The Second Most Wonderful Day of the Year!

 
 
 
 

Hello Everyone!
If you are like me and get pretty bummed after the holidays are over I feel for ya but when I went to get our mail this evening I had the new Pottery Barn, PB Kids and a RH Baby & Child catalog waiting for me! YIPPEE! Is it sad I get so excited over something so simple like home decor & furniture catalogs...I don't think so! You always have to have something to look forward too! :)

What I love about getting new catalogs each season is they always have new pictures, ideas, decor and furniture. I get so inspired by it all and it gives me so many ideas for our home and the homes of our friends and families too. Do you love getting new catalogs in the mail?

I had a couple of people ask me for Watermelon Salsa recipe that I posted the other day. It is pretty easy and you really can't go wrong so I honestly don't measure everything perfectly since I taste it as I go! Here it is:

Fresh Watermelon Salsa
Small seedless watermelon, chopped into small pieces (I usually buy a half of one)
One bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
One small can of water chestnuts, finely chopped
One shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Lightly toss the watermelon, cilantro, water chestnuts and shallot together. Add the balsamic vinegar and toss to coat. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

Hopefully that made some sense! Like I said I kind of just wing it when it comes to that salsa but it always ends up pretty good! 

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm with you! I find nothing better on a quiet evening than to sit down in front the fire and peruse the latest home decor magazines and decorating catalogs!

It's the simple pleasures, right?

Oh, and your watermelon salsa sounds fabulous!
