and since I brought up plants today, please view the beautiful dining space of Anna Wintour (World of Interiors Magazine)

I have no green thumb to speak of.  I only have one Christmas cactus my girlfriend gave us as a housewarming gift.  Once in awhile a bloom will appear (only has a brief showing…Wyatt loves to pick them off)

It is the only thing besides our family and our dog that lives in our home.  Do you have the gift of keeping plants alive in your home?

Have a great day….Julie

Have a lovely weekend,
