As I am sitting here waiting for two kids to fall asleep, I am trawling my favorite sites. I love to get design inspiration and lucky for us, there are so many amazing blogs out there with great ideas.
I found this picture of a side table on Absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com - one of my favorites.
The pretty table vignette is taken from here (I can't figure out how to post pictures from either blog):

I love the idea of this little side table with pretty objects and empty frames. We are so bombarded with catalogs and the big box stores selling us a 'lifestyle' that many of us have forgotten (or never found!) our own style. I love the casual idea of making a pretty table in our house. I am going to make my own pretty table (when Liam wakes up - he is sleeping in my room) on an antique secretary desk that I bought from Craigslist a couple years ago. It will be the perfect setting for some pretty objects and frames.
More importantly, I have recipes to share:
Shelby's Restaurant Soy Vinaigrette Dressing (Orinda, California)
This recipe was borrowed by our brother Rich over 10 years ago when he was a waiter at Shelby's. A fantastic basic soy vinaigrette for your own greenleaf salad. Shelby's served this with shredded chicken, almonds and fried wontons. This is the jumbo size recipe - you will need to scale accordingly:
Shelby's Soy Vinaigrette
4 cups Vegetable Oil
1 cup Soy Sauce
2 1/2 cups Rice Wine Vinegar
touch of Cayenne Pepper
Pinch of Salt
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
3 Tablespoons chopped Garlic
Next recipe to come ... Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies ...
