My taste for possessions, has evolved.
When I was younger, I collected what I could afford at flea markets + fell in love with objects: glass, leather, copper or aluminum. Anything under $20 was great, under $10 better. Shopping was the passion; coming home with something new, the prize. I learned the love of things from my Mom.

If you can picture the cerulean blue waters of the Mediterranean, you will understand why the birthstone for March is named Aquamarine. Derived from the Roman word "Aqua," meaning water +"mare," meaning sea, this pale blue gem does indeed resemble the color of the cerulean blue waters of the Mediterranean, or the famous Tiffany blue.

The original phrase, has its origins with the constellations Leo the Lion + Aries the Lamb.
It's based on the relative positions of these constellations in the sky at the beginning + end of the month.

It was first made to sit a lady + her wide dress. Later the love seat, or courting seat, had 2 sections, usually in an S shape. Intended for the couple to sit together, but not too closely.

It's a lovely gesture to have fresh flowers in your home - let's say every Friday?
Basic rules of thumb:
-One type of flower in one color, per container
-No color mixing unless you are a pro
-Cut down the stems to fit nicely in your vessel (not pretty to see too much stem popping out)
-A little fussing is appropriate

Technically a "tartan pattern" is made up of perfect squares, so it can be turned 180 degrees or upside-down + look exactly the same. A plaid, on the other hand, can have stripes that clearly run in a specific direction.
