gal loves snow, all things winter, and the cold! i know what you're about to say, don't ask. i'm not staying in arizona for long, but for now this is where i'll be until i depart for my next adventure. i love to see white in the desert!

Nate Berkus lacquered tray

this little number is one of my most recent home decor purchases. i'm currently using it on my vanity but i think i might utilize it on my bar cart when i finally get that pulled together. for now, it's useful for my tchotcke, and all the little things that i typically have peppered about on other tables.

wearing my heart on my pockets

i love these sweaters, specifically for the hearts on the pockets. wouldn't they have been just as cute had the hearts been on each sleeve (arm)? i couldn't resist purchasing both of them. they are an "antoni & alison" label.
