I cant believe my good luck!! What a great surprise! Last night I was going through my Google Reader when I saw a very familiar picture come up on my screen.

Claudia over at the
the Paris Apartment had my peacock picture [that I took in Cancun] on her front page. The other day she posted a drawing for this beautiful area rug

being back in the country! Read the announcement
here. I feel so honored to be on her website! Thank you so much Claudia!!
It's funny because I bought her book called
The Paris Apartment, Romantic Decor on a Flea Market Budget over 10 years ago and about 6 months ago I stumbled upon her blog and have been reading [read: drooling] it ever since. If you would like some serious inspiration, check out her
blog
Claudia takes a bi-annual shopping trip to Paris and with her pictures you feel as if you are shopping with her. Trust me.
CONGRATS!!! You are a lucky girl! That picture is one of my favorites too! If you need a place to store that rug, baby arnold could use it for awhile! .... hahhaha
