Oh Me! Oh My! {the tale of the abusive blogger}
Oh Me! Oh My! I really feel bad about this post. I totally feel like an abusive blogger..you know the ones, who fill your eyes with eye candy and then disappears without any notice, then they come back for a bit and BAM!, they’re gone again. The type that always has an excuse of why they have not updated their blog in months…life, kids, exhaustion, forgetting they were a blogger…yes, that sums me up pretty well. Anyhow, I really have good intentions on blogging daily….I really do. I even have a great “Let’s Go Visit” post sitting patiently in my que…le sigh (can you hear my frustration). I’ve been so busy playing homemaker, homeschooling our seven year old, entertaining two toddlers, daydreaming, cooking, baking, daydreaming, budgeting, organizing, oh did i mention daydreaming. To sum it up, by the time I have any form of peace and quiet, I become comatose on the couch as I post a blog here in my head, but never physically in my admin…lol.
Ok, So I will spare you all with my excuses and get right to the peace offering…pretty photos and inspiring people! First up is Henry Road. I have always wanted to visit this shop! It’s chock full of fabulous finds; and for some odd reason the name makes me think of that old movie with Angela Lansbury called “Bedknobs & Broomsticks” and entices me to say the name “Henry Road” with an English accent. Now that I think about it it would be sort of fun to fly into a make believe world via a vintage bed covered in some fabulous textiles. Ok, I digress. On to Henry Road we go!
These are some of my favorite pieces from Henry Road. I absolutely love the chairs, and apparently so does everyone else, as most of them are sold. I posted them here for color inspiration. The camera sculpture and the ceramic candle holder (top right corner) are fantastic, and I think the number trays would look great in a little boys room or in a vintage kitchen along with lots of vintage milk jars!

Sigh!!! I missed these eye candies. Yep I’m not doing so well with keeping up with my blog so I’m gonna forgive you.
Thank you for this.

You can’t keep stringing me along like this! LOL. Those chairs are gorgeous. Make me want to take an upholstery class even more!

See, this is why folks need to “follow” (email, Facebook, Twitter, RSS…). I figure when I have something blogworthy that others will enjoy, I’ll post it. If don’t have it together, I don’t. Would be worse if folks just posted to meet a schedule.
Great chairs – thanks for sharing!

Exactly! I try to post when I really have the extra time…i want my content to exude motivation, inspiration, creativity, and to be done right, so it’s totally pointless in trying to post just for the sake of posting only to end up with a post that could have been so much better..lol..i totally agree! Anyhow, JuBella does have a facebook page…yay..like it if you have not already> https://www.facebook.com/pages/JuBellacom-How-Creative-People-Live/101953403176843 Thanks so much for stopping by!
