I hope everyone had an enjoyable Mother\u2019s Day!  The weather was perfect here in the suburbs of Toronto and I think Spring is finally here.<\/p>\n

Time for another Meandering post where I link to posts from the past week that caught my attention, new products and what I am excited about.<\/p>\n

1) I have mentioned my love of Galbraith and Paul\u2019s<\/a> hand block printed textiles and wallcoverings before.  I\u2019m loving the citrus colourways and mix of graphic and floral motifs in their Spring collection.<\/p>\n

\"G&Pcollage\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) I loved the inspirational images in this post<\/a> on laundry rooms.  Holly is building her dream home and it has been fun to follow along with her.  I can\u2019t wait to see her completed home \u2013 it is going to be spectacular.<\/p>\n

3)  The 2nd floor of Elte<\/a> is now officially open.  If you live in the Toronto area, sign up for their emails and flyers to receive info on their upcoming events and promotions.  Their last promotion included $1000 off a $2500 furniture order!<\/p>\n

\"2nd

 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4) I mentioned before that I am excited to attend Blogfest 2011 in NYC.  It starts next week and I am so excited to be in the Big Apple listening to the brilliant speakers,  being inspired and meeting some talented bloggers. You can click here<\/a> to see who is attending and what we will be doing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be seeing the Kips Bay Decorator Show House where designers like Amanda Nisbet and Celerie Kemble decorate a home to raise funds for a charity.  See images via Elle Decor<\/a> and read an article here<\/a>.  Pretty over the top, wouldn\u2019t you say? <\/p>\n

5)  But it\u2019s this brownstone in Brooklyn, NY owned by actress Keri Russell and her contractor husband that appeals to me more (wish she sold tickets to see it!)  The pared down yet still stylish  decorating with organic touches and a neutral palette is stunning.    See more photos and read the article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6) Lastly, don\u2019t forget to enter my giveaway<\/a> to win House Beautiful\u2019s latest book, Blue.<\/p>\n

\"HB

Have a wonderful week!<\/p>\n
