ABOUT

I'm a thirty something Midwestern gal married to a guy {whose antics provide highly entertaining stories} and a black lab that has completely and utterly melted my heart.  While my husband is Mr. Social, I'm a home-body who loves nothing more than reading a good book, honing my gardening skills and designing cards for friends and family. We tackle home improvement projects whenever we can... hence the recent sty I got in my eye from drywall dust.  My roots are Swedish {props to Grandma} so my propensity tends to be towards all things of Scandinavian design.

The idea for the blog came about in February 2008.  I tend to find some interesting things online and I love nothing more than sharing them with friends.  So I thought, why not expand my network of friends and enter the blogging community.  

I do have a bent for anything made of felt, table runners, tea towels and linen.... Nevertheless, I always try to feature products that are from smaller, independent and less mainstream sites.  From time to time I will slip in a totally ridiculous item that no one can afford but I'd say 8 out of 10 posts feature a product that is quite reasonably priced.  Good design doesn't have to put you in the poor house.  

To make things a little more structured {because I do THRIVE on routine}, I have broken the week into different categories:

Monday - products for the HOME

Tuesday - products for the COOK/KITCHEN

Wednesday - products for KIDS/PETS 

Thursday - GREEN or Eco-friendly products

Friday - products you can WEAR

Saturday - My rotator category - HOLIDAY, OUTDOOR or PAPER

Sunday - INDIE products from etsy.com

I hope you enjoy!  Happy shopping and here's to the undiscovered!

Oh, final thought.... I love product suggestions from readers so please feel free to send your recommendations my way to blommashop@gmail.com.
