hello domino...

I have found a "replacement" for Blueprint {BP}... I had too! I couldn't leave a void in my mailbox! My SIL and BIL got me a subscription to Domino for Christmas when she found out BP was no more! I was so excited to try it and it was the other mag I took with me on my travels last weekend...only fair right... say a final farewell to one while welcoming in another!

I must say I found lots of goodies, inspiration, and learned a thing or 2!

I must share with you the "learned" jewels and reminders in my new read! Manners...no I don't think you are manner-less or even need a brush up, but I wouldn't be a dear friend if I didn't let you in on a few manners I didn't even know and one or 2 I forgot!


speaking of good eats and entertaining... how cool are these stainless-steel {sterling-looking} skewers?

I was excited to see this chic shelf-liner...now I won't be tempted to take the black and white damask I currently have on our shelves {and can no longer find} with me when we move out one day!

All in all I'd say Domino made a good first impression...I hope I was minding my manners!

Domino is a good mag- I have read it before. I was rolling dice at my mom's Bunko group when you called tonight. I knew 3/4 rules...didn't know the one about the tiered platter. Did you know I went to manner/charm school when I was little. I know, I don't show it.

I have never read Domino, but it looks great - and holding a drink with your left hand, wonderful tip!!! I have learned a lot!
Thank you so much for your kind words and advise Ashley! They are priceless to me...
PS - I love the poncho Lauren sent to Annabelle & Chelle! You have wonderful things! And the story about how all three of you girls met? Now that is an amazing tale! The Blog world is a small one, huh...
