Busy and fun weekend this past weekend. My best friends were all in town. AM was here – in from New York. She came to town with hubby JE and son JE, Jr. FF was here too – in from New Orleans. She came with her husband CCF. GREAT weekend with good friends. We had a fab dinner at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Saturday night…my sister – my best friend of all- came to dinner too. It was the best night (although I think everyone was tired – DS had just come back from DC; FF, CCF, AM and JE all had just flown in that afternoon…I was the only one who hadn’t been on a plane). The only weird thing that happened that night was that Mr. Chow’s valet lost all of my keys. FF and I ended up crammed in the front seat of the owner of valet service’s Toyota Camry as he drove us back to her hotel (I’d like to point out that the hotel was about two blocks from Mr. Chow – but neither of us were about to walk (unthinkable) in our heels and sparkling dresses…the rest of the group walked). FF and I typically end up in “I Love Lucy” type of situations…so this was par for the course!

Anyhooooooo…on one of these days, AM and I ended up in Santa Monica. We went for a little lunch and shopping. Since AM is pregnant, she stated “I am only interested in shopping for home stuff and baby stuff. That’s it. Oh and I want a night gown because pregnant people spend a lot of time in night gowns.” Hmmm…

Well, the world of baby stores is a foreign world to me…but I thought “why not?”. I knew for a fact I would be bored and would never see ANYTHING that I related to or liked but I thought, on this trip, I would take one for the team and head into as many baby stores as AM wanted. Well fact turned into fiction in this case…

After we finished lunch, AM dashed out of the restaurant and said “I’ll meet you across the street. I see a baby store”. Didn’t quite make sense about the “meeting her” because I was leaving the restaurant right at her side…I figure that is part of the whole “pregnesia” thing (the amnesia that so many of my pregnant friends seem to temporarily become afflicted with for 9 months). I just followed.

Well AM’s eagle eye had spotted a cute store called Little House right on Montana Avenue – a store owned by Annette Tatum.

Trailing behind AM…in her wake…I lackadaisically strolled into the store. Very blase about the whole thing. [Thought bubble: Yawn. Probably a bunch of pink and blue stuff. Yawn. Why is she walking so fast. Geez. I didn’t know pregnant ladies could move so fast. Let me catch up to her. I am not pregnant. I should be moving faster than her.]

Low and behold, inside Little House, I wasn’t bored because I immediately spotted this cute crystal round turquoise floral chandelier. It was at the back of the store. I whisked past AM, with camera in hand, and stood under the chandelier – mesmerized. Within about 10 minutes, I was purchasing said chandelier for my bathroom! My bathroom is white and tan; this chandelier, I thought, would add a much needed pop of color and charm!

Love it! Whimsical, elegant, modern with a feminine touch.

Hey…here’s a tip…look for reasonably priced lighting at children’s stores. I’ve noticed some cute lighting selections at Pottery Barn Kids and some other kids store sites too.

On Saturday morning, my electrician is stopping by to install it. I will post a photo or two!

What do you think of my new bathroom lighting?
